Trivia
The entire prophecy spoken by the Oracle girl comes true; including being "reborn" from mud and earth; as once he escapes from the sinkhole, Jaguar Paw emerges black (like the Jaguar) turning the tables on his pursuers, becoming their hunters, and no longer the quarry. See more »Goofs
Anachronisms: The buildings in the city co-mingle architectural styles from three separate Mayan civilizations: Tikal Classic Maya (800 CE), Puuc (c.1050 CE), and El Mirador, a Pre-Classic metropolis that existed around the year 1 CE. If they wanted to portray Aztecs, this was definitely not their architectural style. If they wanted to portray Mayans, those civilizations disappeared long before the arrival of European ships.
