    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Conan the Destroyer

    Does anyone know if the horse and camel that Arnold punched in this movie were harmed in any way or did they just make it look like that?

      I remember talk about the horses in the first movie being injured during the final battle. But, not during The Destroyer. Injuries to the camel were rumored. As I recall those stories were proved untrue.

        I just watched a documentary about the making of Conan the Barbarian and the director said there were no animals injured during the making of the movie, and that only people were actually harmed! The documentary brought up one scene where it appears that a horse falls through some spikes, but they said the spikes were made out of rubber and there was even a stunt guy that fell through them before the horse did, so if the horse was injured then so was the stunt guy, but neither was hurt.

          Lolof course the director is going to say that. That's like believing anything a lawyer or politician tells you. Very few honest people out there today that's going to admit to these kinds of animal abuse.

            So you're telling me the director was lying and they didn't use rubber spikes? They used real wooden ones and had a stunt man fall on them as well as the horse? Common sense tells me the director was probably telling the truth when he said that.

              They are still abusing animals today in the circus, horse racing, etc. So your common sense is flawed if you don't think that back then and beyond animals didn't get abused, injured or killed in movies.

                I think you could only say my common sense is flawed if there wasn't a stunt man in the scene. If they really did use wooden spikes, why would they have a stunt man fall through them too?

                  Look at the way the horses are brought down. Might not have resultated in them dying but like many horse stunts in old movies it can definitely be classified as animal cruelty.

                    there you go.. keep that wall of skepticism up, assume everyone is lying to you.. don't believe anything anyone says until proven otherwise.

                      I have no knowledge of what animals were hurt, but just viewing the movie, it seems some had to have been injured.. Maybe none died or were life threatening, but some of them had to have gotten hurt at least. It seemed like a horse was eating dirt after their rider was killed every 5 minutes in the beginning. Just an opinion from someone who knows nothing about filming these kinds of scenes, so I could be wrong.

                          No: the only creatures who suffered were the fans of Conan the Barbarian, especially me.
