Favorite underdog pump-up scenes, part 2

This is a continuation (finally) of a “series” started last month.

This month I bring you the most memorable scene from what is probably one of my favorite movies of all time. In this scene, our underdog hero, Jim, attempts to win the girl by winning her father’s approval…by winning a challenge to round-up the herd of brumbies (aka Australian mustangs) who have been terrorizing ranchers and trampling people because they’re led by a reckless stallion (see face-off at the end of the video: that’s him. p.s. he killed Jim’s dad! sort of). The hoarde of dudes in this video are all trying to round up the brumbies because they want the monetary reward, but JIM IS DOING IT FOR LOVE. At 2:27 you will encounter one of the best moments in all of horse film, as Jim and his horse show the slimy mob who’s really got the heart and hooves of gold. Cue the French horns!
