😿😿
Edition screened: Arrow Blu-ray, released 2019. Italian language with English subtitles or original English dub. Runtime approximately 98 minutes.
Summary: Cruel physical abuse to a horse.
Details: Depiction of a galloping white horse being shot, then tumbling body-over-head, then lying to appear very dead, 19:38-19:45.
I suppose this could be a stunt performed by the world’s most well-trained horse, but it sure looks like the horse was taken down with a trip wire and seriously crippled or killed in the fall. The situation is made worse by the outlaws who “shot” the horse coming to the animal’s body, lifting its tale, and making a crude joke about its rectum.
