The movie plays like a slightly larger scale, more expensive episode of Hercules. A quick name change later, and TA DA! - you've got cinema's only depiction of Howard's second-most famous barbarian character.

Trouble was, Schwarzenegger didn't want to reprise the role for a third time, and Kevin Sorbo wasn't interested in playing a previously established character - you know, even though he was ONLY FAMOUS FOR PLAYING HERCULES. Howard actually came up with the character of Conan while rewriting a Kull story, which is ironic since the movie version of Kull the Conqueror is actually just a revamped, rejected Conan movie (intended to be Conan the Conqueror, based on the Conan novel The Hour of the Dragon). Howard, the same guy responsible for Conan the Barbarian. If Kull the Conqueror seems like little more than a Conan imitation, at least there's a good reason: the character was created by Robert E. Fuuuuuuck.įor the rest of the movie, Kull teams up with a priest (Native American rapper Litefoot) and his sister, Zareta (Karina Lombard), to defeat the witch Akivasha (who will gain ultimate power when a bunch of suns align or some shit, because of course she will), kill Taligaro and regain the kingdom of Valusia. This is all, like, the first third of the movie. She quickly poisons him and, believing Kull to be dead, rules the kingdom as a secret evil rubber monster.

Feeling passed over for the throne and slighted, General Taligaro (Thomas Ian Griffith) conspires to revive Akivasha, Sorceress Queen of Acheron (Tia Carerre), who seduces Kull and marries him to become queen.

Through a series of events, Kull is made heir to the kingdom of Valusia by a dying, mad king, who chooses Kull (despite the fact that he is from Atlantis and not of noble lineage) knowing that attempts will endlessly be made on his life. The rest of the 'plot' (as it were) is difficult to describe, as it depends heavily on the kind of made up names and places that can make fantasy fiction so impenetrable to all but the most die hard fans of the genre.

It only made sense that some enterprising producer would attempt to convert Sorbo's TV success and built-in fanbase into box office gold thus, Sorbo's movie career began and ended with 1997's Kull the Conqueror. A few more TV movies led to a syndicated series, Hercules and the Legendary Journeys, which quickly became all the rage with fantasy geeks and masturbating housewives who were still a few years out from playing World of Warcraft. He became an overnight celebrity - albeit kind of a cult one, with a very specific fan base. Minnesota-born Kevin Sorbo did a few forgettable TV guest spots at the start of his acting career that never amounted to much, but as soon as he was cast as Hercules in a series of Sam Raimi-produced TV movies beginning in 1993, all of that changed.

Then there's polar opposites Kevin Sorbo and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, who met with very different career fates despite being launched as action stars in very, very similar movies. Michael Jai White has incredible chops (both literal and figurative), but hasn't enjoyed one third as much success as Wesley Snipes. What is it that makes an action star? Why do some 'pop' and others don't? Steven Seagal becomes a movie star and works consistently for two decades, while Jeff Speakman disappears almost immediately after The Perfect Weapon is engineered to make him a household name.
