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
Have some silly fun
Queen Taramis (Sarah Douglas) offers Conan the barbarian (Arnold Schwarzenegger) to bring back his love Valeria back from the dead. Conan and his sidekick Malak (Tracey Walter) is to escort Taramis' virgin niece Jehnna (Olivia d'Abo) to find a key and a jewel horn. Her bodyguard Bombaata (Wilt Chamberlain) accompanies them but Taramis tells him to double-cross Conan. On the way, Conan saves wizard Akiro (Mako) and Zula (Grace Jones) and they join the ragtag band of travelers.
It's sillier than the first movie. Its saving grace is that it's fun as long as you don't take it seriously. I think the dialog actually got more clunky. There is certainly nothing quite like this. Grace Jones looks crazy awesome. Mako and Tracey Walter are making jokes. Wilt Chamberlain is actually acting. At least he's not much worst than Arnie. Olivia d'Abo looks really pretty. This is one crazy group.
