Fun fact, Heavens Gate contained so much animal cruelty, it’s one of if not the primary cause of the “no animals were harmed in the making of this movie” label we see in movies now a days. Among the list of terrible acts, they killed at least 4 horses, one of which was blown up with dynamite, and they gave many others PTSD. The wiki entry is eye opening.
Yeah that stuff is pretty grim. By all accounts Cimino was unleashed and unhinged on this movie. Some of the egregious scenes of animal cruelty were removed from later edits, for what it’s worth.
