The film is very respectful, if not strictly of the Kull cycle, at least of the spirit of Robert E. Howard’s fantasy. It has its strong points: a fairly convincing plot, special effects done as Valka commands, and a soundtrack capable of highlighting the most exciting moments with epic-style guitar rides.

The epic turns into farce! We could define this movie as the more 'commercial' and 'trash' sequel to Milius’s film. I warn the reader who hasn’t yet seen the film to prepare to see something immediately perceivable as trash, like an ‘American-style’ movie.

Richard Fleischer's 1984 sequel Conan the Destroyer follows Arnold Schwarzenegger's heroic adventures with a more commercial and farcical tone. While the epic feel of the original is diluted by comedic and burlesque scenes, the film remains enjoyable for fans thanks to its polished effects and strong soundtrack by Basil Poledouris. The acting, especially by Olivia D'Abo and supporting cast, is uneven, but the movie offers enough action and fantasy elements to entertain. Overall, it ranks as fun trash cinema with some redeeming qualities. Explore Conan the Destroyer and discover its unique blend of epic fantasy and cult trash charm!
What makes the film beautiful? First of all, Basil Poledouris' epic soundtrack, which remarkably underscores all phases of the film. This fantasy should also be rediscovered, the mythical fantasy of the '30s, which preceded every Tolkien and every Terry Brooks... By Crom!!
