unlabelledView post →Tonight I watched the new Red Sonja film. Then I went back and watched the 1985 Red Sonja for the first time. Then I realised I had never watched Conan The Destroyer, so I watched that too. Quite an evening of bad to mediocre films, I'm sure you will agree. 😅
unlabelledView post →Conan the Destroyer (1984). The original is one of my favorite movies, but I cannot harden my heart against the very silly sequel, because any movie with Grace Jones killing people with a fighting staff is a friend of mine.

unlabelledView post →425.) Conan the Destroyer (1985) Watched with Red (@fm-synth.bsky.social) & friends. No idea why people unfairly malign this movie. Sure, it's a more light-hearted sequel but the scale and spirit of a good sword-and-sorcery story shines through. Grace Jones as an amazon is pitch perfect casting.
unlabelledView post →Started in on my once-every-couple-of-years watch of “Conan the Destroyer”. A favorite since I was a kid, when it was standard fare for my local TV station’s Saturday matinee. And what a cast alongside a newly-known Arnold: Grace Jones, Wilt Chamberlain, and Mako among others.

unlabelledView post →Hot take: @tmdean.bsky.social grew up insisting that Conan the Destroyer was the better of the two Conan movies–it's definitely a sillier take (odd for a movie driven by Conan's grief), with fun performances by Grace Jones, Wilt Chamberlain, and a very sexy statue!
unlabelledView post →I've had this argument with myself, and part of me wants the answer to be Blade Runner, but it just *is* Conan. It can't be otherwise. If you listen to the soundtrack to Conan: The Barbarian and Conan: The Destroyer back to back, you can hear that the second movie was PG-13. HOW!?!?

unlabelledView post →Drunk on our viewing of the slightly ponderous and worthy Conan the Barbarian, we watched Conan the Destroyer last night. Look, I know it’s a ridiculous film, but it was markedly more enjoyable than the first movie. Both movies highlight just how good the script for the recent Dungeons & Dragons is.
unlabelledView post →Found some of William Stout's concept art for CONAN THE DESTROYER which suggests a weirder, hornier and...okay, a lot more problematic movie than we got.
unlabelledView post →The one career decision Oliver Stone called a "mistake" [the sale of his Conan the Barbarian script]. > The movie had been in the works for quite some time when it was finally released in 1982. It took inspiration from the character of the same name created by Robert E. Howard, and it became an epic explosion of masculinity, fighting and getting the girl. It was pure indulgence, with Arnold Schwarzenegger bagging the leading role. John Millius, who’d written Dirty Harry, was given the job of…
unlabelledView post →The problem with Conan The Destroyer (and Red Sonja) is that folks compare it to Conan The Barbarian. But if you compare it to virtually every fantasy movie that isn’t CTB, it holds up extremely well.
unlabelledView post →Watched Conan the Destroyer last night as I wanted something cozy but also that I hadn't seen in ages and was surprised at how well it stands up. Of course it's not the original but it's also not the cheap shitty fantasy movie I remembered it being. I may have to add this to The List.

unlabelledView post →i am watching “Conan The Destroyer” (1984) and it is so much worse than the first Conan film but with a lot of elements that are just a little shittier in subtle ways. so i looked it up, and yeah, entirely different people trying to do the same look and feel rather than allowed to do their own thing
unlabelledView post →Grace Jones' dominance during the 1980s wasn't limited to music: she also had significant roles in the films "Conan the Destroyer," "A View to a Kill," and "Siesta," among others... ...which brings me to "Boomerang." youtu.be/gCprWDW7bgA?... = IMO, she is the best part of this movie lmao!!!!!!

unlabelledView post →Watching Conan the Destroyer (1984). Another unexpected delight, with highlights in this order: 1. Grace Jones. 2. The score. 3. Filming locations. 4. Just a generally solid party-of-adventurer-thieves fantasy movie.
unlabelledView post →Now *this* is why we loved Conan comics! In 1980, Roy Thomas (baby and bathwater) gave us a 75c Conan movie right here - battling wizards, resurrecting Belit, and Red Sonja. Spinner rack treasure And the 1984 Conan the Destroyer movie, that Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway wrote, pulls from it.

unlabelledView post →You know someone is going to photoshop Zohran's face onto an old 'Conan the Destroyer' movie poster, print that on t-shirts, and make a mint.
unlabelledView post →Also like CONAN THE DESTROYER not a great film (I’ll defend BARBARIAN to the death) but you’ve still got all these old Hollywood guys kicking around who could just do the fucking thing, cinematography here is by the same guy who did fucking BLACK NARCISSUS and THE AFRICAN QUEEN
unlabelledView post →I have CONAN THE DESTROYER on while I draw and holy shit, Jack Cardiff shot this movie? THE RED SHOES, it ain’t.
unlabelledView post →Watching CONAN: THE DESTROYER. You can tell this was written by two comic book guys, because it's very episodic. By no means the worst thing I've ever seen, but it's such a BAFFLING step down in quality from the John Millius directed CONAN: THE BARBARIAN, which is a just INCREDIBLE film.

unlabelledView post →Film #126 for 2025 is Conan the Destroyer (1984). Like the original, it's better than its reputation suggests - imaginative, with fun set-pieces. Arnie is a better performer this time. But it's just a little cheaper and shabbier than the original in every other way.
unlabelledView post →LOLOL Honestly, the second movie in this is better than Conan the Destroyer though #HorrorWatch
unlabelledView post →Conan the Destroyer isn’t a great movie like the original, but the evil god creature design is pretty great.
unlabelledView post →Conan the Destroyer was the most unintentionally funny movie I’ve ever seen.

unlabelledView post →I’m watching Conan the Destroyer, the legendary fantasy epic starring Wilt Chamberlain. This was my favorite movie as a child, before VCRs when you just had to hope to catch it on TV, and it was awesome when you did. It’s brilliant and has aged very well.
unlabelledView post →Conan the Destroyer has many many problems as a movie, but it also has Grace Jones being a scary badass so it's impossible to say it's bad
unlabelledView post →I loved the movie Conan the Barbarian since first seeing it as a child. I did not like Conan the Destroyer at all... I have not watched the latter in probably 35 years. Is it time to give it another chance? 🤔
unlabelledView post →A talented artist should combine Zohran Mamdani's campaign photo and the movie posters for "Conan the Destroyer" and "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" to produce a "Zohran the Destroyer" meme image.
unlabelledView post →Why do you like it better than Conan The Destroyer? I mean, other than James Earl Jones being in Barbarian. Is Red Sonya considered a Conan movie?
unlabelledView post →CONAN THE DESTROYER is a deeply goofy movie and a huge step down from CONAN THE BARBARIAN, but I can't say that I HATE it, because it still looks pretty good. The costuming and production design are still pretty great, even if everything else feels like a Roger Corman Sword&Sorcery movie.
unlabelledView post →seriously love it, Conan the Destroyer is a legit banging film too but weirdly hard to find in the UK
unlabelledView post →I enjoy that movie. Conan the Destroyer isn't as good its predecessor, but still worth watching.
unlabelledView post →Watched #ConanTheDestroyer 🎬 Not as iconic as the first, but still a decent fantasy adventure, helped by some great sets, music, and characters. A good setup too for the upcoming, very late third entry, in which Arnold will play King Conan. #filmsky
unlabelledView post →Also, don1t sleep on the soundtrack of Conan the Destroyer. The movie itself is usually dismissed, but its soundtrack is still on par with the first movie.
unlabelledView post →Oh would you look at that...it's my outline for a rewrite of the spectacularly pathetic Conan the Destroyer film...complete with things like actual themes relevant to the characters...would be pretty cool if some mad lad funded this and revitalized the property's popular image...
