Hidalgo (2004) - 4 major mistakes
Directed by Joe Johnston, starring Omar Sharif, Viggo Mortensen (add more)
Continuity: Near the end of the race, Hidalgo collapses and there is blood in his nose. Then, when Hidalgo has gotten up and is running full out towards the finish line, there is no blood there at all. In the next shot, there is a pinkish trickle of blood that goes about to Hidalgo's chin.
Continuity: In the final leg of the race, after Frank has taken the saddle off of Hidalgo, there are many shots of Frank riding Hidalgo. In one of the slightly wider shots that shows Frank, Hidalgo's back, and Hidalgo's neck, you can see the back of an English saddle under Frank's butt, even though he's supposed to be riding bareback.
Factual error: The sand dune scenery prominent in most of the movie is nothing like the real scenery along the route of the race - there are no significant sand dunes.
