Line 19:
* [[The Blacksmith]]: Ator
* [[Breast Plate]]: Averted, Mila appears to be wearing a hub cap on her chest.
* [[Brother
* [[Cultured Warrior]]: Ator, in the second movie anyway, is so cultured he can create hang gliders, perform surgery, and make gunpowder grenades.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Miles O'Keefe.
* [[Fantastic Nuke]]: The "geometric nucleus" seems to be a magic-based nuclear weapon, depending on how you interpret the [[Anvilicious]] closing monologue and stock footage of a mushroom cloud.
* [[Father, I Want to Marry My Brother]]: See [[Brother
* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Nila. Sure, she's a strong-willed young lady with lots of rebellious spunk. Sure, she has some nominal experience fighting bad guys with swords. Sure, she knows everything her Dad taught her, even did a neat [[Mc Guyver]] job with gunpower made from cave wall minerals in a test Ator had for her. However, she gets shot with an arrow, becomes a [[Distressed Damsel]] with both the cannibal cavepeople AND the snake cult & cowers in the corner like a helpless blob of jello when in the snake pit with Ator. C'mon, lady! Wield a femur or do [[The Mc Guyver]] routine with a skull-bomb or something! CHEEZE LOUISE! She's [[What Could Have Been]] as applied to a character...she's foisted on us as a cool, cute, spunky little warrior chick with mad science skillz but turns out to be a lackluster swordswoman & [[Distressed Damsel]].
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: How many other Conan knockoffs can ''build a goddamned hang glider''?
Line 37:
* [[MacGuffin]]: The "Geometric Nucleus"
* [[Neutral Female]]: You were a ''big'' help with the snake, lady.
* [[The Obi
* [[Old Shame]]: Played straight with O'Keefe. It's been rumored that Miles O'Keefe offered the creators of ''[[MST3K]]'' a drink if he ever met them, for their take on this film. An installment of TNT's B-movie showcase ''Monstervision'' contained a segment where a viewer wrote in to request the Ator trilogy, only for host Joe Bob Briggs to explain that the last time they'd shown them, he received a personal letter from O'Keefe himself calling the films an "embarrassment" and asking politely that they never be shown on the program again (a request which Briggs respectfully acknowledged).
* [[Porn Stache]]: Zor
