Continuity mistake: Near the end of the race, Hidalgo collapses and there is blood in his nose. Then, when Hidalgo has gotten up and is running full out towards the finish line, there is no blood there at all. In the next shot, there is a pinkish trickle of blood that goes about to Hidalgo's chin.

Plot summary
Directed by: Joe Johnston
Starring: Viggo Mortensen, Omar Sharif, Louise Lombard, Zuleikha Robinson
