YMMV / Hidalgo

• Awesome Music: The soundtrack by James Newton Howard is nothing short but gorgeous. Special mention goes to "The Final Three" and "Let 'Er Buck".
• Complete Monster: Katib is the treacherous nephew of Sheikh Riyadh, and is working with Lady Davenport to sabotage the Ocean of Fire race. Launching a deadly raid to capture the Prince's horse, Al-Hattal, Katib abducts the Sheikh's daughter, Jazira, threatening to have her raped and beheaded if his demands aren't met. When Frank Hopkins rescues her, Katib swears to give him a slow, painful death and kills anyone in his way, even shooting a young servant boy dead simply for challenging him. Staging an ambush, Katib opens fire on several racers and runs Frank into a lethal trap that seriously injures his horse Hidalgo. When Frank's friend Sakr rescues him, Katib attacks them both, shooting Sakr dead right in front of Frank before trying to kill the latter.
• Tear Jerker:
  • Frank setting Hidalgo free to be with the other wild mustangs. Three words "Let'er buck...".
  • The on the first day of the race, a random horse breaks its leg and the rider is forced to stab it in the heart. You can see he's heartbroken over it.
