The Last Samurai

The Last Samurai stars Tom Cruise, Timothy Spall, Ken Watanabe, and Billy Connolly. Cruise portrays a U.S. Captain of the 7th Cavalry Regiment, and his personal struggles bring him into contact with samurai warriors in 19th century Japan.

While Cruise loves to learn new skills while shooting films, apparently he is not a seasoned horse handler. During one scene in which he is dismounting his horse during battle, his horse grows irritated and kicks another soldier in the stomach.
