Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film portrays the city of Concepción, Chile, as a warm, tropical, Third World small town. This caused a furor in Concepción, with people walking out of the theaters and others calling for authorities to ban the movies.
- GoofsThe city shown as "Concepción, Chile," at the beginning of the movie is nothing like the real location. Concepción is located along a river (the Bíobío), not a sea, and has a cold and rainy climate, many modern buildings (especially in the city center, where the cathedral is located), and no heavy industry. Additionally, the Chilean police uniform is dark green, with long jackets and boots and no beret, and Chilean police and Armed Forces personnel are not allowed to wear beards, only mustaches with superior officer approval.
- Quotes
Katherine Winter: In 1400 B.C., a group of nervous Egyptians saw the Nile turn red. But what they thought was blood was actually an algae bloom which killed the fish, which prior to that had been living off the eggs of frogs. Those uneaten eggs turned into record numbers of baby frogs who subsequently fled to the land and died. Their little rotting frog bodies attracted lice and flies. The lice carried the bluetongue virus, which killed 70% of Egypt's livestock. The flies carried glanders, a bacterial infection which in humans causes boils. Soon afterwards, the Nile River Valley was hit with a three-day sandstorm otherwise known as the plague of darkness. During the sandstorm, intense heat can combine with an approaching cold front to create not only hail, but also electrical storms which would have looked to the ancient Egyptians like fire from the sky. The subsequent wind would have blown the Ethiopian locust population off course and right into downtown Cairo. Hail is wet, locusts leave droppings, spread both on grain, and you have got mycotoxins. Dinnertime in ancient Egypt meant the first-born child got the biggest portion, which in this case, meant he ate the most toxins, so he died. Ten plagues. Ten scientific explanations.
- Crazy creditsThe opening logos are unique and blend into one another: a red Warner Bros. logo crumbles into dust to reveal a pink-tinted Village Roadshow Pictures logo, which in turn is obscured by clouds that part to reveal the Dark Castle Entertainment logo.
