The very end of the Tree of Woe scene was cut [1], as CromIsGod mentions it in his listing:
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
| |
When Subotai arrives at the Tree of Woe to save Conan, he picks up the dead vulture and tells Conan that he is hungry and intends to EAT it. Conan asks him to "eat it behind me so that I cannot watch".
|
|
|
 |
|

David C. Smith thinks that this cut is not truly harmful to the film, on the contrary:
|
|
|
|
| |
|
| |
Dialogue between Conan and Subotai when the Hyrkanian arrives to rescue the brutalized warrior from the Tree of Woe was left out, to the movie’s improvement. Subotai, the ever-hungry thief, can’t let the vulture Conan has killed go to waste:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONAN
What are you doing?
SUBOTAI
Taking the feathers off.
CONAN
You’re not going to eat that thing!
SUBOTAI
I’m hungry.
CONAN
Eat it behind me--so I don’t have to watch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
| |
It’s a witty exchange that helps to define the characters, but cutting directly from Conan’s delirious vision of Subotai to the magic ceremony that will revive him maintains the integrity of the implication that Conan has been brought to death’s door because of the torture he has suffered.

In the novelization, it is Conan who asks Subotai if he has anything to eat. The "de-crucifixion" process is also detailed there (Subotai using crowbars to tear off the nails stuck into the Cimmerian's two palms), but it is more than probable that Milius did not shoot this.
