Chaco Losojos: Who's to say? The only thing I know is we're gonna risk our lives to save those fuckers. Let's go see the Yacumo.
Trivia: The director, and several other crew members were arrested after the film premiered, because authorities believed that the footage in the film was real, and that the actors were really dead.
