Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn a February 2012 interview with the National Public Radio program "On the Media," the movie's creator, John Alan Schwartz, said that the scene that purports to show real tourists in Egypt killing a monkey and eating its brains was really filmed in a Moroccan restaurant in the US using Schwartz's friends as actors, foam mallets covered in concrete, a model monkey with a prosthetic breakaway head, a trick table, and cauliflower covered in theater blood for the brains. During that day of filming, the cauliflower had become rancid, but the actors decided to go along so it could add to their performances. The woman spitting it out wasn't scripted, neither was the laughter from the rest of the partakers.
- GoofsThe narrator refers to "the country of Africa". Africa is a continent.
- Quotes
Dr. Francis B. Gröss: This accident occured in an air show in the Western United States. The man plummeted to earth from 2,000 feet when his parachute malfunctioned. I wondered what thoughts went through this man's mind as he fell from the sky at 80 miles per hour. Doctors later informed me the man suffered a painless death or he had slipped into cardiac arrest before hitting the ground. After playing this action back in slow motion I disagreed. It appeared the sky diver struggled throughout the fall, trying in vain to prevent his destined outcome. This nightmarish death made me question the role of cautionary measures necessary to prolong life. After pondering this possibility I realized that no matter how cautious I am, if it's my time to die, it doesn't matter if I'm walking down the sidewalk or jumping out of a plane.
