What's left behind the scenes

All the "magical" devices made for the film were stolen after filming ended. Those currently held by director Guillermo del Toro are simply copies.
The role of Jesus Gris was originally written for Max von Sydow.
The plot stipulated that the Angel was to speak fluent Spanish. It turned out, however, that the actor playing the role could speak Spanish, but his speech could not be used in the film, so the script was rewritten and the character was made a US emigrant who hates Mexico and his own presence there so much that he deliberately speaks poor Spanish – a language he barely knows.
Two guards were deliberately made somewhat caricatured. Guillermo del Toro later said he did this in retaliation for numerous Hollywood films in which Mexicans are depicted schematically and stereotypically.
The Alchemist at the beginning of the film bears the surname Fulcanelli. Under this name lived one of the most famous alchemists of the late 19th – early 20th centuries, who mysteriously disappeared without a trace in the 1940s and was never seen again.
The filmmakers were allocated a budget of $1.5 million, but they exceeded it, and the budget reached $2 million (at that time this was the most expensive Mexican film in production). The director, Guillermo del Toro, scraped together half a million himself by taking out loans, Ron Perlman agreed to a significant reduction in his fee for filming, and since then Perlman and del Toro have become close friends who have repeatedly worked together.
At the beginning of the film, the viewer sees a 'No Parking' sign. These signs with inscriptions in Chinese, Spanish, English, Arabic, and Russian were created specifically for the 1980 Moscow Olympics. The text refers to Eje Central Lazaro Cardenas, one of the central streets of Mexico City, where the Palace of Fine Arts and the national bank are located.
