Geronimo (1962)
1 question
Directed by: Arnold Laven
Starring: Chuck Connors, Kamala Devi, Pat Conway, Armando Silvestre
Continuity mistake: The book Geronimo steals from the wagon train is red. When he gives it to his wife it is black.
Answer: In reality, the bullet probably would have hit the horse, injuring it. Movies tend to gloss over details like that to serve and simplify the plot. Older movies particularly fudged reality, assuming audiences would not notice or care. It is also possible that the bullet was somehow deflected or broke up upon impact.
