The fabulous Arnold Schwarzenegger, actor, author, seven times Mr. Olympia and five times Mr. Universe, is back for the further adventures of Conan, the warrior king. And this time he's joined by a large cast that includes Grace Jones and Wilt Chamberlain. In this second Conan epic, he is asked by the evil Queen Taramis to accompany a beautiful young princess to find a magic treasure. If he returns with the treasure and the virgin, the Queen promises to bring Conan's beloved Valeria back from the dead. But little does he know that she plans to kill them both, or that the return of the treasure will mean the extinction of mankind. In the words of People magazine, "...the action is large-scale, the plot suitably fantastic, and the climax, a fight to the death between Conan and a god brought back to life (the monster was designed by E.T. creator Carlo Rambaldi), is slam-bang."

Critics Consensus: Conan the Destroyer softens the edges that gave its predecessor gravitas, resulting in a campy sequel without the comparative thrills.

Reviews

Common Sense Media

Brian Costello

Conan the Destroyer has all the hallmarks of a bad '80s fantasy movie -- cheesy special effects, unintentionally funny dialogue, and sets that look like they were left over from bad heavy metal music videos.

Insubstantial... lightweight, but mindlessly entertaining.

Richard Fleischer's directing is as limp as the film's relentless attempts at comedy.

The special effects haven't improved and the sincerity of the adventures have swung too far in the opposite direction, resulting in a sequel that is just as flawed.

This sequel was roundly trashed, but it's no worse than its predecessor, since its campy components at least take the edge off the tedious proceedings.
