Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Marcello Avallone also made 1987's Specters, establishing his niche as Italy's answer to 'what if Indiana Jones but everyone dies horribly.'
The film borrows liberally from actual Mayan cosmology while mangling it for exploitation purposes—archaeologists still wince at the 'witch doctor' terminology.
