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...
more...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.

Quick review of Conan The Destroyer (Wide Screen) (Collector's Edition) (Two Discs, Lobby Cards And Booklet)
Review of Conan The Destroyer (Wide Screen) (Collector's Edition) (+Cards) by marklisa2007

My favourite of the Conan series, this has a different actor playing Conans sidekick, this sidekick is much more of the coward and adds a rather interesting amount of humour to the film. Featuring Grace jones with her stick fighting which is worth a watch. This film features wizardry and sorcery, thievery great sword fighting and a fantastic beast for Conan to face off against at the finale of the film. From the monster who`s power was in mirrors to betrayal amongst Conans Companions.An impressive performance from Arnie as usual. But a must for all fantasy film buffs and action film buffs. Brill film.

Review of Conan The Destroyer (Wide Screen) (Collector's Edition) (+Cards) by JustJoe4Life

Advantages: Arnold Schwarzenegger's muscles
Disadvantages: Arnold Schwarzenegger's acting

...most action sequels, sequel to Conan The Barbarian. Non-sensical plot, over-the-top acting and dialogue my cat could predict make this inferior to the original and hardly a DVD worthy of 'collector's edition' status. (Who are these anonymous 'collectors' anyway?) But Arnold does do what he does best and growls and flexes his way through a script which he probably did not need to read. The first one at least had James Earl Jones in it ("I am your ... Read review

Complete waste of time
Review of Conan The Destroyer (Wide Screen) (Collector's Edition) (+Cards) by stanharris75b

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Rubbish film. Rubbish DVD

This film, in the words of Dickinson, looks as cheap as chips. The effects are really bad and cheesy, the acting is dreadful and the story is ridiculous. I would not recommend this film to anyone, it just isn't worth the money. It took me about a week on and off to watch, because I kept getting so bored. The only reason I finished it is because I always finish watching a film when I start, to give it a fair chance. Lots of films are sluggish ... Read review

Review of Conan The Destroyer (Wide Screen) (Collector's Edition) (+Cards) by idunastake

Advantages: arnie, good mvie
Disadvantages: dialogu

...when watching either of the Conan movies, or Kull for that matter, is that they are not Howard's evocative characters. They are completely different, and only keep the name to sell the movie. That said, Conan the Destroyer has nowhere near the impact or power of Conan the Barbarian. While that film opted for a dark, serious tone, this movie has a light, comedic feel to it, probably so it would sell to children. While the humor is pretty good at ... Read review
