Thanks!  Yeah, I have been all over the map, and finally settled on this scene for my next piece.

Love the way Thulsa Doom lets out "I GAVE YOU THIS!"

After compelling one of his followers to leap to her Death, just so he could prove to Conan the Power he held over them, as well as having another fatally stab himself - though that scene was cut, there's a hint of it when you see the white hood in his hand.  

Which to me was one of the Key Highlights as to just how LITTLE value Doom placed on his followers, even the ones that had some importance to him.  

The next big one being during the Orgy Scene, when he Scaled Up (my favourite scene) slithered out of his robes and through a small escape tunnel, abandoning the Princess Yasimina to be stolen from him, all to save his own scaly hide - even though she was his means of legally securing the Zamorian Throne as she was Next in Line.  

Then trying to Kill Yasimina when his troops were wiped out rather than let her be taken.  Also the moment when she finally realised that, in the end, she meant Nothing to Doom.  Small wonder she betrayed him later.  

Yeah, I guess I really read deep into that part.

The Orgy was my favorite scene, too!  Scaling Up and all!

(Too bad Daphne Zuniga was, like, 16 and all...)

Daphne Zuniga?  The Princess Yasimina was played by Valerie Quennessen (1957-1989).

Yes, I just looked it up.  Silly me.
