Junkfood Cinema: 'Conan the Destroyer' is More Dumbarian Than Barbarian
Wel-Crom to Junkfood Cinema. We condone the camel punch, but only if it’s being an ass. Only a metaphorical ass, though, don’t punch a camel that is biologically an ass because that would be rare for science; and don’t punch the ass of a biological camel because that’s just not nice (unless it’s the ownership of a camel enslaving an ass, then by all means help abolish that)…and don’t stick your ass in the punch being drunk by camels, because it could give the camel pink-eye.
Yes, we know we let suspect pictures containing very little health benefits drown us in their half-nakedness and drag us through the dirt like a barbarian here in this column, but we like it rough and prefer our movies to treat us like ragdolls from time to time because after we’ve mended the scrapes and burns we have ourselves a little snack reminding us of our experience because you should never forget when you’ve been triumphed in life.
Today we visit one of the greatest sequels ever released in June 1984 and Schwarzenegger’s best film of that year’s first 9 months. Sit back, chug some mead and let us tell you about the days of high adventure in Conan the Destroyer
The person I would probably consider the main villain (a sorceress) devises a plan to employ Conan to bodyguard her adult-aged niece to obtain an historical artifact that legend has it will bring back a God from the dead to rule the Earth. Bringing back Gods rarely works out positively. If they can’t come back themselves then you probably shouldn’t try and help.
She does have a relatively good idea to employ Conan for her niece’s protection, but there’s just one issue…her niece was born with a vagina and that vagina needs to remain un-Conan’ed upon their return so that she can be sacrificed as a virgin. What’s her plan to keep Conan out of her niece? Wilt Chamberlin. I guess if you can’t find bigger, then just get taller.
To her credit it all works out fine because Conan has elevated class stature since the last film from Barbarian to Destroyer, making him more of a gentleman. But still, why get the assistance of someone who’s had the two last names “the Barbarian” and “the Destroyer” if your niece is supposed to keep her virginity? Neither of those words have ever been good for hymens.

It's actually a rather fun picture. The sequence with the centuries old wizard in the ice castle I think is mostly well-staged and is a pretty good fight scene between Conan and the illusionary monster figure. And, although I gave the Wizard a lot of

Dventurers are a cut above the commoners inhabiting the world—they have talent, specialized training, and access to magic that makes them akin to gods among mortals. Well, maybe not that far, but heroes are something special. Who else can beard the dragon in its lair? Who else can survive a trap-laden gauntlet to root out the goblin bandits lurking in the cavern beyond? Who else can put down zombies by the dozens?
The thing is, for all that heroes can accomplish beyond most peoples' wildest imagining, adventurers need the common people. Non-adventuring men and women do the things that heroes are unable or unwilling to do. What good is a knight without the suit of armor someone else made? How is the paladin going to survive his or her quest without a sword in hand? Horses? Someone has to breed them and train them. And when the adventure is done, when the heroes return, burdened with their spoils, they're bound to be craving a hot meal and warm bed that only the sleepy little communities on the frontier can provide. The mundane tasks fall to the ordinary people to handle, and without those people, there's little point to squaring off against monsters and plundering their vaults.
Commoners are content to leave the adventuring business to the professionals. They happily take their coins and provide services in return. They listen to the tales of high adventure, danger, and daring, living through the stories the adventurers tell, but they are also relieved to go about their lives without having to follow in those people's steps or face those same challenges.
That said, with the right motivation, these common people might be coaxed from relative safety into a wider world of adventure, accompanying the heroes on their quests and lending aid, albeit in minor ways, to help the heroes accomplish their goals. These companions are the henchmen, the lackeys, the hirelings, and the servants. For the right price, they can lend their unique talents to an adventurer's cause.
