Summary: The popular comedy duo Griff Rhys Jones and Mel Smith star in this comedy based on the Tom Sharpe novel. Henry Wilt (Jones) is a lecturer who is under the thumb of his domineering wife. Wilt lands himself in hot water when he makes a fool of himself at a party with an inflatable doll, which he later buries on a building site. Unfortunately, Wilt's wife has also gone missing and the local police--led by Inspector Flint (Smith)--are convinced that it was a real body that Wilt was hiding.

The dark, brooding tone of Conan the Barbarianis replaced in this rousing sequel by a lighter, more humorous tone and one of the campiest casts ever assembled. In Conan the Destroyer, our massively muscular hero (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is assigned by a duplicitous queen (Sarah Douglas) to escort a virgin princess (Olivia d'Abo) on a treacherous trek to a crystal palace where they will retrieve a priceless gemstone. Basketball champ and self-described Lothario Wilt Chamberlain plays Bombaata, a warrior sent on a secret mission to kill Conan, and the androgynous Grace Jones plays Zula, a wild woman who becomes Conan's loyal ally. Some consider this sequel a disappointment but the film makes no apologies for its silliness, and that's the key to its success as gloriously pulpy entertainment. --Jeff Shannon
