    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Viggo Mortensen purchased the horse who played the title character (T.J.) after this film was completed.
    • Goofs
      When Frank is telling Jazira about his Native American background, he says that "shunka wankan" is Sioux for "big dog". The people of this tribe prefer to call themselves "Dakota" or "Lakota", as "sioux" is a word meaning "snake" and was given to the Lakotas by the Crows (enemies of the Lakotas).
    • Quotes

      Frank T. Hopkins: Mister... you can say anything you want about me. I'm gonna have to ask you not to talk about my horse that way.

    • Crazy credits
      The film begins with a "Touchstone Pictures presents" credit, and the logo only appears at the end.

    Terrific film!
    Viggo Mortensen is terrific, Omar Sharif is terrific, and the horse, whose name, I believe is J.T. in terrific! And I heard that Viggo loved the horse so much, he bought him. And he rode him to the premier (sp) of the movie. I think Viggo Mortensen is absolutely gorgeous. He's also a painter and a poet. I think this explains his soft-spoken way. He seems like a very sensitive man and this is what I like. I generally see a movie for the stars in it and not particularly the story, which in this case was breath-taking. I also love an animal storyline and this was one. Reminds me of the times years ago when films were of the type you could take your kids to. Bravo HIDALGO!!!!!!
