I love all of this except for the part of the horse falling to its death...I have a soft place in my heart for animals..

[cerveral]

@DramaDon83 Well I'm agree with you, but let me tell you that no one horse was really harmed, Yul also loved animals so much.

Thanks for your comment!

Tony Curtis as a cossack. ? Ha ha ha. How come he dont have a scalplock?

Did the cossack brotherhood kick him out.

[cerveral]

@norb1937 Sorry for the delay, but you are right, Tony Curtis didn't looks like a cossak, but the movie's director didn't thought in that problem, and even Yul received more money to appear in second place in the roll, because Curtis asked to be the first. Hahahahaha

Call a Kozak a coward at your own risk. The "Gorge" is not the only way to address that insult. =Stefan=

@cerveral Dude, why were they jumping with the horses? Is it like a cossack challenge? Do u know if that has any historical basis? Thanks for the video :)

@cerveral My wife's great grandfather was a member of the Cossack brotherhood. And he had a scalp lock just like Brynner. He had three horses killed under him in eastern European battles.
