Horse On Fire / 'Avatar'

Kanastrous · Post by **Kanastrous** » 2011-10-10 12:16pm

So a couple crewmates and I were talking about that shot from near the end of 'Avatar,' where the company mercs are laying the smackdown on the Na'vi and in the midst of the battle Neytiri sees a 'horse' fleeing through the forest, on fire. And we had this feeling that we'd seen that image -somewhere- before ('Avatar' drawing, after all, on a lot of different sources).

Anyone recall having seen that particular image, elsewhere, and if so, where?

I vaguely recall a shot like that from a western I saw when I was very young, but I cannot remember what western it was. If it helps any it was about a garrison being wiped out by "Indians". I think a stable was set on fire there....

But I was very young when I saw it so I don't know how good my memory holds up....

I remember seeing something like that in the Animatrix when it's talking about the machines fighting mankind.

That's a robotic Horseman of the Apocalypse, IIRC.

Part 2 of the Second Renaissance short of Animatrix, yes.

But I'm sure Animatrix took it from somewhere else too.

I remember this well, especially the stable, but like you I can't remember the specific film.

I remember it from the film/manga/novel Barefoot Gen, which is a memoir about the Hiroshima Bombing.

Yeah. It actually happened.

Has somebody got an image of the scene?

Well, not on fire, but made of water - when Elrond floods the Bruinen during FOTR and Gandalf makes the crests look like thundering horses.

Wow, you're right, that does remind me of something else. Damn that's going to be a brain bug now.

i'm wanting to say one of the old black beauty movies. something about a burning glue factory, but that last time i saw those i was like 5 or 6 so the memory's unreliable.

You sure you're not just recalling images from Ghost Rider in a different context?
