have just see this film for the first time after purchase it on dvdit come across a a cheap attempt to cash in on the two conan movie . unfortunately and this film do not appear to have the same budget a the conan film and hence some of the set and effect aren not a flash and some scene seem hurry . nielsen be ok to look at but unfortunately she couldn not act if a gun be put to her head . arnie support role look like it be do a a favor to director fleischer and who also direct conan the destroyer . maybe arnie wasn not confident that he would go on to headline film like predator and total recall and t2 and etc . some of the female guardian of the talisman early in the film look like they be struggle to lift their sword and the look on their face suggest they be have great fun make this film . i couldn not be so jovial if i be fight for my life . all this aside and this film require very little concentration to watch and be mildly entertaining . i have see a lot bad . two star .
