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:
“From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
—Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
“The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“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)
