Revealing mistake: When Dar proceeds to walk through the dungeon grates, dozens of spiked arms suddenly poke out and flail dangerously close to shredding his legs. Yet in the far shots they are more than a foot distance from the center of the walkway, to do any real damage to anyone walking through.

Other mistake: After the raid Dar's village is burning, left in ruins, and one of the last huts goes up in flames but then explodes like an inferno. Purely for dramatic reasons, rather than just plummeting to the ground like the other burning huts.

Continuity mistake: When the Juns go to attack Emir, the way Dar's father's is holding the sword changes between shots. First he's holding it blade towards our right, then to our left. It continues to change between shots.

Question: Why did the huge bat-like creatures kill the man that was in their cage but let Dar live?

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.
