No we're talking original props versus original props. Conan the Barbarian versus Conan the Destroyer. But since Albion's are the most accurate replicas, I was seeking some of their photos to show the comparisons between the two Atlanteans.
I can tell you right now the Conan movie won't be awesome. Clash of the Titans was one of the best movies you could have pre-compared it to. It's going to have awful pacing, underwhelming writing, no heart, no atmosphere, and a score that doesn't measure up one one-millionth to the original's. <--- Based on what I've seen time and time again with Hollywood's current state, you can bet your sweet behind they're going to fall flat on the score. They always fall flat on the score. And like I said. If it won't be better in every way possible, don't do it. So they'd damn well better top Basil's soundtrack and I highly highly doubt that will happen. Not gonna say it's impossible... just as close as you can get.
Of course, if the movie is worthy I'd love for them to use his score and 'remaster' it a bit. However, I don't want the score in a P.O.S. film, so...
On the bright side, Momoa (sp?) looks like a book-accurate Conan. And the biggest thing this has going for it so far is Stephen Lang as the villain. But I'm not counting on it being decent.
Anyway back to Highlander. The only Scot you see with a katana is Connor but he mainly uses it in the modern-day sequences. Well, unless you count Ramirez but it makes sense that he has it. You'll see.
But just watch the first one. DO NOT watch the second. It's awful. It doesn't work well with the first at all. As they say, There Can Be Only One.
