Some actors were unable to re-shoot their scenes and in some instances, scenes had to be quickly re-written and a few smaller roles even had to be re-cast. The re-shot scenes were shot even more quickly than the original scenes had been and with an even smaller crew and less equipment.

Although Col. William Tavington is supposedly "loosely" based on Col. Banastre Tarleton, there is probably more similarity than not. Both were equally bloodthirsty. On May 29, 1780, in Lancaster County, South Carolina, Tarleton led 200 men against 450 under the command of Col. Abraham Buford. Col. Abraham Buford offered to surrender and lay down their arms to Tarleton. Tarleton tricked Buford by offering the Colonials quarter, and when they laid down their arms, Tarleton ordered the British troops to attack without mercy. American casualties were 113 killed. This was known throughout the rest of the Revolution as "Bufords Massacre" and sealed the sentiments of the upper South Carolinian residents against the Loyalists and the British army, much as portrayed in the movie. In a conflicting account of the incident, Buford had rejected a proposal from Tarleton to surrender with the answer "Sir, I reject your proposals, and shall defend myself to the last extremity" - interpreted as an invitation to battle without quarter by Tarleton. The brave Virginian troops fought to the death while Buford, their commander, left them to their fate and fled. More Revolutionary War battles were fought in South Carolina than in the rest of the colonies combined.
c.
Although the movie was scripted, the scenes were often changed a great deal on the day of shooting to accommodate the location and actors that were available. Also, dialogue was changed to better fit the actors natural speech patterns.
