Suggested correction: .

So you've changed the words of your entire correction. It originally stated in your correction that the hand doesn't exist, not even in slo-mo, and it's just the chain moving to the left; hence my first reply was a response to that original correction. Now your correction states that new versions have the hand digitally erased. The correction is still wrong since viewers still see the hand in other versions out there. This is available on Tubi, and until September 30 it's also available on Netflix; the hand is quite visible.

I don't know which version you watched, but perhaps it was edited. This is indeed visible on an early DVD and original VHS. A crew member's hand appears from the hole Conan climbed out of and pushes Conan's chain, right before Conan cuts it with the sword.
