Conan the Destroyer

Conan, now a successful warrior and accustomed to civilization, is tasked by the evil sorcerer Thoth-Amon to find and retrieve the magical "dream jewel" from the mountaintop temple of the goddess Man-Amon. He is aided by his loyal companions, but he must also contend with the ruthless Queen Togra, who has her own dark plans for the jewel.

Conan the Destroyer was a commercial success but received a mixed to negative critical reception. While praised by some for its action sequences and the charisma of Arnold Schwarzenegger, many critics found the plot to be formulaic and less compelling than its predecessor, with some pointing out the film's increased emphasis on fantasy elements over the grittier tone of the first movie.

• While Arnold Schwarzenegger maintains his imposing presence, the film suffers from a weaker script and less engaging plot.
• The action sequences are plentiful, but often overshadowed by the film's more fantastical and less grounded elements.
• A serviceable sequel that fails to recapture the magic of the original, despite a strong cast.

Google audience: Audiences generally found the film to be an entertaining, if somewhat generic, fantasy action flick. Many appreciated Arnold Schwarzenegger's return as Conan and the high-octane action, though some felt it was less memorable and more campy than the first movie.

Basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain, who was 7'1" tall, played the role of Bombatta, a warrior loyal to Queen Togra. His immense size made him an imposing figure in his fight scenes with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
