    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Penélope Cruz was very upset about her first film, Jamon Jamon (1992) (Penelope was in some frank nude scenes). "I did not handle it at all well. I had a strong reaction to anything sexual or sensual for a while. I cut my hair short. I didn't do any love scenes - not even kisses - for many years", she recalls.
    • Goofs
      In the climatic ham fight scene, Javier Bardem steps and cuts himself on broken glass. But after striking the death blows the bottom of his feet are visible with no cuts, protruding glass or blood.
    • Quotes
      • La madre puta: Who buys men's underwear? Women do. And a good packaging helps sell.
