Would you bet that these could have inspired John Milius?

I'm sure that Ron Cobb knew this when he designed Conan.

Ron Cobb's production designs have always been absolutely peerless, and his work on CTB is a landmark achievement IMO.  As much as I enjoyed Jackson's LOTR films (with some reservations), it was a huge disappointment to hear some of the production team disparage Conan on the extended edition extras. I assume it came from a place of ignorance, because CTB is simply as good as it gets in big budget filmmaking.

I love the '82 film almost as much as Howard's works and despite my love for Howard's works. It's a stunning film on so many levels, and in so many areas. Almost time for a re watch.
