The top mistakes in Hidalgo http://www.moviemistakes.com/film4046 en Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:55:22 +0000 53053 The race ends at Damascus, which is nowhere near the ocean, yet is placed on the seacoast. 52767 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. 53716 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. 53052 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. 68344 In the scene where Frank and Jazira are trying to escape from the evil sheik, as they ride towards the gate to leave the town, the gate is closed and bolted, locking them in. The bolt is located on the outside of the gate, facing the desert, instead of inside the gate to protect the town.
