Conans response to the Mongol General is an abbreviation of a real quote attributed to Genghis Khan: "The greatest pleasure is to vanquish your enemies and chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth and see those dear to them bathed in tears, to ride their horses and clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters." Subotai (or Subedei Baghadur) was the name of Great Khans general. The fact that Conan is not only chased but to some extent orphaned by dogs also recalls Genghis Khans well-documented fear of that particular animal. Finally, the writers preoccupation with steel seems oddly coincidental, given that Genghis Khans birth name, Temujin, is frequently translated as "finest steel."
d.

would be quoted as saying, "I never directed a film called "Teenage Cave Man".
