Re: [RC] western endurance ride movie - Sullivan

Am I the only one who is not a fan of this movie?  In the movie, the
character Jan Michael Vincent
plays literally rides a horse to death....he keeps beating it as it attempts
to run
in the sand dunes, and it gallops, drops and dies all in slow motion.  Not
entertainment in my book.
Even if no horses were hurt in the movie, sure don't want to watch that.

I'll have to watch this.  Sounds like it was a good movie.

i watched a funny movie i had never seen before.  well, it is not a
comedy, but if you watch it, you will see what i am talking about. it
was made in 1975, is titled "bite the bullet", and is available on
vhs.   it features candace bergen, gene hackman, and james coburn.
it is based on the great endurance race of 1908.  it contains many
elements of the actual race, and there are some accurate depictions
of things that occur during modern day endurance riding, tailing, vet
checks, etc.  watch it just for fun.  i borrowed it from a friend of
mine.  he kept telling me about those horses in the movie being all
"lathered up".  it looks like they used shaving cream to get that
effect!  its a hoot!      ed
