Horse Violence
In one of the most terrifying scenes, Mongo knocks out a horse with a powerful punch. This appears to be one of the craziest strains of the imagination, yet it’s actually based on a true story! Brooks’ friend and occasional co-star Sid Caesar once said that he punched his wife’s horse in the head, knocking it unconscious. He did it to protect his wife, which may make it seem less horrible.

Real Reaction
Cleavon Little’s reaction to the legendary “you know… morons” phrase is a beloved and amusing scene in the film. But did you know? This wasn’t even acting! The truth was that Cleavon had no idea this phrase was coming, so it caught him completely off guard. The reaction you see in the film is his real-life reaction, completely spontaneous and unscripted!
