Ok this is a horse movie. But nowhere the standard of Black Beauty (1994), my all time fav horse movie. I'm a horse person, so i love horse movies. I grew up with horses...

Poor Shergar. I loved the ending, even if it was a bit contrived.



Cut line is referencing Liam Neeson's Michael "I'll make a fookin army out of ye if ets the last ting i do." Collins :)

Plot: The IRA stole Shergar and hid him at David Warner's farm.

God help me i found a 58 year old farmer with a very dodgy oirish accent DED FOOKIN SECKSY. Especially when the IRA guys punched him up and bloodied his nose. Mmm.

Sir Iam Holm's accent, otoh, was impeccable, as was his acting, and he brought the whole second half of the movie up to snuff. Fantastic. Every movie cliche in the book, and a very contrived ending, but yes. I liked it, which doesnt mean much really.

Otherwise an unremarkable movie. Unless you want to see David as a farmer wearing fingerless gloves, cows shitting on Garda policemen, David fixing a tractor and grinding something metal in the garage, David drinking a huge amount of whiskey straight from the bottle when he finds out the IRA guys were coming to kill Shergar, and getting the shit beat out of him by an IRA guy. Oh, and he spends the second half of the movie being snatched in and out of cars and being shoved around looking really miserable.

I made a few icons.





I'd still shag him, yes. Right now this minute, and dirty. Even if he's an OAP this year.

Shergar isn't dead - he's living on a remote island somewhere with Amelia Earhart and Lord Lucan!

And he lives on in the form of the little foal walking behind the tinker's wagon at the end of the movie... Apparently he and the tinker's mare got it on at some point...
