The Last of the Mohicans/Fridge

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • At the end, Hawkeye holds the other Hurons at bay with his rifle so that Chingachgook can fight Magua. But if you pay close attention, you'll notice that he never had time to reload his rifle... meaning he threatened the Hurons with an empty gun. It works.
  • Magua's reaching out to Alice may have been a cynical ploy to show that he "tried" to save her. He clearly did not want to marry her as per the command of Sachem but if she died of her own free will, who can blame him?
  • Fridge Brilliance: If you pay attention to Hawkeye's guns in the last fight, you'll notice he didn't have time to reload his rifle since the last time he fired it. That means he held Magua's men at bay with an empty gun.
