“The jaguar was completely wild. They can’t be trained. People thought that thing wasn’t in the shot. They thought we put the jaguar in later, but it was actually chasing the guy. It was on a leash, on a line, and you could put brakes on him if you needed to,” he explained.

Gibson shared, “This film was 8 months of shooting. It was scheduled for 4 months of shooting. We got rain when it was supposed to be the dry season. We had animals, children, a jungle, incredibly difficult setups, make-up and wardrobe, and all that stuff. When you’re dealing with 800 extras you’re getting them in stages throughout the day.”
He then explained the research he did to make his film more realistic, “There’s a lot of books around. There’s a lot of evidence being unearthed as we worked. They were a whole different color scheme and we changed it. Some of the stuff was so cryptic when you looked at it… you couldn’t quite make it out. We had to make things a little bit more readable. One’s eyes don’t just adjust to that unless you lived in that culture.”
