Audio problem: During the ambush of the British troop, as some of the soldiers take their first aim, it cuts to some Hurons running downhill. If you look in the lower left corner of the screen you can see a Huron firing without us hearing it.

Deliberate "mistake": Rhododendrons, visible in the opening scene and mentioned specifically in the shooting script, do not grow in the Adirondacks.

Continuity: During the scene at General Webb's office things on the desk appear and disappear and change places, like a glass, a water bottle, a candle, etc.

Continuity: During the walk to Fort William Henry, at one point, Uncas, the true Mohican son, turns to look at Alice who is struggling and his earring is in his right ear. During the rest of the movie, the earring is in the left ear.

Audio problem: Shortly before jumping through the waterfall, Hawkeye says to Cora, "If we go there's a chance there won't be a fight." However, if you watch Hawkeye's mouth, the audio doesn't match his lip movements.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where the three Mohicans have leapt through the waterfall, when Uncas and Hawkeye are pulling Chingachgook out of the water, you can see a man climbing a rock behind them, as they move apart slightly.

Continuity: When the canoes go down the cataracts the waterfall where they are actually shown going down in close-up is a much smaller one than the one shown in the panorama shot before.

Continuity: In the scene where the Mohicans chase after Magua to save Alice, just after Magua kills Uncas, Alice walks onto the outcropping with Magua. As she stands there you can see rain beginning to fall. A peal of thunder echoes along with the scene. As she turns and leaps off the outcropping we see a shot of her from below showing a nice blue sky and the sun shining.

Continuity: In the scene when the Huron chief is talking and Duncan is translating he is translating faster than the chief can talk.

Continuity: When the people are marching out of the fort the same shot of Madeleine Stowe looking back over her shoulder, with a characteristically tattooed man in the background, is repeated 10 seconds later.
