Thunderheart picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene when Crow Horse and Levoi are running from Coutelle and the "GOONS", they go off-road toward the stronghold. You can see in the grass the tire tracks from all the other takes. Especially as there is no reason any vehicle would leave the road at that place otherwise.

Suggested correction: Of course, the fish are dead. They were thrown out an upper floor window, and the bowl smashed onto the street. The man even picks one up and yells "murderer" after he sees it dead.
