Goofs Danny Trejos character lives in a hut in the dessert, but there is only one problem. Despite myth about how hot the dessert is, the dessert is quite cold at night and the hut he lives is wide open on the sides. Not only would this be very stupid, but he could also freeze to death, and so would Van Dammes Character, and there is no indication that he has another house, so this is a mistake. See more »
