Movie Trivia/Goofs

Movie Goof (continuity error): The sloth's head is initially at the man's right shoulder, but then on the left in the next cut. This happens twice.
The elderly priest sometimes seen traveling in the background is actually Daniel Berrigan, S.J. He is a well known Jesuit priest and professor who, along with his brother, is known for his work in human rights and social justice. He has one line in the film: He says "no".
Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): In the scene in which the young Guarani boy sings heavenly, but Cabeza calls him an animal nonetheless, Father Gabriel gives a speech in the boy's defense. The gathering's reaction is first observed, but as the image briefly cuts to Gabriel, it is visible that his lips do not move, even though he is not through with his speech yet.
Chuck Low was dubbed by Fred Melamed. Low is a friend of De Niro's and has played supporting roles in many of his films.
