Trivia: When the Fratelli brothers are arguing, Anne Ramsey really does slap Robert Davi. She was told to use as much force as possible.
Trivia: The make-up to create the character Sloth took five hours to complete.
Trivia: This was Josh Brolin's film debut. He had over 300 auditions for various projects before finally landing his first on-screen acting gig for this film. Even before securing the role, he was asked back six times before finally being cast.
Continuity mistake: During the jail breakout, when Jake tries to open the ORV's door, in the shot facing Francis he is holding the gun in his left hand as he tries to open the door for his brother with his right hand. In the next shot facing Jake just before shouts, "I don't have the handle, open the lock!" Francis's gloved left hand is empty, and next shot, the gun can be seen in his right hand. (00:01:45)
Question: Heres something I never quite understood. Back in One-eyed Willie's day it seems they were Spanish speaking. What with the Spanish Armada and all. So why is it that the Treasure Map is written in Spanish, but rhymes in English?

Chosen answer: Well, his ship is hidden in America where the people spoke english, so perhaps it was done for the benefit of those who were most likely to find the map. Must have been his idea of a joke.Actually though, I'm betting it was the result of the filmmakers not thinking that through.
