Day 22: They brought it back....A monster with a taste for flesh!!!!
My pick for today is......
The preparation of the fictional elixir given to John Whitney by the Amazon tribesmen, and the ceremony surrounding it, strongly parallels the real-life consumption of ayahuasca, a psychoactive tea used religiously by numerous Amazon tribes.
The giant monster-head gate through which the Superstition exhibit is entered is an actual-size replica of the Orcus gate at Parco del Mostri (Park of the Monsters) in Bomarzo, Italy.
Harrison Ford was director Peter Hyams's first choice for the lead role of Vincent D'Agosta (played by Tom Sizemore).
During the post-production process of the film, Paramount kept Stan Winston's Kothoga creature under wraps much like Universal had done with Jurassic Park (1993), with no one permitted to talk about the production or the creature itself.
The appearance of the Kothoga creature was purposely left till the last half of the film because Stan Winston's creature was not completed in time for the scenes requiring the visual and physical presence of it on set. It was also one of the reasons the film was delayed until the winter of 1996/97.
