They really did not need to do this much worldbuilding for a movie like this, but they sure did.
Lots of weird stuff: lightning bolts, a bunch of wacky names, a fight to the death with a big cat, drugs, the Weird Ways, and the rock solid bond of friendship. If you've seen any movie in this genre beyond Conan, you know basically what you're in for, and for a lot of people that's not much. For me, it's plenty.
I think the villains are mostly above par for the genre, with a handful of good moments from our big guy Kalungo, one wild transformation of a lioness into a naked lady, a freaky Weird Ways attack by the demon Balgore, and plenty of dastardly moments from Tshingi, the mother of Dyala's companion Tashi.
I do have to wonder why they had to make the sex scene between Kalungo and Tshingi so erotic, though.
Interesting to note that this film is a whitewashing of a story written by Charles Saunders ("Agbewe's Sword"), who was influential in establishing the "sword and soul" subgenre of African-inspired fantasy. Saunders, of course, collaborated with Sessa on this and on a later film. (I suppose that's probably where the worldbuilding comes from.)
"Hell? Hell will be my greatest conquest."
