Conan the Destroyer

★★☆☆☆

The first Conan movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger was very good and holds up well almost three decades later. This one was almost self-parody.

Shortly before starting the film, I looked at the envelope and wondered aloud, “How the heck did they manage to squeeze a PG rating out of Conan?” Simple: cut out the sex, and minimize the blood. And amp up the cheese. Biggest surprise, though? Olivia D’Abo as the princess.
