What's left behind the scenes
- The film was based on Che Guevara's memoir *The Motorcycle Diaries*, as well as notes by his friend Alberto Granado and materials obtained from his widow, Aleida March. 80-year-old Alberto Granado himself appears in one of the film's final scenes.
- The actor Rodrigo de la Serna, who played the role of Alberto Granado, is a distant relative of Che Guevara.
- When Ernesto and Alberto are in Temuco, Chile, and reading the local daily newspaper “El Diario Austral,” Alberto complains that his surname was misspelled. This newspaper is still published today and is the largest in Araucanía (an administrative region in Chile). During filming in Temuco, the newspaper published a report from the set and again, this time deliberately, made a mistake in Alberto’s surname.
- In reality, Ernesto and Alberto had a motorcycle made by the British company Norton Motors Ltd. with a 500 cubic centimeter engine. Restored Norton motorcycles were used in the filming, and modified Suzuki motorcycles (nicknamed “Nortzuki”) were used in the crash scenes. According to the director, the old Nortons worked like clockwork, while the modern Suzukis constantly broke down.
- Two scenes that were not in the script were included in the film, meaning they were improvised. There was no scene in the script of Ernesto and Alberto riding in the snow, nor was there a scene in Cusco.
- The basis for the film was Che Guevara's memoir "The Motorcycle Diaries", as well as notes from his friend Alberto Granado and materials obtained from his widow, Aleida March. The 80-year-old Alberto Granado himself appears in one of the final scenes of the film.
