      • A new shot of Hawkeye walking towards Cameron's Cabin. He yelled "Hey, John Cameron!" Then he went outside the cabin (which was not shown in the original cut). The shot also had a different angle
      • An interior shot of the house contains more dialogue between a settler and an officer: Settler: "Any of the boys worth having' can disappear." Officer: "They will be found." Settler: "And where does that leave you?" . Magua also appears. Officer: "Those men will be found."
      • Cora says one more sentence to Duncan: "Alice and I have depended upon you and respected you since we were all children."
      • There is extended dialogue of Alice, Cora, and Duncan Duncan: "It can be dangerous." Alice: "Nonsense. Papa wouldn't have sent for us." Cora: "Would you like some tea?" Alice: "Yes, thank you."
      • A shot of the squad marching into the woods was added.
      • After telling Major Heyward that he ain't no scout, and ain't in no damn militia, Hawkeye's line "Clear it up any?" has been deleted.
      • At night in the burial ground, Hawkeye's line about his father saying "Do not try to understand them, and do not make them try to understand you, for they are a breed apart and make no sense," and Cora's response later have been deleted.
      • The dialogues: Cora: "A breed apart, we make no sense?" Hawkeye: "In your particular case, miss, I'd make allowance." Cora: "Thank you so much." have been deleted. Later the line "So we would know both worlds." was added as Hawkeye explained that his father was sent to school when he was 10. No time difference. Hawkeye also spoke that line in the German dubbing of the Theatrical cut.
      • Some new and extended shots of the Siege on Fort William Henry.
      • The dialogue "We just dropped in to see how you boys were doing." was deleted.

      • A new but very brief shot of the French cheering their victory while entering the Fort.
      • Hawkeye's statement to Major Heyward in the Fort, "Someday you and I are going to have a serious disagreement," has been removed.
      • A woman buzzes a song while stroking a man's head.
      • Hawkeye walks across the field and later, Cora closes a dead man's eyes.

      • Montcalm tells Magua that he shared his pain. He stated: "My son Magua's pain is my pain." Later he said to Magua that he couldn't do anything. It has a different angle. Montcalm stated: But I cannot break the term of the surrender and sully the lilies of France.
      • The French squad marches to the Fortress.
      -Col. Munro appears first earlier at the beginning of the shot before it points to Cora and Alice.
      • When escaping in the canoes Hawkeye's line "Got nothing better to do on the lake today, Major?" has been deleted.
      • Cora's lines behind the waterfall, "You've done everything you can do. Save yourself!" and "If the worse happens, and only one of us survives, something of the other does too," and the first part of Hawkeye's following speech have been deleted.
      • The whole "I will find you" sequence has been changed. The original had footage of Cora, Alice and Major Heyward being taken up a mountain. This sequence was accompanied by the song, "I will find you" by the Irish group, Clannad. In this version, the song is gone and the sequence is about thirty seconds longer. It has different shots of Hawkeye, his brother and Chingachgook running up the mountain and following the Huron War party. There are also beautiful shots of the group being led into the sunset and Hawkeye kept running.
      • The scene where Cora and Hawkeye were leaving the Huron village was added.
      • A quick shot of Major Heyward burning alive has been added but his screaming has been deleted in the rest of the shots. New shots of Uncas fighting the Huron and Magua have been added.

      • The scene where Cora fell into Hawkeye's arms while she was crying has been deleted.
      • There is a much longer version of the Uncas funeral scene. Chingachgook talks about the Frontier life and how it is changing.

    Action, Romance, and Intrigue
    The Last of the Mohicans is a timeless tale of the 18th century frontier and the virtue and tragedy that results when the uniquely different cultures of the French, English, Native Americans, and colonists collide. Based on James Fenimore Cooper's literary genius, The Last of the Mohicans transports the viewer back to a time of America's youth in a brilliant, mesmerizing fashion.

    The story centers on an eclectic band of travelers, thrust together by fate and their attempt to escape danger and reach the besieged British fort, William-Henry. Deep within the western forests of colonial New York, Hawkeye, the white, adopted son and brother of the Mohicans, tries desperately to avoid an ever-increasing war. He is forced to act when, along with his Mohican father and brother, he encounters two endangered sisters trying to reach their father, a British colonel in command at the fort. Hawkeye, the rustic tracker, and Cora, the refined, eldest daughter, are naturally drawn together (much to the dismay of Major Heyward, an intriguing character who also vies for Cora's affections). Tensions and passions arise between the characters as a whirlwind of conflict and violence rages around them. In the end, each character must face heart-wrenching decisions that will affect their very lives, and the lives of those around them.

    I especially love the way that the film depicts the perspectives of each of the groups involved. Whether the group is competing for military superiority or simple existence in their homeland, the viewer is given a true sense of their mindset in the midst of a great conflict. It is difficult to say one side or the other is completely to blame for the events that take place. Even the story's main antagonist, Magua (wonderfully portrayed by Wes Studi, Dances with Wolves) draws in a fair amount of empathy.

    The Last of the Mohicans is a marvelous, visual adventure that thoroughly reveals the horrors of warfare, the wildness of a chaste frontier, and the fated and ill-fated romances of the characters involved.
