Corrected entry: In the scene where D'Leh kills the mammoth, he throws a spear at it which sticks in quite far and does not droop. A throw from a man would not pierce a mammoth's skin very deep if at all and when the second spear is in the mammoth, the first is nowhere to be found. As for the second spear, even if its rough wooden frame didn't snap under the force of several tons of tough skinned mammoth hurtling into it at a severe angle, it did not hit an area, nor did it go deep enough to damage any vital organs. Had it been a steel shafted razor edge, it may have gone right through the sternum into the upper chest cavity, where it still wouldn't hit a vital organ. And even though the fall drove the spear into a potentially life-threatening position, the mammoth would not have fallen, negating the death in its entirety. (00:15:05 - 00:15:45)

Correction: Most of the mistake is conjecture, but even if not, some suspension of disbelief is required. Just as most cars in an action movie would be destroyed in a jump, we have to accept a hunter killing a mammoth as artistic license.
