Other mistake: It was dark outside, so the car that hit Pete was difficult to see, but it did not have the damage that would be expected. It appears the front end - including headlights - did not suffer obvious or major damage. The right side doors appeared to be dented, but that side did not hit Pete. The front windshield looked shattered but intact and the roof did not look damaged. A 3,000lb sedan colliding with a 1,000lb or so horse that hit and went over the hood and roof would be crushed.

Genres: Drama
Continuity mistake: The amount of "sweat" on Charley's T-shirt varies before/after his entrance into his house. While jogging, there is no visible sweat on his T-shirt, but there is sweat around the collar of his T-shirt when approaching the front door to his house. Once inside, Charley makes a "360" (turns completely around) at the door and his T-shirt is now wetter - around the neck and part-way down to his chest (V-shaped); his back also has a vertical oval-shaped area of wetness. As Charley approaches the refrigerator, the wetness on his back quickly disappears (the dark gray area becomes light gray like his T-shirt) and it looks obvious that it was being blow-dried (air was circulating underneath his T-shirt). Next, Charley walks to the sink, and there's a vertical line of "sweat" on his back and the wetness under his arms "grows" and becomes obvious. Real sweat makes a shirt cling to one's body, but this was not true for Charley's T-shirt. (00:03:12 - 00:04:04)
Trivia: Quarter horses, such as "Lean on Pete", are nicknamed "the world's fastest athletes" and are considered the world's most popular horse breed. They can (or should be able to) beat other breeds in quarter-mile (finished in 23 seconds) or shorter races. Speeds of 55 mph have been clocked - but only for short distances.
