‘Stranger Things’ Gave Hopper ‘Conan the Barbarian’s Sword for His DnD Combat Moment

Swinging from one production to another

Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for Stranger Things Season 4.

‘Stranger Things’ Gave Hopper ‘Conan the Barbarian’s Sword, David Harbour who plays David, revealed on Monday that the original prop sword that Arnold Schwarzene used in the movies Conan the Barbarian (1982) and Conan the Destroyer (1984) made an appearance in the conclusion of the fourth season of Stranger Things.

Hopper one of the stars of the hit Netflix series Stranger Things revealed on his personal Instagram account that the fourth season of the show recycled a prop from an unexpected source: the classic Conan films from the 1980s, which were led by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Because of this, we can immediately begin writing our fan fiction about Jim Hopper (Harbour) being a distant descendant of Conan because they both wielded the same sword.

The fourth season of Stranger Things featured a gladiatorial arena set up inside a Soviet prison. In this arena, prisoners were forced to fight against an elite monster from the Upside Down known as a Demogorgon. During the time that the Soviet regime spent studying the Demorgongon and attempting to weaponize it, these bloody battles were staged in order to keep the guards entertained and to keep the creature occupied.

Therefore, rather than having a fight that was fair, the prisoners were only allowed to use melee weapons, such as a sword that seemed very fishy. Harbour came to the conclusion that it was time to explain where the Demogorgon came from once the series finale was made available on Netflix and everyone had a chance to watch Jim defeat the Demogorgon with the unique sword.

As Harbour explains it:

“Nerd alert. The Atlantean sword from the “CONAN” movie franchise appears as a prop at the very end of Episode 9. A kind supporter discovered a still from when it was established in episode 7 and used by an unfortunate inmate who met an untimely death near the cells that are located on the side of our gladiatorial pit.

The real thrill of this, however, is that the sword that the amazing ‘ST’ props department (please reveal yourselves so that I can give credit where credit is due) gave to me is THE ACTUAL SWORD that was utilized during the production of both of the CONAN movies. It was difficult as all get out to manipulate, but doing so was an incredible privilege. Arnold Schwarzenegger, I am prepared to take into consideration the feedback you provide regarding my style.’’

Both the 1981 film Conan the Barbarian and the 1984 film Conan the Destroyer, were both based on the classic character created by Robert E. Howard and originating in pulp stories featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger wielding the Atlantean sword. It’s interesting to note that the replica sword that Arnold Schwarzenegger used in one of his movies was of such high quality that it survived the years and was used in one of Netflix’s most popular shows. In an exclusive interview with Collider, we can watch the video given below:

With the release of Season 4 on Netflix, Stranger Things once again demonstrated that it is an unstoppable media phenomenon, with fans having already consumed more than one billion hours of the show. Therefore, it is not surprising that Netflix has reached an agreement with the creators’ Matt and Ross Duffer (also known as The Duffer Brothers) to direct multiple television projects in the near future.

These projects will include a live-action adaptation of the Death Note series as well as an adaptation of The Tasliman, a novel written by Stephen King and Peter Straub in 1984. There is also a plan for Stranger Things spinoffs that are currently being discussed, which ensures that Hawkins will continue to play an important role in our lives for a considerable amount of time.
