| Notes |
| Also Known As: Mel Gibson's Apocalypto (USA) (promotional title) (more) Filming Locations: Catemaco, Veracruz, Mexico (more) Trivia: In casting, it was important to Mel Gibson that he and Farhad Safinia find actors that matched the archetype each character represented. For instance, Rudy Youngblood struck Gibson as fitting the mythic archetype of a hero. Gibson saw that as necessary to allow people to identify with the film, since the movie's context is unfamiliar to most viewers, being in a foreign language and concerning an indigenous culture in the 16th century. (more) Goofs: Continuity: The "sick" girl's facial wounds change color and shape. At one point, when she is staring forward, the wounds are inverted--most notably the one on her chin. (more) Quotes: Zero Wolf: [Tree is cut down and almost falls on slaving party without prior warning] Hey, I am walking here! (more) Awards: Nominated for 3 Oscars. Another 5 wins & 12 nominations (more) Movie Connections: Referenced in "Saturday Night Live: Matthew Fox/Tenacious D (#32.7)" (2006) (more) |
