Hi all here on the aisle seat

I know I am seriously late in coming to Conan the Barbarian on home entertainment, but can someone here help me out.
I worked on this in Europe & I think at EMI, home entertainment issue we used the Universal print, but I found this copy see link in a charity store here in Canada & for $1 I thought I would buy it again.



Was surprised to see it had added footage that I do once recall seeing in the UK, but was cut after that & cut for Classification again, down to a AA or certificate 15 as it became.

Does this “longer cut” exist on Blu Ray? Seeing conflicting web information & figure I would ask here.
Thanks all.

Regards

The Fox overseas Blu-Ray has the "Director's Cut" -- which was the 129 min. European international version plus one added scene (with Arnold and Gerry Lopez) -- if that's what you're referring to Andy. It runs 131 minutes.

The US Universal Blu-Ray is missing that one "Director's Cut" scene (which the DVD you linked to includes), but otherwise is the 129 min. cut (what we referred to here as the "International cut").

There's no Blu-Ray that has the cut-down U.S. theatrical release on it.

Hoping we get a 4K UHD of this at some point...note the Fox international Blu-Rays were also pressed in different variations. One has a really good, genuinely 5.1 remixed soundtrack (sans the chorus parts, which apparently they couldn't locate) -- a later pressing has a 5.1 "corrected" soundtrack, with the chorus, that's basically just rechanneled mono (it also has properly adjusted day-for-night sequences). I think this version may have only been released in France, however...my Steelbook is French and has that version. (I also have the Hong Kong Fox release, which has the better 5.1 track).

Also worth noting CONAN THE DESTROYER was released by MGM outside the US and has specific, unique supplements on it (including a Basil Poledouris interview), none of which are the US Universal Blu-Ray.
