Secondhand Lions (2003)

Corrected entry: Throughout the movie Young Hub is shown riding a gray (white) horse. This is all fine and good except for the fact that the horse is an albino with no skin pigment and therefore no protection from the harsh glare of the Egyptian sun. All white horses bred in Africa have black skin for this reason, they could not survive otherwise.

Correction: This is not quite a mistake. The images of the story that Walt is being told are not flashback images. They are no more and no less than Walt's imagination. These scenes are filmed with a completely diferent style and color quality to help illustrate this. One evidence that these images are not to be taken as flashbacks is in the two different times that we see how Hub and Garth escaped from the dungeon of the Sultan. The first version Garth tells - where Garth tells how it was he who killed the guards - and the second version - where Garth can't even get his gun out until the end of the fight - cannot both be flashback. The special features on the DVD talk about these scenes specifically as being purely in Walt's head.
