Amazing response. Thank you NotoriousRio!

Have fun and let us know what you thought of it!

A fantastic film, the opening short was amazing, I expected more monkeys though!

I agree with your score and give it a 8.5/10 too.

Fun fact? The actual, historical Lope de Aguirre was probably even more of a dick than what's shown in this film. If you can read Spanish (or German, which is the only translation I could find), I highly recommend Arturo Uslar Pietri's novel El Camino de El Dorado, which is also based on his story.

Very interesting. Unfortunately I can't read either, but it sounds excellent. Perhaps it's time for me to load up Duolingo?

Thanks!

fun fact, in the documentary "mein liebster feind" by the director werner herzog, he sais that the indians offered to kill kinski, but he refused.

I will definitely watch this! Clever as always, Einstein!

In a documentary I heard Herzog say Kinski got drunk one night and fired a rifle into one of the tents and injured a native. Also at one point Kinski threatened to quit and Herzog told him if he did, he would kill Kinski and then commit suicide.
