Last of the mohican - another version?
 

I maybe have dreamed it but I remember I scene where Hawkey and M. Stowe where traped in a hut, than both of them stepped outside where Hawkeye pretended to shoot M. Stowe burried her in a shallow grave then left the place. The surrounding Indians how only had interest in M. Stowe left too.
Hawkeye returned, dig her up and they both go met with the rest at the waterfall-Cave.

I am not exactly sure where I saw that, maybe in a plane, or in german cinemas. but I never so that version again.

Anyone saw that version too??

You are dreaming. Never happened in any version.

Nope. Never seen a version of the movie where Hawkeye pretends to shoot at Cora.

Hows the current Director's Cut barebares release with DTS sound?

The current DTS release has decent anamorphic picture (as opposed to the initial non-anamorphic version) and great 5.1 sound to boot.

It would be nice Fox would release the theatrical cut as I think it's the superior version of LOTM.

Not only that, but there was a Masterpeice Theatre version of the Mohicans that was made for PBS, that I used to watch decades ago. featuring an opening narration by the recently deceased Alistar Cooke. I would love to have that version also if it ever was to come out on DVD that is.

I also agree that the theatrical cut is better than the director's cut. I'd buy a theatrical version if they released it...

Me too.

That's pretty wicked. Doesn't seem much like Last of the Mohicans. But it sounds like a good scene. I'd like to know what movie it's actually from.

Hawkeye... my favorite Avenger
 

Well, if it's featuring Hawkeye, I'd hazard a guess (and it's kind of out of left field)...

M*A*S*H?

Yeah. No. Sorry.

I'd sell my Director's cut in a heartbeat if they ever released the theatrical version, which is vastly superior.

Every single change in the director's cut except for 1 (the deletion of the "serious disagreement" line) really hurts the movie, IMHO.

Are there any other region releases for Last of the Mohicans which retains the theatrical version along with the DTS sound? I really want to get this release, but of course do not want the Director's Cut.

No.

I like to see the original song 'I will find you' put back in the scene of the movie where Hawkeye was looking for Cora. Why did they take that song out and put in the generic sound?

Probably because it's the only piece of music with vocals in the movie. It's seems out of place.

Regions 2 and 4, however, do have the theatrical cut available. Anamorphic, no less.

I get the sense that Michael Mann vastly prefers the director's cut, and that Michael Mann, in general, doesn't like to have multiple cuts of the same film packaged together (he wasn't involved in the initial 'Manhunter' disc, but part of his stipulation of the new one was that it not include the theatrical cut at all, even though Anchor Bay screwed the pooch on the original version of the theatrical cut; thus, there is no way to get the proper theatrical cut on DVD in R1).

really?! specifically where?

what's the difference in mann's cut and the theatrical cut?

so no chance of a R1 theatrical release then? :(

Guess it'll have to be the director's cut for me.

I'd like to see the silent version that featured Bela Lugosi as Uncas.

If anyone has a link to where I can purchase the theatrical cut with DTS please post it! I want this movie, but will not buy the extended edition.. I've heard bad things about it.

You cannot buy the theaterical version with DTS. You can buy the old theaterical version R2 (above poster says R4 as well - I am not sure about that though) but Dolby Digital.

I believe the theaterical version's video quality is poor, comparable or worse to the non-DTS directors edition that came out R1.

Someone should start a petition.

I hate how some of the best movies get the worst DVD treatments.

Probably because it's awful John Tesh quality new age crap music and it doesn't fit in the film.

and the R2:

Multi-region has been a given for me for so long now, it kinda boggles my mind that some tend to feel like 'it isn't out' unless it's in R1. Seriously folks, for minimal expenditure, you get a huge payoff. This is only one example...

This is a region 1 forum, so we discuss region 1 dvds. I am an advocate of multi-region players as much as anyone but there is a place for discussions of non-region 1 dvds (International DVD-Talk).

I was a bit disappointed in the DD 5.1 mix on the Director's Cut. It was a bit weak. Sounded mono at times. Because the movie was recorded in Dolby Stereo, not even Dolby Surround

After reading all the reviews and comparisons on the various releases and versions of the film, I've yet to see a "good" version. Each release suffers from its own shortfalls, albeit some fall much shorter than others.

Bottomline.... Is there going to be a new release to fix the existing problems with transfer of the original Theatrical version? If so, I think it'll be worth the wait. If not, I guess I'll just have to settle.

I want the theatrical version bad enough, so I'll probably go with the R2 DVD.

So which is the better version of the movie? The region 1 DC with DTS sound or the Region 2 Theatrical with DD5.1?

It all depends on which you value more: DTS sound or theatrical version.

Saw the Director's edition last night night, and have to agree with most people here. My old laserdisc version sounded alot stronger, and the "cut" scenes were sorely missed.

I just posted this in the forum concerning directors cuts, but my comments seem to fit more perfect in this forum about The Last OF The Mohicans. I can't agree more the laserdisc sounds much better. If you got 'em, hang on to 'em!

Posted under directors cuts.....
Since we are talking about directors cuts of movies, is it frustrating when a directors cut is the only version available on DVD? What comes to mind is The Last Of The Mohicans. My personal opinion is the dirctors cut is absolutely horrid and I am shocked that Michael Mann would consider the DVD the preffered cut of the movie. The DVD has some of the great music completely taken out, and the sound is nowhere close to the Laserdisc. I will be hanging on to my laserdisc, and have already sold the worthless DVD.
