The Last Samurai
Warner Bros.

Proof, if ever it were needed, that horses are four-legged devils and should never be allowed any opportunity to take over the world...

As a battle takes shape, Tom Cruise appears valiantly on his mighty steed to rally the troops, dismounting among his men to deliver a toothsome and wonderfully haired inspiring speech to get their blood up and inspire them to lay down their lives for an ultimately doomed endeavour.

And just as he swings his leg off the animal's back, for some reason, the horse takes exception to the soldier standing immediately to his left flank. Or more specifically, to his genitals... So now we know why all the samurais died out then €“ extreme genital trauma.
