Equestrian antics, "True Lies"
Credit:Zade Rosenthal/Lightstorm Entertainment
In perhaps the most ludicrous set piece of James Cameron’s career (and that’s meant as a compliment), Arnold Schwarzenegger’s spy borrows a mounted policeman’s horse to catch up to a motorcycle-riding terrorist on the streets of Washington D.C. The chase continues into the lobby of a swanky hotel and onto glass elevators to the hotel’s roof, where the horse refuses to follow the motorcycle into a nearby rooftop swimming pool.
The scene was later lampooned in “Adaptation,” when hacky screenwriter Donald Kaufman (Nicolas Cage) claimed an identical chase symbolically represented the eternal struggle of “technology vs. horse.”
