Main Character's Name
This refers to him as "Hawkeye" throughout the entire synopsis. I'm not sure they ever call him that in the movie. They certainly refer to him primarily as "Nathaniel." In the book it's usually "Hawkeye" or "Nattibumppo" but since this is the page for the movie, someone should change it to "Nathaniel." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.146.85.116 (talk) 16:00, 10 September 2007 (UTC)


 * He calls himself Hawkeye toward the end of the movie when he is talking to the Huron chief. I think he's referred to as Nathaniel only once or twice in the movie.  On a side note, I think Uncas' name is only said at the very end.

Why was Japan mentioned?
It's been awhile since I read the book, but I was surprised by this:

1. Magua tells Cora of his anger over being told that Japan does not exist.

2. The film version regains parallel with the nonexistent Japan here.

I just don't see how Japan got into it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.168.216.131 (talk) 17:47, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Length of discussion on 'Director's Cut'
I'm fine with the length - its an article on the movie, and I believe many reading will be interested in the newer DVD release and the differences from the original release. Mdboxberger (talk) 03:40, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Spoiler thingy
Pretty sure it's in the wrong spot —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.245.134.65 (talk) 08:19, 19 March 2007 (UTC).
 * Good catch. I've moved it up a bit. --Mad Max 21:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

May be it has been the bible or the lawery of U.S. and therefore the story intends such a halluzanatory stuff! A spot at his head! Am(en), A-my, grammar problems and what has really happen! Wounded knee?! If sombody hits on your hat, it#s the right spot!--Hum-ri (talk) 10:35, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * No it#s the (w)right spot! Somebody hit the writer of the plot from above, behind at a certain spot where language is produced.

alice image
why can't we keep this image up? It is a good image. And it's not too big. Why do u guys always have to spoil every thing huh? It's just a picture. Your acting like it's a sin to keep it up on the article. 173.51.68.51 (talk) 21:42, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Cast: James Cameron?
In the cast section, the following line is displayed: "Justin M. Rice - James Cameron" Why is it referring to James Cameron the director? The actor is on the left side, the character that is portrayed in the film on the right. Just want to doublecheck if this is indeed a mistake. - Kab00seAB34 (talk) 00:59, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * There's no matching James Cameron in the dab page. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:59, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Aternate version/releases/director's cut
This kind of content is allowed, and numerous other film articles have such sections, but only if there are reliable sources that discuss the different versions, how they differ, and who made the changes. --- The Old Jacobite The '45  01:20, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Historical Inaccuracy
Can the brainless auto-reverters bother to read edits before they delete them as vandalism???? The British uniforms and many other costumes are blatantly wrong and from at least 20 years later.
 * 1) Provide some reliable sources, otherwise you could just be making these 'inaccuracies' up.


 * 2) Stop insulting people.


 * Thank you. Geoff B (talk) 00:54, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Insults and petty matters aside, there are some bizarre aspects of the film's depiction of the British. The light infantry arose during this time period precisely to screen for main-body troop formations, and the bayonet was always prevalent among both those flanking parties and the Regulars. In the film, bayonets make no appearance--during the assault on Munro's withdrawing column, there is even a brief scene in which a British soldier smashes a Huron warrior with the butt of his musket and raises the weapon as if to stab the fallen brave, only to discover he has no bayonet--and the Regulars are depicted as utterly at the mercy of native warriors who hear their drums and see their bright clothes. One could easily conclude from this film that there was no way that even a few thousand British might defeat a few dozen Indians. Jsamans (talk) 14:42, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Edit regarding aftermath of Magua's Ambush?
The article states, with regard to Magua's ambush, "all the soldiers are killed." However, in the film you can clearly see multiple British soldiers sitting up and/or crawling about in the aftermath of the skirmish, and Hawkeye says, very distinctly, "Your wounded should try walkin' on back to Albany, they'll never make the passage north."

Here's a link to scene on Youtube, at time-stamp of Hawkeye's statement. ht.tps://youtu.be/1NV0As3JQkA?t=191. If you rewind a a bit you can also see some of the soldiers tending to their wounds in the background.

As such, I would suggest that the article is currently inaccurate and should be changed to say, "all the soldiers are killed or wounded, with the survivors apparently returning the way they had come," or words to that effect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.26.152.70 (talk) 16:48, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Yoga Awards
I had never heard of the Yoga Awards. But would it be appropriate to provide a short statement about the reason it awarded Michael Mann the Worst Director Award? Was this about the violence portrayed? I do not know. This points to the lack of criticism this Wiki article provides about the movie. Leedurhamstone (talk) 07:01, 10 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Does anybody care about the musings of some Catalan critics? What is their expertise in assessing "foreign" i.e. non-Catalonia movies? I would be inclined to remove that award from the article. 14.2.198.12 (talk) 09:52, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
