Conan The Destroyer: Arnold Schwarzenegger's PG-Rated Barbarian

Join us on Fantasizing About Fantasy Films as we reexamine the divisive 1984 sequel, Conan the Destroyer! This attempt to soften Arnold Schwarzenegger's barbarian into a PG-rated fantasy hero may not have achieved the same success as The Terminator, but it's not without its merits. Discover the eccentric supporting cast, including basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain, Superman's Sarah Douglas, Tracey Walter, Mako, Olivia D’Abo, Grace Jones, and even Andre the Giant under loads of latex. Plus, enjoy a compelling score by Basil Pouledouris, despite some recycled elements from the first film, and excellent cinematography by DP Jack Cardiff. While many hardcore fans prefer the darker, R-rated original, Conan the Barbarian, let's explore the hidden gems within Conan the Destroyer. Was it really as bad as its reputation suggests? Would Robert E. Howard approve? Share your thoughts in the comments!
