Casting

 

Arnold Schwarzenegger put on an extra 5 kilograms (10 pounds), at director Richard Fleischer's request, to play Conan in this film. Singer Grace Jones gave a noteworthy performance as the female warrior Zula, the last of her tribe. This would be the first major role for seven-foot, one-inch-tall basketball player Wilt Chamberlain. It would be 15-year-old (at time of release) Olivia d'Abo's first screen appearance, playing the petulant teenage princess. Tracey Walter played the opportunistic and foolish thief Malak. David L. Lander was originally cast to play Malak, but due to Lander's deteriorating health from the onset of multiple sclerosis, Lander was forced to quit the project, and the part was recast with Walter. Sven-Ole Thorsen, who played Thorgrim in the first film, also returned, but this time he had to partially cover his face with a mask, as he was playing a different (yet more bearded) character. André the Giant played Dagoth but was not credited in the film, as he was in costume.

 

 

Cool stuff.

Don't even remember that character.

 

Edit..just Googled it. I laughed when I saw the pic, remembering how poorly done those types of characters were done back in the day.

I believe Dagoth was the statue the girl put the Horn in and then it came to life.

Dagoth, was the one at the very end with a huge horn in it's head.

As long as the role didnt require him to jump more than 2 inches off the floor, he was ok.

[kutulu 1,659]

Yes. that is accurate

 

At least he won't get type cast.

How did they get Wilt to stop banging broads long enough to get him in costume AND take a picture?

Interestingly enough, Wilt's character in the movie was responsible for maintaining the virginity of Olivia D'Abo's character.
