Dar's black tiger is actually a regular striped tiger dyed black. The dye would wash off around the mouth whenever the tiger took a drink, so throughout the film the stripes are often visible around the mouth.
Sultan, the tiger that played "Ruh" in the movie, died about 2 years after the movie as a result of severe skin problems as well as other health issues caused by the toxic black dye used.
When Dar is about to light the funeral pyre for all the villagers from his home who were killed, and while Dar is giving a soliloquy, one of the "dead" bodies on the ground has a big, cheesy grin on his face.
In the river-ferry sequence when Kiri is wrapping the rope around the water filled jugs, the rope is on the outside of her body "trapping" her between it and the water. In the next shot, the rope is behind her so that she is no longer "trapped"
Young Dar's Father: Dar... the gods have put that mark on you, and someday, you'll find out why. 'Til then, this mark will be your guide. My sword and my caber will be your trusted companions. Protect Emur, your home. And if anything should happen to me, look for our enemies, the Juns... and you may search for your destiny in the Valley of Aruk.
What are the differences between the Theatrical Version and the Director's Cut?
A
At first the movie was only released in a tightened version that doesn't really feel right at some points. Years later a Director's Cut was released. It is a lot more logical as it develops the characters a lot better. Right at the beginning a large part of the plot has been put back in place. It explains the details for the fight between king Zed and Maax as well as the reason why Dar can talk to animals (he was transferred to a cow's belly as an unborn). Additionally, some beautiful landscape views seen through the eagle's eyes now delight the viewer. In total more than 20 minutes were added to the Director's Cut. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
