Kinski continually wreacked havoc on the set of Aguirre with his psychotic screaming fits. Irritated that cast and crew were making too much noise while playing cards during a break, he fired a gun at a hut, blowing the top joint off an extra’s finger.
At one point he threatened to abandon the production when Herzog refused to fire a technician he hated. Says Herzog: “I went up to him and said, ‘You can’t do this.’ I told him I had a rifle and that he’d only make it as far as the first bend before he had eight bullets in his head — the ninth one would be for me.” Kinski returned to the set.
