 The director was kidnapped during a break in Post Production when he  went to Lima, Peru. The crooks wanted the money on his credit cards,  but the director explained that the cards were maxed out due to the  making of the film. Not believing the story, they resorted to  choking him with a chain, blindfolding him, and threatening him with  a gun pointed to his head. Eventually, he was let go, and the film  was completed.
