I was waiting for this dog of a movie, based on an "adaptation" of a Howard
character (in other words, a Roy Thomas invention and piece of crap) to come
up.
I bought this thing for my kids 'cause I knew they'd get a hoot out of it.
They love to rewind the fight scene in the temple, near the beginning of the
film (you know, the scene where the queen's men storm in on foot and on
horseback, and either kill the priestesses or lock them under the altar).
There's a glaring error there, where one of the invading warriors is pulled
or knocked off of his horse, and he falls onto a big, granite-looking stone
which is part of the architecture. The stone, however, is made of foam
rubber, and it bends in the middle by a good nine or ten inches or so, like
a big sofa cushion, and springs back when he flies off. Pretty damned
funny, and well-worth rewinding in slow motion and playing forward the same
way.
And we wonder why the work of REH doesn't get respect....
