7 Provocative 70s Fantasy Movies Made Before Conan

Before Conan the Barbarian changed fantasy cinema forever, filmmakers were already mixing swords, sorcery, mythical creatures, strange worlds — and a surprising amount of adult material. In this video, I dug through the provocative side of 70s and early 80s fantasy cinema to find seven movies that show just how wild the genre could get before Conan arrived in 1982. From erotic European fantasy and ancient mythology to dark magic, monsters, legendary warriors, and some surprisingly revealing moments, these films come from an era when fantasy had fewer rules. Movies featured in this video: Malpertuis (1971) The Long Swift Sword of Siegfried (1971) Arabian Nights (1974) Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977) Circle of Iron (1978) Excalibur (1981) Clash of the Titans (1981) Which one surprised you the most? And what forgotten fantasy movie from this era should I dig up next?
