Trivia

The shot of a bison being killed during a stampede is used three times. First, it is seen when the Smilodon ambushes the herd and takes down one of the bison. It is seen twice more during the buffalo slaughter at the end, it is clearly the same scene, although the background is different and is without the sabre-tooth. There is one shot that is exactly the same, and the third time during the massacre scene is flipped and zoomed in to look like it is different.
