She stated that she needed to go to the market, and although director Werner Herzog explained to her that filming was in progress, she insisted on making her purchases right then and there, so filming had to be interrupted for fifteen minutes.
  • Two minutes after the start of filming the hypnosis scene, the cameraman began to sway and nod off. Director Werner Herzog shook him up and put him back behind the camera. Shortly after that, Tim Roth, playing the hypnotist, actually managed to hypnotize the girl.
