Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe production had a hard time finding a horse for Wilt Chamberlain to ride because he was so tall that his feet touched the ground. They ultimately found one in Spain that was big enough and imported it to Mexico.
- Goofs(at around 1h 8 mins) Just after Akiro reads the legend on the wall of the crypt regarding the woman-child with a certain mark, we are treated to a view of the mark that makes Jehnna so special on the swell of her left breast (a pink star shaped mark). However, earlier in the movie (at around 45 mins), when Jehnna first awakens in the castle of Toth-Amon as well as the scene a few minutes after this when she lifts the jewel/key from its place, this same area of her chest is perfectly visible but the mark is not there.
- Quotes
Princess Jehnna: I suppose nothing hurts you.
Conan: Only pain.
- Alternate versionsThe film was cut for an 'All' (all audiences) rating by the Korean censors for cinema and video exhibition in South Korea in 1986 to reduce all of the violence sequences. It remained cut for 15 years. In 2001, the film made its debut on DVD with all the censored footage put back in with an uncut '15' (under 15s require an adult) rating.

Featured review
I have been captivated by Conan's heroic fantasy world for many years. For this reason alone I am rating this film as 6/10. Do not expect a continuation of the first Conan film. 'Conan The Destroyer' is too light in its scope and Conan is not the same man anymore. The villains are also not as menacing.
Having said that it was good to see Grace Jones and Sarah Douglas and also Conan's companions had good lines and were very funny at times.
As a side note I found the adjective 'Destroyer' in the title quite misleading and unfortunate. For those of us that read the Conan novels we see Conan driven by his own motivations, and fighting his battles only if he had to and not for the sake of destroying. The film distributors could have picked something else to promote the movie.
