Conan: The Adventurer - (Complete Series)
This action-packed fantasy takes place twelve thousand years ago, an undreamed-of age before recorded history filled with fantastic kingdoms across an uncharted world. An age of superstition and myth populated by mystical wizards and menacing creatures, this Hyborian Age spawned a true hero, Conan. With the aid of ragtag warriors Otli, Bayu and Zzeban, he quests to free his homeland from the rule of an all-powerful sorcerer and deals with beautiful, fiery bandit queen Karella. This special box set of the entire series provides dazzling, sword-swinging entertainment for the entire family.

| User Reviews |  | Guilty Pleasure and a LOT of fun
rating: 3
I had toyed with the notion of picking this up for a while since I am a long time Conan and Robert E. Howard fan. I figured it would be a huge ball of cheese and I was not let down! If you liked Xena and Hercules, you would love this. It is a lot better written (and acted) than Hercules and has about the same amount of hot chicks in bikini outfits as Xena. If youre a Conan fan, this is a must - but a must with tongue in cheek. The effects are cheesy, but the stories are fun. Ralph is massive and makes an impressive Conan. The sidekicks remind me of the Conan comics from the late 80s.

Keep Watching
rating: 4
Having just watched this for the second time I have to say that it does get better with repeated viewing, simply because it's one of those shows that the actors seem to care about.
Has it got fantasic special effects? No. Is it acting of the highest standard? No. Is it great fun? Yes.
Watch it and remember a more simple time.

Ralph Moeller is the man!!
rating: 5
This is an amazing collection of the action packed series conan! Great actors (Ally Dunne alone makes this worth the cost)!
The only downside is that a few episodes from the original series may be missing. However, this DVD collection is rare and well worth the cost.
I give this a five star rating!
It is good to see Ralph Moeller in a leading role as a hero!

Very entertaining Sword & Sorcery series
rating: 5
Of course, this isn't real Conan, but the series was made also for 13-year olds. The result is a very entertaining Sword & Sorcery series in the tradition of Hercules, Xena, Robin Hood or Sinbad.
The action is great, the landscapes beautiful and some of the typical fantasy-stereotypes often make you laugh.
One more thing: In every episode you can expect a new beautiful lady to appear!

Heart of the Elephant
rating: 5
Short of reading the miniseries by Marvel....
This is the best "adaptation" of the "Heart of the Elephant" that you will find...
AND.....
"Heart of the Elephant".....is....what "sword and sorcery" stories..are all about.
'nuff said.....buy it.
