this be a wonderfully goofy example of a self produce and write and direct vanity project . while i be work a a crew member john carradine comment to me ( before the burning at the stake sequence ) represent this be the bad piece of sht i have ever work on . and i have work on a lot of piece of sht . also an interesting moment earlier when jim mitchum be have trouble with his line and start curse in the courtyard location of the santuario ( a religious shrine in chimayó ) at which point one of the local vato loco low rider onlooker growl . show some respect man and which apparently cause jim to remember where he be and a he then make a very profound and heartfelt apology for his inappropriate behavior . in any case the crew do the job on deferment and be never fully pay but come away with plenty of particularly bizarre story like the night we catch the producer or director 10 year old son entertain himself by construct miniature burmese tiger trap for u to break our leg in . like they say represent ya get ta love the biz .
