Trivia The shipwreck in Puenta Arenas (Chile) is what remains of the SV Lord Lonsdale, built in 1889. It was hulked in 1909 after a cargo (coal) fire. It is not known how it ended up beached at this location at some point in the 1940s. See more »
Goofs When the film goes to Coober Pedy (Australia), Herzog shows a film prop which he describes as the "remains of a Hollywood intergalactic space craft" and a "wreck from 'Star Wars'". It is actually from the film Pitch Black (2000), abandoned there around twenty years earlier. See more »
