John Milius
When John Milius, director of "Conan the Barbarian", was unavailable, Dino De Laurentiis suggested Richard Fleischer to his daughter Raffaella De Laurentiis, who was producing "Conan the Destroyer". Fleischer had already made "Barabbas" (1961) and "Mandingo" (1975) for Dino De Laurentiis.
