It's a catchy title. And based on it, one might expect that a tiger's eye had some significance to the plot. It doesn't.
The so-called "tiger" doesn't appear until the last 10 minutes. There is no mention of it before then, and when it finally shows up, it's a surprise to the characters. It's a saber-toothed feline beast, but it has no stripes, so calling it a tiger is incorrect. There are one or two close-up shots of its eyes, but no particular significance is made of this, and the eyes are never mentioned in the dialog.
This, the last of Ray Harryhausen's Sinbad trilogy, is the weakest. Patrick Wayne is pretty good as Sinbad - no better or worse than his predecessors. Margaret Whiting really hams it up as the villainous witch Zenobia. The best part is Patrick Troughton, who was the second Doctor Who. Troughton is one of my favorite actors, and is probably the only reason that I would watch this film again.
Coincidentally, Tom Baker, the fourth Doctor Who, was in the previous film, The Golden Voyage of Sinbad. And both films feature James Bond girls ... Jane Seymour in this one, Caroline Munro in Golden Voyage.
This is worth checking out, but don't expect the brilliance of The 7th Voyage of Sinbad.
