Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film was shot in Colombia with a mostly American cast who reportedly never interacted due to budget constraints. Carradine filmed his priest scenes in California.
The 1971 'real event' was likely the Lake Tellico 'Pig Dragon' hoax—basically a marketing stunt for a Tennessee town that somehow became this movie's 'inspired by true events' tagline.
