In the 4th You Tube link is the Arce Family Tree (all shown before 3 minutes), made with rocks... shown after Damian explains to 'Arce' how he learned about the family history in a book by Harry Crosby... Love it!

Thanks for finding this Ken... Cool for those who haven't seen the classic Baja cult film!

I wonder how much of this film is fiction and how much is non-fiction? It almost seems to be a dedication to the Arce family, peering into their familial history.

The movie does honor the American authors Erle Stanley Gardner and Harry Crosby... but when talking about Gardner, they joke that Gardner claims to have discovered caves that an Arce guided him to. That was funny, but not quite factual... Gardner had helicopters which saw caves higher up some cliffs that can not be seen from the canyon trails. Choral Pepper discovered one while enroute to San Francisco de la Sierra, from San Ignacio... See the photos of her and JW Black climbing up to 'Pepper Cave': http://vivabaja.com/choralpepper

It was named Pepper Cave by Mexico's archeologist Dr. Margain... Choral said the only way she would allow the honor of accepting that name would be if she actually stood in that cave!

When this was mentioned in the movie, a magazine article showed Gardner's Helicopter. Do you know which magazine that was?

Version with English subtitles where?

This is a great film and I'm pleased to see it on YouTube. The DVD has long been out of print.

Shortly after the film was first released, a version with English subtitles was shown on the Sundance Channel on cable TV.

Does anyone have a copy of that version to lend?

Thanks,

Actually, the copy that I have is a VHS copy from David K that he gave me in 2000. It is the one with subtitles. I can't believe there are no copies available when searching on Amazon.com - Netflix doesn't even stream the film.

The Sundance Channel version with English subtitles came to me from Graham Mackintosh and many copies were made from that one. Check with 'elgatoloco' who borrowed it from me back then (2000). You can get the movie in Tijuana but without the English subtitles... this film has very little vocabulary and is in English at the start and finish... as Damian communicates with or remembers talks with his wife. It is a highly visual movie, and if you can only get the Spanish version it would still be interesting to watch, IMO.

You can find downloads of the avi by googling "El Limite Del Tiempo avi" if you are not familiar with dvd rip sites be extremely careful of the file type you are downloading. avi file types are safe. others may not be . ie:rar. php exe etc
