Following CONAN THE BARBARIAN, Arnold Schwarzenegger returns as Robert E. Howard's warrior hero in action director Richard Fleischer's CONAN THE DESTROYER. First seen praying at a shrine, Conan and his sidekick, Malak (Tracey Walter), are inveigled by Queen Taramis (Sarah Douglas) into joining Princess Jehnna (Olivia d'Abo) and her bodyguard, Bombaata (Wilt Chamberlain), on a quest to wrest a magic key from the wizard Toth-Amon (Pat Roach). On the journey, Conan saves his magician friend, Akiro (Mako), from cannibals and helps female bandit Zula (Grace Jones) as she fights off some angry villagers. The motley crew find Toth-Amon's castle in the middle of a lake. But, while they rest for the night before confronting the wizard, he spirits away Princess Jehnna. Conan leads the rescue.
Compared to the first Conan movie, CONAN THE DESTROYER has less violence but more humour. The film's stunt casting includes the 7-foot-tall basketball player Wilt Chamberlain and pneumatic singer Grace Jones. Other actors featured are the 17-year-old Olivia d'Abo (in her first screen appearance), playing the petulant teenage princess with sexy innocence; Tracey Walter as the cowardly jewel-swallowing thief, Malak the Quick; and, of course, Schwarzenegger, who put on 10 extra pounds at Fleischer's request, as the pectorally-perfect Conan.

Okay-ish, but nothing really outstanding
It was OK.....think Tracey Walter was a bit too daft for the film.
Also think they could have made more of Pat Roach's role.

Well, maybe not worthy of 5 stars but this was another one of those trips down memory lane.
Funny action sequences that were cool at the time, a fine... read more »

For many fans of Robert E Howard's fantasy novels the figure of Conan the Barbarian will be forever obscured by the spectre of one-time Austrian bodybuilder now Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger. For Howard purists the Dino De Laurentiis-produced Conan The Barbarian and Conan The Destroyer proved a little less than faithful to the origins of their Hyperborean Age hero. However, it's unlikely that De Laurentiis' Conans would be viewed with the same degree of scorn reserved for the... Read more
