:13:01
in the script, there was a scene on
a glacier at an altitude of 17,000 ft.
:13:07
A huge procession of altitude sick
pigs advances towards you.
:13:12
Only later would you realize that
this was part of a Spanish army...
:13:18
...of adventurers, accompanied
by 800 or a 1000 indian auxiliaries.
:13:28
All this was cut from the script.
:13:30
Nevertheless, Kinski arrived
with half a ton of alpine equipment.
:13:37
He brought tents, sleeping bags,
crampons and ice axes.
:13:46
He badly wanted to expose
himself to wild nature...
:13:50
...but had some rather insipid
ideas about it.
:13:53
Mosquitos were not allowed in
his jungle, neither was rain.
:13:57
After establishing him in his tent,
it started to rain and he got wet.
:14:05
So, he immediately had one of
his raving fits during the first night.
:14:09
The next day we built a roof of
palm leaves above his tent.
:14:17
Still discomforted, he moved
into the hotel of Machu Picchu.
:14:23
At the time, there was only one
hotel with eight rooms.
:14:27
There was nothing here either...
:14:29
...except for a single hut
where I used to sleep.
:14:35
A native indian woman lived there.
:14:39
A hunch-backed dwarf
with nine children.
:14:41
She also had 100-150 guinea-pigs,
which were there to eat.
:14:47
At night they crawled all over me,
and that was uncomfortable.
:14:51
So, I moved in with the indians.
450 indians from the highlands...
:14:56
...from an altitude of 15,000 ft.,
who stayed in this big barn.
