Dar's black tiger was actually a regular striped tiger dyed black! The dye would wash off around the mouth whenever the tiger took a drink and weren't painted out again immediately, so throughout the film the stripes are often visible around the mouth.
It's alleged that Sultan (The Tiger) died after filming from a serious skin condition resulting from the dye used. Seems unlikely, but can anyone confirm whether this is true or just a rumor?
At the scene where Dar's is being pulled away by a white dog, you can clearly see that Dar is actually in a sort of platform either being pulled or pushed.
There is an instance when the dog wasn't biting his sleeve yet he is still moving away.
Seen a blooper in The Beastmaster?
