Aguirre, the Wrath of God/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Ass Pull: When Inez walks away into the jungle, she suddenly wears a beautiful white and yellow dress we have never seen before. It seems rather implausible that she had it in her luggage all the time; but it has no bearing on the plot anyway.
  • Crazy Awesome: Herzog, just for having the guts to do the movie from beginning to end.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: The first collaboration between Herzog and Popol Vuh.
  • Cult Classic
  • Iron Woobie: Inez.
  • Signature Scene: Aguirre lecturing the monkeys on his plans to build a continental empire.
