Continuity mistake: When the Jun hoard attack the Emirite village, Dar gets knocked unconscious and his dog starts to drag him away. After Maax arrives, the dog is shown dragging Dar away a second time. Two mistakes are apparent. The dog is pulling on the cloth of his left shoulder in this shot. First, when the dog is pulling, the dog stops to get a better grip on the clothing. When the dog lets go of the clothing, Dar keeps sliding even though the dog isn't pulling. Second, when they show the close-up of Dar, the dog is pulling on his right side, not the left. Then again on his left side and again on his right side. It switches a couple of times.
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.)
Continuity mistake: In the scene after the Jun horde is defeated, Seth removes the arrow from Tal's right shoulder. The next scene shows Dar sitting outside the house and Seth comes out to talk to Dar. Dar asks Seth, 'How is he?' And Seth answers, 'He won't have the use of his left hand for a while.' He should have said the right shoulder because that's where he got shot with the arrow.
Continuity mistake: In the woods, while Dar is drinking water, Maax orders his priest minion to kill Dar. The eye ring is worn on the middle finger of the priest's right hand, but as the priest attempts to hang/strangle Dar, there's a close-up of his hand and the eye ring is now being worn on the priest's ring finger; then it returns to the middle finger. (00:53:35)
Continuity mistake: When Maax says, "Ar wants this stranger. Bring him to me, this master of the beasts," he then holds out the eye ring with his right hand in the wide shot, but in the next close-up, the eye ring is being held out with his left hand (differently as well), and he says, "This ring will lead you to him," just as his priest minion takes it from Maax's left hand. (00:52:15)
Continuity mistake: During the bear attack, the bear comes out with blood all over its face, in the next shot, its face is completely clean.
Continuity mistake: When Dar "adopts" the panther, there's a close-up of him saying "Your name is Grr." Dar's hairstyle is completely different (shorter, fluffier and more like a wig).
Continuity mistake: After Maax gives the eye ring to his priest minion, in the following shots, Dar and Ruh are walking in the woods. Dar's sword strap hangs crossbody from his right shoulder, and his bag strap also hangs down from his right shoulder. When Ruh finds the water, in Dar's close-up as he says, "Ahead," there are no straps hanging from Dar's shoulders, but then both straps reappear on his right shoulder. (00:52:45)
Continuity mistake: The morning after Dar's encounter with the strange, tall, winged creatures and their human prey, when Dar pulls out their gifted amulet and looks at it, the amulet's chain is either in front of it or behind it, depending on the shot. (00:44:00)
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.
Continuity mistake: When Dar rescues the ferret from the mud, he extends his right arm from the right corner and the ferret its paws. A shot later his arm is extended from the ground up, and the ferret's paws are in a different position. (00:30:43)
Continuity mistake: Tal is downed by an arrow just before the Jud's attack Dar and gang. Seth pulls the arrow out just as the Jud's attack. Then after the battle ends, the gang carries Tal into a hut to remove the same arrow from his chest.
Continuity mistake: When the witch takes the baby out of the dead white cow's belly, when the angle changes the cow's been replaced with a bunch of white sheets piled up to resemble the cow.
Continuity mistake: After exiting the lake, Kiri's hair swaps from wet to dry and perfectly brushed.
Continuity mistake: During the fight where the panther appears, a ferret is biting a glove in one shot, but a bow a frame later.
Continuity mistake: During the village raid, when Dar is unconscious and the dog saves him, Dar's head position keeps changing in every single shot.
Continuity mistake: When Dar's dad shows Dar how to throw the flying blade, he rips out a man's headscarf and sends it to a tree. The scarf's position changes between shots.
Continuity mistake: When Dar's father arrives at the village with the baby, he stops by the entrance. A man holding a farm fork swaps from standing in front to behind him, between shots.
Continuity mistake: Dar's father brings the baby to the village and lifts him up for everyone to see. The baby is wrapped up in a blanket in the wide angles, but with his face uncovered and bare arms extended in the close-ups.
Continuity mistake: Kiri steps out of the water when the ferrets steal her clothes. She tries to cover herself with a small piece of garment around her waist. A frame later she is wearing a full dress.
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.
