This must have been filmed very quickly after the first film. Both Grace Jones and Arnold have got almost nothing to say, the lines seem to have been passed to those who could speak them more clearly. Despite being a sequal theres no real continuity with the first movie other than its still Arnold playing Conan and that clearly a little bit of time has passed since the end of the first movie.
Basically the plot is this:- Conan doing a favour to try & retrieve a magical gem and get his lover brought back to life which devolves into a rescue movie as only 1 person can touch the gem and Conan has to get her back from the evil wizard who actually has the magical gem they've gone to steal which is rather handy as it kills 2 birds with 1 stone.
The film recycles music from the original (the stuff used during the snake cult which is reused during the sacrifice scene) and quite a lot of the queens castle looks a lot like stuff from Krull. The film is basically just about moving from one very thin plot device to a fight to another thin plot device to another fight and so on and so forth.
I still don't understand why Conan 3 wasn't made quickly after number 2, was Arnold cast for Terminator shortly after this?
