The 2 Guys 1 Horse video (sometime known as Mr Hands) depicts a man engaging in a sexual act with a horse. The video is famous because the man in the video (Mr Hands) actually dies during the shooting of the video following a perforated colon. The 2 Guys 1 Horse incident allegedly took place in Washington State and was reported in the The Seattle Times, being amongst that paper's most read stories of 2005.
A documentary about the movie’s creation entitled ‘Zoo’ was released in 2007 and debuted at the Sundance Film Festival. Unfortunately, the documentary never achieved the critical acclaim that the original 2 Guys 1 Horse video enjoyed and was not a box office success.
The horse was an Arabian stallion named "Super Sam", which had apparently previously engaged sexual acts of this kind and was not injured during the ordeal. The 2 Guys 1 Horse camera man, a 54-year old Enumclaw resident, was later charged with trespassing, because the video was filmed on a third party's property. The Coroner's Office stated that Mr Hands "died of acute peritonitis due to perforation of the colon", and his epic death was "accidental".
Critic's View:
The performance of Mr Hands demonstrates a similar gritty determination to that seen by performers in BME Pain Olympics and Do Not Watch , yet it unfortunately lacks the aesthetic charm of a Tub Girl . In all, a powerful and thought provoking piece.
