Yeah in the mountain men Heston has a lance thrown at him sticking the tree next to him. He pulls it out and kills the Indian. But you can look and see the guid wire that the lance traveled on

"Elk don't know how many feet a horse has!" Classic line!
I agree about that elk kill being legit, but there's another scene where he shoots a running deer and it's obvious that a couple guys off screen just toss a deer carcass into the snow. That always makes me laugh.
Yeah I love it, good logic too!
I do remember that deer getting chucked on screen, I always got a chuckle out of it myself. Guess you had to work with what you had in the 70s!

What about toward the end of the last of the mohicans when Daniel Day Lewis comes out of a cave and brushes past the rock which wobbles because its just painted fabric!
And Mr. Wallach absolutely nailed it. Tuco Ramirez is (to me) one of the most memorable characters and one of the most lovable rascals in all of film history.
I thought it was a frozen moose leg? no?I enjoyed all of those. The native girl in Blackrobe swung a mean kindling stick...

The movie was Revolution. Released in 1985. Starred Al Pacino, Donald Sutherland, and Nastassja Kinski. Available on DVD via Amazon. I have seen a couple of different endings, but overall, a decent movie.
Chief Dan George and Russell Means have passed away. I saw Means once in a TV interview. He was a very intelligent and erudite man as well as being a great actor.

Way back in the 1990's, Turner Television Network (TNT) did a series of made for TV movies about notable Native Indians. A friend and I were background actors in the life story of Tecumseh. It was filmed in the "wilds" of North Carolina, near Winston-Salem. We wore our own colonial clothing and supplied our own firearms. Most of the others were issued rubber muskets.

One of our local BlackPowder groups, a Buckskinning group out of Masonville CO, was approached to be in the Rendezvous Scenes in the TV miniseries Centennial...the group was approached years later to be in the movie Mountain Men
Just saw JJ last week....For at least the 20th time. I still crack up after all these years over the exchange between Jeremiah and Del, when Del was buried in the ground with only his head exposed. The acting and timing is priceless!

That whole scene is so memorable...Del Gue...
“Ain't this somethin'? I told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Mother Gue said to me; ‘Make your life go here, son. Here's where the people is. Them mountains is for Indians and wild men.’ "Mother Gue", I says "the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world," and by God, I was right. Keep your nose in the wind and your eye along the skyline.”
