Ascotrudgeracer Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 A great film, we all love it, BUT there are no flowing sources of water in the middle of a Mexican desert, especially on top of a mountain...NOPE! Gold mining in any desert never uses thousands of gallons of water to extract or separate gold. Look it up. People on this board will reply with all manner of explanations regarding how they could have had all this water (while almost dying of thirst a few pages back and a few pages forward) but it is the one big mistake in an otherwise perfect film.

kimpunkrock Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 interesting observation. Film is mostly a lot of suspension of disbelief and that would probably go here. I will have to re-watch it to see how much water they say is on that mountain. If I can remember right they cart water to their dig site from somewhere.
