No guts. As I recall the shot of the tiger was just of the body hitting the ground and sliding, back facing the camera. Actually, now I can't picture the knife he used. Maybe it was a khukri.
He had a huge scimitar, too, which he used when he really wanted to kick colonial tail. It was all very acrobatic, as I recall; lots of whirling, leaping, diving. I have no idea whether or not it was historically/culturally accurate, but it looked really cool.
