** AccidentalNightmareFuel: In the movie, after Joey finishes getting tangled up in barbed wire and he is lying on the muddy ground, there is a lightning flash and for a single frightening moment, you can see what appears to be a SlasherSmile on his face. It's really a normal horse expression, but it still looks rather scary.

** The scene after the British cavalry charge the German camp and the heavy guns open up. All these horses are charging right past the guns, you don't see a single rider on any of them, and as sad as it is all you can do is start laughing about what incredible shots those Germans are. Must be horse lovers. (Note: Horses are huge targets compared to the men riding them, and a dead horse=a wounded and/or ineffective cavalryman.)
** Watch that scene again. And the next one. A few hundred cavalrymen on their horses are in the charge. Maybe two dozen riderless horses run past the guns. Now, here's the scary part. If guns shot the horse, what are the odds the rider will survive to the enemy lines? In fact, the very next scene shows both horses and people lying dead and strewn all over the field and away from machineguns. See nightmare fuel bellow.
