• PLEASING
  Before I start this review I just want to make it clear that I have given this DVD 4 stars for one reason. The picture and sound quality are amazing. They are vastly superior to the ealrier Prism Leisure release. As for the film its self I give it 3 stars. This is a very average sequel. It doesn't really follow on from John Milius excellent original. The difference that really bugged me was the change in Conan's travelling companion.

  I wonder why there was so many small cuts in fight sequence which distort the movie? I have the first DVD edition and i noticed it is not exactly the same version in 1983, so i didnt like it. The orignal version there was Conan hit his enemy horse during fight battle and a camel also, which was cut here.
  I did purchased this edition because they mentioned it is a COLLECTOR EDITION and i thought it should be full without any delet or cut shots. But unfortuantly it is the same as first DVD release,... more info
