| Review Summary |
Conan is a dumb. big-muscled barbarian. He and his thief-friend Malak are offered a job escorting a queen's fair daughter on a quest to recover the sacred horn of a dream god. The evil queen tells Conan that she will resurrect Conan's girlfriend if he is successful. Unaware that the queen has instructed her guard captain to slay Conan & Malak once the horn is found, Conan, Malek and the guard captain set off with the queen's daughter to recover the horn. After facing down evil sorcerers, hordes of soldiers, and betrayal, they find that, with the horn, the dream god will really be a nightmare and that the evil queen plots to sacrifice her daughter, and both must be stopped.

Conan returns in a sequel in which he locks wits with an evil queen who promises she can raise his dead lover. He agrees to rescue a princess (Olivia D'Abo) and a magical crystal from a sorceror and return it to the queen (Sarah Douglas). Along the way Conan will encounter Bombaata (Wilt Chamberlain) and Dagoth (Andre the Giant) and in his quest it becomes difficult to tell friend from foe.

Our hero, still pining for his lost love, is offerred by a nefarious witch-queen to have her brought back to life if he escorts a young girl to get a treasure. Along the way he is joined by a thief, warrior, wild woman, and wizard. Much lighter, more fun that the first movie.
