Review of Conan the Destroyer (1984) by Michael T — 29 Jun 2008
This film is not as dark and brooding as the first film (probably because the script wasn't originally written by Oliver Stone and then heavily rewritten by John Milius!). The film is more fun and Schwarzenegger is more at ease.
The film is pretty silly, with Wilt Chamberlain and Grace Jones in the cast. The film didn't do well at the box office but did reasonably well on the home video and cable TV markets, but the Governator never again lifted Conan's sword or wore his mullett.
The same year that this came out, THE TERMINATOR was a huge box office success and Schwarzenegger was soon wielding an Uzi instead of a sword in all his action films.
