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. www.warmupthetourbus.com. Long live the 35th Regiment of Foot!
