Trivia
According to director Don Coscarelli, the original camera negative for this film is lost. Contrary to standard practices, it was stored in a private house which was sold, and it is not known what happened to the cans which housed the negative. Coscarelli has asked the public for help.

Goofs
When Seth gives Dar an update on Tal's condition he says that he "won't have the use of his left hand for a while". However, Tal was injured in the right shoulder and it is his right arm that is strapped down.

Quotes
Dar: [re: the eagle] I have my eyes...
[re: the ferrets]
Dar: I have my cunning...
[re: the tiger]
Dar: and I have my strength.

Alternate versions
The UK cinema version was heavily cut for a PG rating with edits to shots of impaled bodies and the puncturing of a ring containing an eyeball, and to remove all footage of topless nudity during Kiri's bathing scene. The video certificate was raised to a 15 but early Warner releases mistakenly featured the cut cinema print. The 1998 Five Star Directors Cut video and all subsequent releases are fully uncut.

Connections
Edited into The Saga of 'The Beastmaster' (2005)

If you liked Conan the Barbarian but didn't think it had enough animals and too many people were wearing pants, this is the movie for you.

It may not win any awards and the 80s has produced far more cheesy films but they deserve acknowledgment for producing the largest number of loin cloths I've ever seen in one movie. The main character lacked any personality and the abundance of nostril shots didn't help him either. Nonetheless, it's not a horrible movie. They stayed close enough to Conan to produce an entertaining movie and added enough gimmicks to avoid being a complete rip-off.

One thing, however, disturbed me about this movie. Now, the Beastmaster and the kid were brothers. No problem. But am I crazy or did the kid, at one point, say that the love interest was his cousin? If the Beastmaster stopped pursuing her after this I think we could all let it go - no one ever hassled Luke about his antics in Star Wars - but the announcement didn't even slow down our hero. Maybe I'm wrong; maybe I misheard the kid. Still, you just know that if the Beastmaster did get a hold of a pair of pants he wasn't going to be keeping those ferrets in his pouch anymore.

It's got its disturbing points but it should keep you entertained. An okay movie.
