Fun Fact:
When frightened, the Aztec warrior is able to shoot a stream of blood from its eye that may reach a distance of three feet. This defensive tactic, however, is ineffective against the inexplicable offensive capabilities of the European conquistador.
If you enjoyed this scene, I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you search out this movie. You have witnessed only the tiniest tip of the iceberg.
Some other things this movie has to offer:
1. Turning shit into gold.
2. A sex machine which gives birth to a baby sex machine when it reaches clmax.
3. Corporate decisions being made based on the moistness of a mummified woman's vagina.
4. People who get shot and then bleed sparrows.
5. Amputee midgets.
I just watched this again after years. It was my first Jodorowsky movie and spurned me to watch his small but powerful body of work.
I think he's one of the greatest artists of our time.
If you can track down the DVD that has his first feature, Fando y Lis, it comes with a documentary on him called Constellation Jodorowsky.
It's pretty essential viewing if you consider yourself a creative person and suffer any of the common terrors and insecurities that go with the territory.
P.S. that sparrow scene was re-used by another genius that only made seven films, Andrei Tarkovsky, in his last film "Nostalghia," which he partially directed from his deathbed.
