It Began With An Oreo
Producer Jim Wilson battled with his bison to get them to stampede. There were 3,500 bison on the set, two of which were domesticated: “Mammoth” and “Cody.” Wilson claims that Cody was infatuated with Oreo cookies. ”You could be 100 yards away and bring out an Oreo, and he’d charge at you like a bullet.” During an interview, the host of The Red Green Show asked Graham Greene what he thought of Dances with Wolves. As a response, he said, “The native was in good shape. The film should have been nominated for an Academy Award.” Perhaps he should have been nominated for an Academy Award for his efforts to enhance the character. He inserted slippery bologna slices inside his sneakers to make Kicking Bird’s backache more convincing. That’s a lot of dedication to a job.
