Conan the Destroyer [Blu-ray] Reviews

Two years after John Milius’ brutal epic Conan the Barbarian and just before Arnold Schwarzenegger would be reinvented onscreen as The Terminator, producer Dino De Laurentiis went back to the well to make a Conan sequel with his lead actor.  The idea this time was to tone down the violence and bring up more of the humor, working with a lower budget and making more of a romp than was seen in Milius’ film.  As a result, the movie isn’t that memorable.  But if you’re a fan of Schwarzenegger in the role, it’s an agreeable ride.  The new Blu-ray release provides solid picture and sound, but almost nothing in the way of extras.
