Continuity mistake: When Chico phones Jane for a date, it cuts to both of them riding on the motorcycle. In these shots, Jane's hair is quite long and well past her shoulders, but when they arrive at Coney Island, Jane's hair is much shorter, not even reaching her shoulders. This happens again, when Chico picks up Jane at her house with the "borrowed" Packard, the back of Jane's hair is long, but when they get to the drive-in her hair is shorter. (00:18:25)

Suggested correction: It is true that the horse suddenly appears, but Jim is reclined on hay bales, not boxes.

Movie Nut

For future reference, this is what the "change the entry's wording" option is for.

This entry is about the sudden appearance of a horse. It has nothing to do with The Waco Kid reclining on boxes nor does the entry say he was reclining on boxes. It says that he's reclining on bales of hay.

It did say bales of hay - I've left the correction and "change wording" comment online for a bit for informational purposes.

The following shot shows the statues in that order, with the addition of third broken one in rightmost position. (00:34:15 - 00:42:15)
