Everything that could of been good about it they bumbled in some way. Somewhere along the way they just missed the point of Conan, every time it started to get decent  they decided to throw in a joke or some award winning Arnold acting and the whole thing became a mess.The movie wasn't Howard the Duck bad but it wasn't really any good either. Mute it and fast forward between fight scenes and it is pretty decent. Hey if you can get both of them for $19 then just call it getting Destroyer for free, it's not like you would pay any less for just the first one, call it a free gift or a drink coaster or a Christmas gift for that cousin you never liked. It's not like they were packaging Red Sonya with it.Some interesting trivia I read at the internet movie database while looking up the writers and directors.Conan the Barbarian:"The Mattel Toy Company started to make some Conan action figures, but after viewing the film, the executives realized that they couldn't afford to be associated with a film with such graphic sex and violence. They gave their doll blonde hair, called him "He-man", and thus created He-Man and the Masters of the Universe."Conan the Destroyer:Some scenes were filmed in the same location and at the same time as scenes from Dune (1984).Cameo: [Andre the Giant] the resurrected horned giant.(Oh yea the story credits on Conan the Destroyer were Gerry Conway, Roy Thomas and Stanley Mann)</blockquote>
