Overview
Conan is commissioned by the evil queen Taramis to safely escort a teen princess and her powerful bodyguard to a far away castle to retrieve the magic Horn of Dagoth. Unknown to Conan, the queen plans to sacrifice the princess when she returns and inherit her kingdom after the bodyguard kills Conan. The queen’s plans fail to take into consideration Conan’s strength and cunning and the abilities of his sidekicks: the eccentric wizard Akiro, the warrior woman Zula, and the inept Malak.

Viewing Notes
In comparison to the first film, this one is a major step down. On its own it works well enough as a sillier PG-rated fantasy film. I don’t know the story behind why this one targeted all ages but I think it was a mistake. The 4K disc looks good though.
