2* The war scenes, the gas attack in the German Trenches, Joey getting tangled up in barbed wire and the horses jumping over the German Lines in the forest without their riders during the [[spoiler: failed British cavalry charge.]]
3* 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.
4* One production, during a war scene, in dim lighting, the puppeteers ''flung off'' their horse puppet to create the effect of a carcass violently hitting the ground as the puppeteers, dressed accordingly to the time period, take their place a individual corpses of soldiers. The effect is as uncanny as it sounds.
