Hidalgo (2004)

Corrected entry: During the last scene, when it showed the hundreds of horses running in the field, it appeared that there was a person holding on to a horse's tail and being dragged on the ground as the horse ran.

Correction: Lots of wide shots of all those horses here. A timecode or better description would be good, as I see no such person. Too vague.

Hidalgo (2004)

Corrected entry: When Frank is handcuffed to the pole after he is yelled at for having Jazira in his tent and the people come and attack the place where they are, there is a shot of Jazira trying to help him out of the cuffs. When they show his hands, it is so obvious that they are not his real hands. They look much younger than Frank really is. There are other scenes where you see his hands and they are completely different. How difficult is it to use the same actors hands for a single shot?

Correction: The short shot used is from the side, in heavy shadow. Determining the age of the hand's owner is just about impossible at normal speed (and even in slo-mo, not definitive).

Hidalgo (2004)

Corrected entry: When the evil sheik is about to shoot at Jazira and Frank, Frank shoots him first, in the hand. The shot would have made him drop the gun, not take the time to throw it off to the side.

Correction: No 'time' is taken at all. He is aiming a rifle using two hands. The shot hits his left hand, he winces in pain as he yanks his hands outward. The rifle drops down and slightly left. It is not 'thrown'.

Hidalgo (2004)

Corrected entry: The first rider to fall out of the race has a horse that trips and skins its "knee". The rider then kills it and kisses it near the eye. The horse blinks several times. (00:45:15)

Correction: The fake 'dead' horse never blinks. Note the distorted lip and open mouth that never moves - that would take some unique training if the horse were real and alive.
