The Skinning Wasn’t Real
In the production, paper animals that appeared to be real were used. A humorous anecdote with phony animals and officers was told. The cops arrived after getting a call, believing that bison had been harmed. They arrived with their firearms drawn, ready to apprehend the poachers. The cops smiled as they walked away once everything was sorted out. Everyone seemed to be stuck in an awkward, yet hilarious, predicament.

Best Original Score
The score was written by John Barry, who previously composed music for the James Bond films (including the iconic theme song). “The John Dunbar Theme” and “The Love Theme” in Dances with Wolves earned Barry a lot of praise. In 1991, the film won an Academy Award for Best Original Score. Barry’s music was not only brilliant, but it was also the first cinematic score to employ synthesizers. He would watch the movie several times and note down any scenes that he believed needed more music or drama. Barry Academy Awards were given to Out of Africa, The Lion in the Winter, and Born Free.
