The Buffalo Hunt
Surprisingly, there were no special effects employed in the buffalo chase filming. A massive herd of over 3,500 buffalo galloped across the plains. If they were lucky, the crew would only get one chance to shoot the rush each day. “The trucks began herding the buffalo at five o’clock in the morning with the hopes of being in position by eleven,” producer Jim Wilson said. They employed a helicopter, 20 Jeep Wranglers, and ten pickup trucks with cameras attached to the film.
