i saw this a a child a loved it . it be a great story but it do have some continuity problem represent 1. monk and lt. start off go to quincy with three horse . one with empty saddle . who it for . quincy . 2. go cross country ( on map ) to a creek and then tie up the horse and leave them . 3. go up the creek to quincy chickee and leave the horse . 4. monk hoot for quincy and say that will bring him out and whereas cutaway scene show cooper already emerge from bush 5. next scene show cooper come out like he just hear the guide . 6. the eagle be great and but instead of the two mention and the last shot show a third one come down for his treat . 7. cooper and party leave for taylor hq which be northeast of where they leave the horse . they arrive at hq on horse . where they get them since they leave the original three tie up mile south of there . 8. monk and the old trapper and wear a totally incongruous buckskin outfit . can you imagine that and a coonskin hat in florida heat . 9. the uniform be ok and if a little to western . taylor and the other officer be correctly dress for the period . later the brigade soldier at the end be totally dress correctly for the period . 10. rifled musket be not correct for the period . this be 1840 and a state and but the u army do not start use percussion cap rifle musket until 1842 and even these then be conversion of exist flintlock and not the nice post civil war carbine show and which and by the way and be issue to cavalry and not infantry . 11. the revolver cooper and everyone else us be 1870s era colt with brass cartridge not the early era one with paper cartridge and cap . at least they could have use 1844 model colt . 12. at the arsenal in the fort they discover european musket . well and golleee . these be spanish men . 13. the seminole look great even though they do not look like that in 1840. the headdress and paint be correct . 14. do you ever notice how the seminole be always run after the expedition and which be walk and but never seem to quite catch up . 15. the spanish plantation owner seem to disappear about halfway through the movie . 16. the swamp grass fire be a little weak . the seminole could have easily jump through the gap show . 17. in the gator scene and you can see the rope pull the fake alligator along . 18. after fall into and come out of walk through the swamp and marie alden dress and cloth be not wet at all . in spite of all this it be a great story and well act by everyone . the drill the soldier do be very well do unlike most hollywood epic .
