The Meat

In the scene where Conan and Subotai are at the camp fire talking about their gods. What was that meat they were eating? it looked like chicken.

Quote :

First Draft script, Scene 121: The Fire.Conan and Subotai stare up at the night sky, eating roast wild ass that cooks on the fire. Subotai belches. the are contemplative, cerebral.

Yeah, thats still retained in the 2nd/and 3rd draft as well.

In the movie I really couldnt tell what they were eating there, probably was chicken. In Shadizar it also looked like he was eating kebab.

(First Draft Script) scene 137: Montage: The City.

They wander through the stalls. Everything is available here: weapons, clothing, jewelry, slaves, pleasure. Conan is a tourist; he has never been in a city before. He stops and buys some roast yak on a a stick

SUBOTAI
Don't eat that stuff -- you have no idea how long it's been there.

Conan eats anyway, enjoying it. He buys pieces of sugar maple and looks in each stall. Warriors pass by, eyeing his sword. They catch his glance and move on.

They come to the street of whores, filthy wenches of every description. Strange music drifts from their yurts and hovels.

WHORE
You don't know what pleasure is, warrior. These are the gates of heaven.

Cut to:

Man that takes time to do... I think i'll save the giant spider fight for another thread though.

Watching that scene makes me want to go to KFC.

Hyborian wild ass??????





So they also were cannibals, after all.










Ok, what an ass exactly is? A donkey? They are eating wild donkey?? Though in the movie it looked more like one rabbit and some ducks?

Stop teasing us, man!

I assume that fight is taking place in the Tower of the Serpent, in the infamous "chamber of the spider" that is still mentioned in the 2nd draft, right? (Possibly scenes 159 to 164, or something like that? -- which are listed as "Omitted Scenes" in the 2nd draft...)

Yea, kind of. A bunch of scenes were cut there. A glance in a window, conan breaking a lions back, the emerald room, spider, thingon the roof (three eyed beast). Ect/.
