According to Sammon, it became the standard against which sword and sorcery films were measured until the debut of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in 2001; several contemporary films of the same genre were judged by critics to be clones of Conan, such as The Beastmaster (1982).
Segundo Sammon, converteuse no estándar co que se mediron os filmes de espada e bruxaría ata a estrea de The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring de Peter Jackson en 2001; varios filmes contemporáneos do mesmo xénero foron xulgados polos críticos como clons de Conan, como The Beastmaster (1982).
