Conan the Destroyer
Might as well be Conan the Babysitter. This sad sequel (rated PG, no less), drops the gritty edge and wanton bloodlust of the original Conan the Barbarian in favor of a kid-friendly adventure that has him rescuing a princess (Olivia d'Abo in her screen debut), with Mako, Grace Jones, and Wilt Chamberlain all along for the ride. Schwarzenegger becomes a jibbering nitwit as well. Just awful. Even Red Sonja is better.
