DVD Reviews of Conan: The Adventurer - (Complete Series)
DVD Review: What they didn't tell us
Summary: 1 Stars
There was no information on this DVD at AMAZON (although I believed it was the TV series I had once started to watch)so I turned to the web. Here is Barbarian Keep's writeup on the series:
Conan the Adventurer is a live action television show that premiered in the U.S. on September 22nd, 1997. The Conan television series initially cleared in fifteen countries and 85% of the U.S. market. The show was distributed by Western International Syndication, and was produced by Keller Entertainment, the same production company responsible for the low quality series Tarzan: The epic Adventures and Alcapulco Heat.
Conan the Adventurer was a weekly one hour action-adventure series that ran for 22 episodes. Actual production of the show began in June of 1997, and the two hour pilot was filmed in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico. The series was taped on location in Mexico.
The role of Conan was played by Ralf Moeller (AKA Rolf Muller), two time Mr. Universe, a native of Germany, and friend to Arnold Schwarzenegger. The rest of the ensemble cast included Danny Woodburn (Otli), Robert McRay (Zzeben), T.J. Storm (Bayu), Aly Dunne (Karela), and briefly, Andrew Craig (Vulkar).
The dismal script for the 2 hour pilot was written by Steve Hayes, the head of Project Development for the series. The show was not promoted to be "authentic Conan", but rather a mixture of Arnold Schwarzenegger's and John Milius' interpretation of Conan, but they couldn't even get this right. The writers and directors for the TV series were/are some of the worst in the business. So that these writers and directors recieve proper "credit," a listing of their names and the wretched episodes in which they participated follows:
EPISODE Writer / Director
RED SONYA Scott Thomas & Charles Henry Fabian / Mark Roper
THE CHILD Dennis Richards & Charles Henry Fabian / Frank Wayne
SHADOWS OF DEATH Scott Thomas & Charles Henry Fabian / Mark Roper
CRYSTAL ARROW Scott Thomas & Charles Henry Fabian / Mark Roper
RUBY FRUIT FOREST Harry Ackerman & Charles Henry Fabian / Rob Stewart
HEART OF THE ELEPHANT I&II Dennis Richard & Charles Henry Fabian
LAIR OF THE BEASTMEN Dennis Richard & Charles Henry Fabian
SIEGE OF AHL SOHN-BAR Teagan Clive and Charles Henry Fabian / Rob Stewart
A FRIEND IN NEED Scott Thomas and Charles Henry Fabian / Frank Wayne
THREE VIRGINS John Bull and Charles Henry Fabian / Mark Roper
HOMECOMING Scott Thomas and Charles Henry Fabian / Rob Stewart
THE TAMING Molly Glenmore and Charles Henry Fabian / Rob Stewart
THE CAVERN Peter Collins & Charles Henry Fabian
THE ANTIDOTE Peter Collins & Charles Henry Fabian
In it's first season, Conan the Adventurer recieved a dismal 1.7 Nielson Rating primarily because of low production values, bad directing and terrible writing. This show was far worse than its animated counterpart (also named Conan the Adventurer) which was produced back in 1991.
