if conan the destroyer is released to then i'll cancel my french steel and go for UK ones. i do like the artwork but i want a complete set.

way better than the double one coming out in France

 

[Revolver31]

I will pass on this for sure don't like the artwork but even so imo it should only be £10.99 tops.

Just waiting the Amazon UK release.

Love it! nice to see its not a aZavvi exclusive and therefore available for a more reasonable price.

the sequel was a crappy film with poor effects than the original.i wished they wouldnt spoil by adding it with the barbarian if released in steel.if the sequel too released in steel separetely,it wouldnt sell half of the 1st movie

the 1st barbarin had a unearthly heroic score by guess basil polereus.

Unfortunately I didn't see the original back in the day and when I finally saw it 20 years later I found it horribly cheesy, aside from a good line or two. It's a pity I don't care for this movie, as Arnold is perfect for the role, and this steelbook artwork is SPECTACULAR! Makes me almost want to buy just for the artwork

This will def. be one I'll be getting as I grew up watching the film (my dad loved it) it's part of my childhood

Why is it I look at this artwork and think 'He-Man'?

;E

Maybe its because of the huge man nipples

Gorgeous artwork all around. Although it is a bit strange how "un-Arnold" the front and back are. You can barely even tell it's him.

Also, gloss would do this one very well. Matte will dull those bright colors and rob it blind of its luster.

Other than the "Who the hell is that?" thought that comes to mind for the front/back, it still looks mighty sexy.

I will probably be getting this.

More Arnold steelbooks, never a bad thing...but the inside artwork made me chuckle as I cant see that anymore without thinking of this....

Can a Frank Frazetta fan verify this - that art being used - is it me or is the female depicted actually Red Sonja?

if so - artwork research fail

 

[Bluprint]

For some reason I prefer Arnold movies in Steelbook form to have Schwarzenegger on the front cover above the title of the film.

I'm getting real quirky of late about Steel-Tatse but this is pure awesomeness that will be hard to pass up.

 

[Buddusky]

Another great Arnie steelbook for the collection

oh wait seems the steel art is not by Frank Frazetta - wonder who it is - looks pretty familiar tho

It's by Renato Casaro and was used on the UK VHS releases.
