Shot as a hard-R by The Vikings director Richard Fleischer before being softened in the edit suite, this swords ‘n’ sorcery sequel lacks the sex, violence and frown lines of John Milius’ barbarian original.
indeed and quite sad. it still has some brutal scenes for being rated pg. would be nice to see an unrated version (if one exists).
shareThat's such a shame.
What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!
Perhaps if Schwarzenegger does do King (or Legend of) Conan, then they will release the violent and sexier 'R' scenes that were cut.
shareWell if they make another Conan movie, Conan better be female, or gay. Wouldn't hurt if he was also deaf and very body-postively overweight. Then there will finally be a Conan movie worth watching.
What is best in life?
"To deescalate situations, to accept stunningly brave transgenders, and to say complements about strong, independent women."

Most of this movie was toned down in budget and script before anything was shot. I'm sure very little alternate footage exists today.
"I said no camels, that's five camels, can't you count?"
It wasn't the intention to shoot a graphically violent Conan, like the first. On the commentary, Fleischer comments that he felt the film was still too violent in parts and there are some blood splashes. It find it still delivers the goods and is more fantasy violence orientated. The lighter tone lets it get away with a PG......this was pre PG13 inception.
shareI remember when it came out and it getting bad reception from critics and reading that it was toned down. Sarah Douglas mentioned her part was bigger and she was disappointed that they did cut a sexy scene w Arnie. http://a.onionstatic.com/images/articles/article/45525/conan_g2g_M_jpg_627x325_crop_upscale_q85.jpg

Hopefully we can get a version with those scenes in it.
That's disappointing. I love the first Conan movie. Just watched Destroyer again last night, and within 1-2 minutes the jokey tone is evident and you know you're in for a pale lightweight imitation.
Sarah Douglass (Queen Taramis) is pretty much the only thing I like about this movie. She's super sexy, and makes a great evil villain babe (just like in Superman II). It sucks that the studio neutered this one from the start.
Is there a director's cut somewhere?
