An avid horseman, Flynn watched horrified as the climatic charge scene take place. Lined with tripwires to cause the horses to fall over, 125 tripped but 25 were killed in the process or had to be put down. Furious over the mistreatment and how disinterested the director, Michael Curtis, really was, Flynn attacked at his "Captain Blood" director. They were pulled apart before any serious damage was done. Their relationship was changed and would only speak to each other when spoken on later films. But the charge sequence brought around changes in Congress to ensure animal safety on film and the ASPCA banned the usage of tripwire.
