 The scene where Michael Douglas (I) (qv) takes his trip to the  California border crossing to discuss drug interdiction took place  at the Tijuana crossing. The video and sound quality is so low in  part because it was never supposed to be part of the movie. Douglas  started asking, out of character, Rudy M. Camacho (qv) about drug  trafficking on the border. Camacho was, at the time, the actual  Customs chief in charge of the California border crossings.  Soderbergh began filming it with a handheld camera, praying that  Camacho wouldnt address the actor as "Mr. Douglas".
