==Ratings==
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===

* Rated: R (Nudity, Adult Content and Violence)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)

Although there is some crossover between Robert E. Howard's Conan stories and the shared universe of the "Cthulhu Mythos", it's not particularly evident from the films, though the monsters, weird cults, and sorcery might be useful for some ideas....

''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''

==Synopsis==

CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1982): Orphaned boy Conan is enslaved after his village is destroyed by the forces of vicious necromancer Thulsa Doom, and is compelled to push "The Wheel of Pain" for many years. Once he reaches adulthood, Conan sets off across the prehistoric landscape of the Hyborian Age in search of the man who killed his family and stole his father's sword. With beautiful warrior Valeria and archer Subotai, he faces a supernatural evil.

CONAN THE DESTROYER: In his second cinematic adventure, the mighty warrior Conan is tricked into working for the scheming Queen Taramis. Along with finding a mystical horn, Conan and his allies, which include the fierce fighter, Zula, and the wisecracking sorcerer, Akiro, must protect the beautiful young Princess Jehnna. With deception and danger at every turn, Conan has to use all of his power to defeat the evil foes that stand in his way.

RED SONJA: Power-hungry Queen Gedren captures the priestesses guarding the Talisman, a mystical orb that created and can destroy the world. But one of the priestesses escapes and seeks out her warrior sister, Red Sonja, to warn her about Gedren's plan for world domination. Lord Kalidor (a Conan-like character played by Schwarzenegger), the Talisman's keeper, insists on helping Sonja, and though she scorns the assistance of any man, she soon gains respect for Kalidor's fighting prowess.

KULL THE CONQUEROR: Intended to be a third Conan film. After five years as a slave, warrior Kull travels to the shores of the fantastical kingdom of Valusia, where he slays mad King Borna. Inheriting the crown, Kull begins an ambitious program of bringing freedom and tolerance to Valusia, which displeases Gen. Taligaro and the royal court's advisers. Determined to unseat Kull, Taligaro has a wizard resurrect the witch Akivasha to seduce and destroy the new monarch.

CONAN THE BARBARIAN 2011: A powerful Cimmerian warrior, Conan carves a bloody path across the land of Hyboria on a personal vendetta. That soon turns into a an epic battle against evil, for Conan's mortal enemy, Khalar Zym, seeks the legendary Mask of Acheron. The artifact will enable Khalar Zym to raise his wife from the dead and achieve immortality for himself, but it will also unleash a malevolent force upon the land, and only Conan and his companions can stop it.
