Hurricane Gold - La Avenida de Muerte

La Avenida De Muerte

The obstacles of the Rat Run that James and Precious compete in are as follows:

1. A small pool of savage baby crocodiles that will bite at the ankles of anyone who swims in their pool. This is conquered because James and Precious douse themselves with animal repellent before entering the pool.
2. A long path with holes along it through which sharp spikes shoot through. James and Precious conquer this by forming a human arch along the walls that allow them to walk across them out of reach of the spikes.
3. A tunnel of scorpions that must be accessed from the previous obstacle. James and Precious are able to climb over the top of this tunnel from their human arch and so don't even get a scratch from them.
4. A giant anaconda in a pit that will constrict the victims who have no choice but to jump into the pit and land on top of it. James and Precious conquer this by simply jumping over the pit from the top of the scorpion tunnel.
5. A path of metal plates that are being heated below by El Huracán's men, making them hot enough to fry almost anything. At the end is a small trench full of water and containing leeches so that the victim doesn't stay in the water long. James and Precious get around this by cutting inserts of thin metal sheets into the soles of their shoes so that they insulate their feet and prevent the soles of their feet from burning.
6. A path with a series of transparent, razor-sharp wires across it. There is also a black jaguar at the entrance that will attack anyone who doesn't traverse the path quick enough. James and Precious have no means of conquering this other than the practice on the beach beforehand.
7. A path containing a series of millstones, two spinning clockwise and the middle one spinning anti-clockwise, with three enormous grindstones to the left hand side of them that could crush the victim if they got too close. This is one of the few tasks that James and Precious could neither prepare or practice for, having to rely on speed and balance.
8. An enormous tank full of honey that is harder to swim through than water and is easier to drown in. James and Precious manage to beat this challenge by stripping down to their underwear so that no loose clothing can weigh them down.
9. A log covered with army ants suspended over a large pit of wooden stakes that will impale the victim if he/she falls, or chooses to kill themselves. James and Precious find this challenge the hardest of the lot, as they have to crawl along the log and put up with the biting ants while trying not to fall off.
10. The final challenge, known as One Death (Hun Came). A giant bull crocodile is kept in an enclosed chamber with no exit, which is the reason why nobody has ever escaped the Rat Run. James and Precious manage to escape the chamber by rigging up the door with dynamite the day before and detonating it from within the chamber, thus completing the Rat Run.
