Factual error: The lightbars seen on the Mexican Federal Police trucks in Juárez are incorrect - they show both red and blue lights to the front, but actual MFP vehicles show only reds to the front. Also the uniform vests are in Portuguese, not Spanish - the accent is on the wrong "i."

Texijapi

Factual error: At the tunnel scene you see the "Delta" members using the single tube N.V.G. Delta has been using the standard binocular type for years now.

Movie Medic

Alejandro: You're asking me how a watch works. For now we'll just keep an eye on the time.

More quotes from Sicario

Trivia: Originally, Alejandro was meant to have much more dialogue, and his tragic origin would have been revealed earlier in the film. Actor Benicio Del Toro and director Denis Villeneuve ended up agreeing that the character worked better as a silent, mysterious type and that the revelation of his origin should occur late in the film. It is estimated that as much as 90% of his dialogue was deleted during rewrites.

Question: A major scene and gunfight take place right after the convoy crosses the border and is forced to stop in traffic. The members of the convoy scan the surrounding vehicles and find two filled with men carrying weapons in full view, not to mention the occupants looking like stereotypical gang members. How did those two cars cross the border in order to be in the same slow traffic - surely border control would have stepped in? How did they come to be there for the attempted ambush?

Answer: They haven't crossed the border yet, and the gang members were there to kill them. They had no intention of actually crossing the border.
