Hidalgo Trivia Quiz

Answer: Ocean of Fire

The race crossed many different places, including Syria and Damascus; but then again, it was 3000 miles long!

Answer: 3000 miles

Three thousand miles is a very long distance, even for an endurance or long distance race. Since it was over deserts, that made it even harder.

Answer: Senator

Senator is a big fancy thoroughbred, and his owner voices his opinion about mustangs in the bar. "Mustangs don't belong in races with thoroughbreds. If you ask me, they belong in fertilizer." How rude!

Answer: Running out of food

Frank endures these hardships and some others. He survives all of them, though. He outruns the sandstorm on Hidalgo and takes shelter in an abandoned building. During the swarm of locusts, he lays down on the ground with Hidalgo and covers them both with a blanket. Frank (and Hidalgo) eat some of the locusts! Unfortunately, they also fall into a trap. Frank is unharmed, but Hidalgo gets a spear through his shoulder.

The good part is Hidalgo survives!

Answer: 5

To make all the horses look the same, a paint was made and then sprayed onto the other four horses by a person who was looking at the picture of the main horse. I believe the name of the main horse was Oscar. It didn't specify on the DVD, but I watched the news and they talked about it. Viggo Mortensen liked Oscar so much that he bought him!

Answer: Untamed

Lady Anne says this after Frank tells her Hidalgo's breed. Frank said, "That's right." The mustangs were brought over by the Spanish and ended up running wild out west.

Answer: Hokshelato

Frank's grandmother named him Hokshelato, as she was a Sioux. Frank doesn't say why she named him this, he simply says that she did.

Answer: Shunka Wakan

Even though shunka wakan is the Sioux word for horse, it actually means big dog. When the Indians saw the horses, they didn't know what they were. So, the Indians ended up calling them big dogs.

Answer: Jazira

Jazira is very headstrong and she tries to help Frank win. She does this because she doesn't want the Prince to win on her father's horse, Al-Hattal. If he does win, she will have to become his fifth wife. Jaffa is the name of one of her father's servants. Kuzma and Camria are the names of two of the horses in the race.

Answer: James Newton Howard

He did a good job, too! James Newton Howard also composed music for the movie "Dinosaur" as well as "Space Jam". Klaus Badelt did the music for the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", Hans Zimmer did the music for "Pearl Harbor" and "The Lion King" to name a couple, and John Kander did the music for "Chicago".
