THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This film was shot entirely on location in the rain forests of Mexico. As a result numerous weather problems hindered the production. Heavy rains caused flooding in the region where filming was taking places causing the film's release to be pushed back from an August release to a December release. The flooding also left almost a million people homeless, the cast and crew aided in food relief in the area.
• The hot and humid weather of the rain forest also were wreaking havoc on the digital cameras being used to film the movie. Special heat reflective blankets had to be placed over all of the cameras, and special thermometers were installed on the cameras themselves to constantly monitor the heat levels.
• Many of the extras in this film are local Mayans who have no acting experience.
• In the waterfall jumping sequence Rudy Youngblood performed his own stunt work. However instead of having him jump off the actual waterfall Mel Gibson put a harness on him and had him jump off a 15 story building and then digitally added the jumping footage onto footage of the waterfall. Gibson reportedly gave Youngblood a hard time about his reluctance to perform the stunt job, so he and the crew ganged up on Gibson and made him perform the jump as well.
