Continuity mistake: When Dar and the others use a boat to intercept Kiri and her captors, we see them sailing towards the pier, but in the close-up shot they're pulling themselves along a rope which was absent from the earlier shot. (Noted in director's commentary.)

8. 3/10. A fun adventure romp of the 80's. I liked the chemistry between Marc Singer's Dar and Tanya Robert's Kiri. They seemed to gel perfectly together. Yes I've seen the showering scene, one of the more memorable scenes of 80's movies. John Amos was a nice touch, good actor.
It was an incredible time in my life to have been part of The Beastmaster family. The film still resonates with fans and their children even today. There is something for almost everyone in this film. Beastmaster forever.

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.
Trivia: The impaled skeletons marking the road towards the city were originally much better, but the better skeletons were accidentally burned in the funeral pyre scene, forcing the filmmakers to use nasty looking rubber ones instead.

Answer: The creatures did not eat Dar because the eagle landed on him, showing him as a friend to the eagle. They apparently worship eagles, as also indicated by the talisman they give him.
