the horse



...did not get killed for the making of this movie, did it? I don't think Kim Basinger or Sean Connery would have allowed it.

Couldn't you tell that the leap was a terrible special effect?

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

Never heard anything about the horse dying. Especially on big budget films like this.

While the "jump" effect itself was terrible (I'm talking about the scene with Bassinger and Connery screaming - awful bluescreen or whatever it was), the horse falling into the water was REAL. In fact, I recall reading this movie forced future productions to put a disclaimer noting that no animales were harmed in filming.

Definitely the best part of the movie. First thing I thought was "Dang JB just said F the horse!". LOL. Can horse swim? I hope not. Makes for a better James Bond moment if it did die.

That would be absolutely horrible for a beautiful horse to die just for the sake of a couple of minutes in even a James Bond film!!!

I know traditionally in movies the lives of animals were sacrificed for realism; but No.....it would not have made for a better James Bond moment!!

I hope the horse made it out of the water, alright, though.

me to. that was a cruel thing to do to the horse

reply

I read now that the horse indeed DID survive. I hate this movie now, because of the animal cruelty, just for the sake of shooting one scene.

reply

You see the horse after the jump swimming away.

The British censor cut the scene when it was released, which just makes the scene look badly edited.

"Perhaps he's wondering why someone would SHOOT a man before throwing him out of a plane..."

Would be cool to see a horse kick Connery in his mantits.

reply

I believe the horse was landing in the water was shown in cinemas but received complaints and the scene was cut for video and T.V

reply

I hope the horse did die! Horses are stupid and don't deserve to live.

reply

As mentioned above, you clearly see the horse swimming out of the water.

But I was rather shocked because it was a long way down and would have traumatised it. But I don't know if it really jumped or if it was a special effect.
