: While watching the movie I noticed that during the massacre Duncan appears to throw himself down the hill. For all intents and purposes what did he do that for?
As Marcia said, we know he was shot in the leg, however, that's not made clear in the movie, so it would seem he tumbled down the slight embankment as he was going backwards ...
> Also, another thing is that when Hawkeye notices Cora about to be killed it takes him awhile to get across the field to her, by this time (in a relistic view) both she and Alice would already be dead, considering he did have to kill the two indians inbetween him and Cora, and that would have taken him a little bit of time to do.
Slo' mo' ... used to great effect ...
>And yet another thing, is that when Munro's horse was shot he still had the sword in his hand, why didn't he use that to kill Magua?
Having a horse fall on top of you might have something to do with it.
