Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the race that Frank is going to compete in?

Answer: Ocean of Fire

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

2. How long was the race?

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.

3. In the beginning of the movie, we see Frank in a race. It seems to be just him and another man. What is the name of the other man's horse?

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!

4. What is not one of the challenges Frank encounters during the race across the deserts?

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!

5. How many different horses played Hidalgo?

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!

6. What did the word musteno mean?

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.

7. What was the Sioux word for "Blue Child"?

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.

8. What is the Sioux word for horse?

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.

9. What is the name of the Sheikh's daughter?

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.

10. Who composed the music for this movie?

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".
