Conan the Destroyer 4K 01/24 Blu-ray (Rental)

THE MOST POWERFUL LEGEND OF ALL IS BACK IN A NEW ADVENTURE. After conquering the box office with his first outing as the sword-wielding Cimmerian, Arnold Schwarzenegger returns in Conan the Destroyer, an exciting and action-packed sequel from veteran director Richard Fleischer (The Vikings) that amps up the fantasy-adventure and hews closer to the character’s pulp and comic book origins. Still mourning the death of his beloved Valeria, Conan is given an offer he can’t refuse by Queen Taramis (Sarah Douglas): he will escort her niece, Princess Jehnna (Olivia d’Abo), on a quest to find a mystical horn that will awaken a slumbering god, in return for Valeria being brought back from the dead. With a new group of companions by his side – including a fierce warrior woman named Zula (Grace Jones) – Conan must battle an onslaught of evil beasts, wizards and cannibals, little suspecting that the wicked Taramis intends to betray him with the aid of her head guard, Bombaata (Wilt Chamberlain). Photographed by the great Academy Award-winning cinematographer Jack Cardiff, with another rousing score by Basil Poledouris, Conan the Destroyer has finally been restored in 4K with hours of brand new bonus features taking you deeper into the legend of the thief who would be king. 4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS Brand new 4K restoration from the original negative by Arrow Films 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray (2160p) presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) Newly restored original mono audio and remixed Dolby Atmos surround audio Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing Archive feature commentary by director Richard Fleischer Archive feature commentary by actors Olivia d’Abo and Tracey Walter Archive feature commentary by actor Sarah Douglas with genre historians Kim Newman & Stephen Jones Brand new feature commentary by genre historian Paul M.
