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.
