Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the main character in "Hidalgo"?

Answer: Frank T. Hopkins

Frank Hopkins was born to a French father and Indian mother. He is played by Viggo Mortensen, a wonderfully skilled man who also portrays Aragorn, son of Arathorn, in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

2. The Ocean of Fire is a 4,000 mile race across the desert.

Answer: False

It is actually a 3,000 mile race across the Arabian desert, held annually for hundreds of years.

3. Hidalgo is a mustang.

Answer: True

At the end of the movie, there were hundreds of mustangs that were rounded up to be killed, Frank delivered the prize money so that they could be released. He also released Hidalgo. During the time that the movie was set, the mustangs were wild horses that were considered to have mixed blood, unlike thoroughbred horses.

4. What is Frank's Indian name?

Answer: Blue Child

He is called this multiple times during the movie, usually by the Indian chief.

5. "Nobody __________ my horse."

Answer: hurts

He says this as one of his opponents is on a trap, he then lassooes the switch and pulls it, sending the opponent to his death. This trap was set out to hurt Hidalgo, but Frank managed to get his opponent on the trap in order to kill him. The trap consisted of a bunch of spears sticking straight up from the ground, with a sort of cover over top of them. Falling into this trap would cause immediate impaling.

6. "Mister, you can say anything you want about my horse, but I'm going to have to ask you not to talk about me that way." Does Frank say this?

Answer: No

"Mister, you can say anything you want about me, but I'm going to have to ask you not to talk about my horse that way", is what he really said. He said this while in a bar, after winning the race at the very beginning of the movie. The man that he beat comes into the bar and begins insulting Hidalgo, so Frank punches him.

7. "They're not half bad, once you get past the ________."

Answer: legs

He says this after the locusts come and all die. He begins to eat them because there is nothing else to eat. He was told by the Sheik's daughter that they were a gift, not a curse.

8. Steven Speilberg directed the movie.

Answer: False

It was directed by Joe Johnston. He also directed "October Sky", "Jumanji", and "Honey I Shrunk The Kids", to name a few.

9. What was the punishment for "violating" the Sheik's daughter?

Answer: To have his manhood removed

He was handcuffed to a pole and they were going to cut off his most intimate part...a very painful punishment if you ask me. Luckily he escaped this punishment because of invaders in the camp.

10. Hidalgo fell into a pit and got a spear into which part of his body?

Answer: His right front leg

Frank proceeded to cut the spear out of Hidalgo, and cauterize the wound with red hot knife. I hope you enjoyed my quiz! Please feel free to message me with any questions/comments/constructive criticsm. Have a great day!
