Continuity mistake: During the ambush scene, when one of the baddies activates a trap and gets stabbed in his stomach, the position of his hand is inconsistent between shots.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: Before entering the room with the wizard leader, Zula tosses the torch into a cubbyhole in the wall, but the cubbyhole isn't lit up by the torch as if it went out (or fell down a shaft). However, when escaping, Akiro grabs the lit torch out of the same cubbyhole, which is lit up by the torch (and he didn't use his magic to relight the torch).

Revealing mistake: During Conan's sword-fight with one of the Queen's guard (after the escape from the castle), you can tell the sparks were added in afterwards. At one point, Conan's back is to the camera and the guard attacks from Conan's front and a spark is seen in front of the back of Conan's head when his head should have blocked the view of the spark.

Bishop73

Revealing mistake: Just after the fight between the tied woman versus the 6 men she jumps on a horse and starts going up the hill. At that moment the camera moves sideways while showing the back of people's heads, in a hat you can see the information label (make, studio etc.).

Grevius

Revealing mistake: In both shots rowing toward the ice castle and back from it, the shot is obviously using some sort of rear projection, as the film running behind has marks such as hairs and scratches that have been amplified. The contrast between the main shot and the rear projection is different too.

Visible crew/equipment: During the opening fight before the queen reveals herself, the camera shadow, along with the shadows of a few crew members can be seen when one of the fighters is thrown to the ground. The camera pans down, and you see its shadow.

Princess Jehnna: After we return to Shadizar, what will you do?
Conan: I'll find my kingdom, and a queen to sit beside me.
Princess Jehnna: What kingdom?
Conan: The promise I was kingdomed-no...the kingdom I was promised.

Trivia: Most people should already know this, but Sven-Ole Thorsen (Titus of Gaul from Gladiator), who played Thorgrim (one of Thulsa Doom's henchmen) in Conan the Barbarian, was given another role in Conan the Destroyer as Togra, the leader of the horsemen who fought one-on-one with Conan sometime in the middle of the film.
