Corrected entry: In the scene where Jaguar Paw's wife is stuck in the cave, 2 animals are fighting and one falls into the cave. These animals were Tasmanian Devils and are only found in the island Tasmania off the coast of Australia.

Apocalypto (2006)
Corrected entry: Even though the entire tribe was taken captive at the beginning of the film, when Jaguar Paw returns home he is able to kill the bad guy using the trap that killed the wild boar in the beginning. In the interest of safely, it is unlikely that such a dangerous trap would be left set all the time, and the men of the tribe were not out hunting at the time of their capture. Further, it is doubtful that one man would be able to set such a trap by himself, especially in the amount of time shown, so it is unlikely that Jaguar Paw found the trap sprung and set it up all by himself.
Correction: Since OSHA didn't exist at this time, I don't think they were too worried about "safety on the job." They were probably more concerned with catching enough food to survive. They'd leave the traps set to increase their chances of catching more tapir. The hunters knew where the traps were and what the catches looked like; their chances of getting hurt were pretty low.

Apocalypto (2006)
Corrected entry: The journey of captured people and the war party, brings them on the right side of a river (looking downstream), and they proceed crossing it from right to left. Later, on his journey back home, Jaguar Paw jumps into a waterfall and swims out on the opposite bank again crossing this river from right to left, and yet soon we learn that he is back in his neck of the woods, despite the fact that he crossed two rivers.
Correction: Rivers can divide up and rejoin themselves. Jaguar Paw took a much different route home than the one he left by. It's a big jungle.

Apocalypto (2006)
Corrected entry: After Jaguar Paw is captured and tied up by the raiders, he looks over towards the hole and the man he killed. When a guard goes over to check the man, you can see that the "dead" man is very obviously breathing.
Correction: So Jaguar Paw didn't kill him outright, he just knocked him unconscious. If the man isn't dead yet, he is certainly in the process of dying.
