Production
The character of the High Priest is portrayed by the Captain Ochre puppet from Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. In a scene deleted from the completed episode, Joe puts on the attire of the Child of the Sun God following the High Priest's demise and unveils himself to the Amaztecs, promising the people peace and prosperity. He is similarly dressed in the surviving closing scene set in Weston's WIN office. The scene in which Ataka presents a bowl of poison as an offering to Huitzilopochtli was originally shot as the opening of the episode, but was re-positioned during post-production. During the filming of the High Priest's fall into the chasm, the puppet lost the back of its head when it hit the set.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“... this dream that men shall cease to waste strength in competition and shall come to pool their powers of production is coming to pass all over the earth.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.”
—Gus Hall (b. 1910)
