Conan The Barbarian (1981)
 

I happened to notice that the ITV4 showing of this the other night included the horsefall missing from the opening of the UK DVD, so presumably they were showing an uncut print. I taped the second showing. Does anyone know what else was cut from the UK version? Apparently the DVD cuts are different from the older versions of the film (video etc). The DVD appears to have substitutions as the horsefall cut isn't noticeable at all.

The horsefall cuts on the DVD are basically the same as the old cinema/video versions but just made slightly differently. The sex scene between Schwarzenegger & the witch is also still cut (missing a brief shot of her bare arse) as per the old releases.

Some good Conan trivia and info here.

Conan loses a horsefall from the opening attack when the rider's shot with an arrow.Then several are cut from the final battle scene including the sequence where Conan chops at the legs of a horse carrying one of Tulsa Doom's henchmen (Shown intact in the Conan Unchained dcumentary !)Conans companion brings one down on a hill & the shot of it tumbling through some wooden stakes is removed (Also in the documentary & intact in the older video releases !)Conan The Destroyer was defintely cut last night as it lost two cuts for horsefalls at the start.The most obvious is when Conan grabs a net & yanks two riders & horses to the ground.The sequence of a Camel being smacked on the top of its head is usually cut (did not check that last night) & a sequence where the horse of Grace Jones violently collides with another during an ambush.The punching of the horse was intact last night despite being cut from the UK dvd though the old RCA Columbia video versions never cut this anyway.The r2 MGM disc from France & Germany is intact also restoring a throat-slitting.

This the version I own,cool artwork,eh? Identitical to the old EMI artwork....:cool:

No doubt Cloudan the Brumararian will tell me this is the cut version......:rofl:

I honestly couldn't tell you. I last saw Conan The Barbarian when I was what? 7 or 8 years old. Gimme COMMANDO any day ;).

I picked up THE DESTROYER free from The Sun a couple of years ago. What a stinker! I'm glad I didn't pay money for that rubbish.
