Goofs

The mask Kathy buys is shown to have a hollow section on its lower back, except for the scene where the attempt is made to steal it at the outdoor market. Just before Miguel throws the firecrackers, Kathy says she likes her mask better and holds the mask with its back facing the camera, where it is clearly flat and solid. The hollow-backed prop returns for all subsequent scenes.

Quotes

Kelly Robinson: What's eating you, anyway?
Alexander Scott: Why, I don't know, man. Tensions or something. Y'know, it's as if, uh, it's as if a dead cat walked across my grave.
Kelly Robinson: Well, that's silly. How could a dead cat walk?
Alexander Scott: Well, that's what I mean. Causes tension just having me think about it.
