* SpiritualAdaptation: At least a few people have commented that ''Conan the Destroyer'' is a pretty good ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' movie due to the fact that it features a full party of adventurers, a MacGuffin, and [[NarmCharm hammy overacting]]. At the very least it's agreed that it's better made and more entertaining than [[Film/DungeonsAndDragons2000 the first film adaptation]].

** Zula's attire randomly having a horse tail in her rear end.



** Malak stabbing Dagoth ''after'' Conan has defeated it. The orchestra even awards him an exciting hit as he does it.

* WTHCastingAgency: The Queen asks ''[[AnythingThatMoves Wilt Chamberlain]]'' to preserve a girl's virginity. The fact that he had to be a eunuch to do it makes it doubly funny.

** The character Jehnna was widely panned for being an annoying whiny and screaming RoyalBrat. She does become TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask later, though.

** Conan's goofball sidekick Malak is widely despised by audiences as a ReplacementScrappy for the competent and loyal Subotai. Just a few years later and his actor Tracey Walter would play The Joker's evil henchman Bob in ''Film/Batman1989'', who ended up becoming a major EnsembleDarkhorse with moviegoers for his competence and loyalty. To think all he had to do was switch teams.

** Conan's fight with the lizard/ape man, who tosses big rugged manly Conan around like a rag doll when he isn't pimp slapping him, isn't anywhere near as scary, frightening or intense as it's supposed to be due to some really, really, ''really'' goofy fight choreography. And when you consider that Conan does a better job against the demonic god Dagoth in the climax his fight with the lizard (gator?) ape man just looks even more ridiculous. The beast also keeps doing [[WrestlerInAllOfUs wrestling moves]] to Conan, including a textbook vertical suplex. Given such moves normally require the person taking them to assist and Creator/PatRoach's past as a wrestler, this looks absurd.
