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:
“The production of obscurity in Paris compares to the production of motor cars in Detroit in the great period of American industry.”
—Ernest Gellner (b. 1925)
“The problem of culture is seldom grasped correctly. The goal of a culture is not the greatest possible happiness of a people, nor is it the unhindered development of all their talents; instead, culture shows itself in the correct proportion of these developments. Its aim points beyond earthly happiness: the production of great works is the aim of culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
