The only known video footage
from soldier training during
the making of Last of the
Mohicans in Asheville, NC
during the summer of 1991.
This footage is not
edited...The gentleman in the
beret is Capt. Dale Dye, who
is the most famous military
technical advisor of all time.
The second part in the video
is a brief look at preparing
the hair of some soldiers
before the day's shoot. I
can't remember where this was
taken, but it probably
occurred during the scenes at
'Fort William Henry,' which
were shot on Lake James, NC.
The third segment is when Kay
(she worked as a wig dresser
on the film) leaves the
production and returns home to
England. She's leaving her
boyfriend who was working on
the movie as well. Sad. The
final segment takes place on
the last day of production.
Here, we see Soldier #1 and
Soldier #2 relaxing (with a
few others-G.M., S.H.) in
their luxurious and well-lit
trailer. The voices on the
walkie-talkie are those of the
production crew as they
scramble to finish shooting
the film. I wish I would have
shot more video during the
production, but the camera was
huge (it was 1991) and really
just a pain to lug around. For
a better quality version of
the footage, check out my
website.

live the 35th Regiment of
