Akiro finds the full version that concludes with a warning that he will bring "death to the world" in the temple that holds the horn before they retrieve it, but by then Conan is blinded by his hope for Valeria's return and doesn't care.

This is not a proper example of the trope. It\'s not about the actor, it\'s about the in-story role.

Conan\'s sex as nothing to do with it, she owes him a life debt that he has to release her from at the end. Standard Proud Warrior Race Guy stuff.


* BrokenAesop: Zula shows that women can be as strong and independent as men, fighting beside them and "taking them" when they want to get laid. However, she's also pledged her life to Conan, a man. In the end, Jehna says that a woman can be just as effective a guard captain as a man, but Zula must get Conan's permission to accept.

* GenderFlip: The film turned [[http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix4/zula_hyborian.htm Zula]], a male [[MagicKnight warrior/wizard]] from the Creator/MarvelComics line into the non-magical ActionGirl played by Grace Jones as a [[AmazonBrigade Zulu Amazon]] of sorts. WordOfGod is that the stunt men really didn't like working with her in fight scenes, as she had a tendency to accidentally put them in hospital. Her fighting is really, really good.
