Trivia
As a teenager, Mel Gibson was actually once called 'almost' by an older boy, which was a deep insult to him. This inspired the line in the movie in which Jaguar Paw is called 'almost' by one of the headhunters. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): (At 2:01:30) All three characters are staring in the same direction. As the camera dolly-zooms in to Jaguar Paw, the character behind him and on the right of frame is clearly following the camera such that by (2:01:33) he is no longer looking ahead but straight to camera off to his right hand side. Watch the whites of his eyes to confirm this. See more »Quotes
