Like Antz before it and Shrek after it, The Road to El Dorado had some questionable content for a DreamWorks animation film.
- When Chel seduces Tulio.Chel: [alarmed] The High Priest?! What's he going to think if he finds one of the gods like this with me?!
Tulio: [dazed] Uh... lucky god?- For that matter, It could just be an animation slip-up, but much has been made of the fact that when Tulio and Chel's makeout session is interrupted, her head is... nowhere near his lips. And it doesn't help that she's clearly straddling him as we see her move her leg to get off of him, and she had a strand of hair stuck in her mouth. Also, there's Chel moaning when Tulio massages her shoulders, before he says, "Oh yeah."
- Tulio uses the word "hell" twice when he and Miguel talk their plans about returning to Spain.
- "HOLY... SHIP!"
- When Miguel and Tulio are stranded out at sea a seagal lands in their rowboat and dies. If you notice before it gets eaten by the shark you can see that it has a noticeable butt hole.
- SO MANY lines and moments - but when Tulio starts talking about "Ascending Horizontally,"
even Miguel gets in on the joke. - There's a surprisingly easy-to-miss one right at the beginning: During the opening song, a pair of armadillos meet, sniff each other's noses, and disappear into a bush. The bush shakes around a bit and a moment later the two armadillos pop out again... followed by a bunch of babies.
- Right before the natives address them when they first arrive, Miguel apologizes to Tulio about a past girl. Tulio's mouth clearly starts to form the F-word right before Tzekel-Kan interrupts. (And the subtitle confirms it: "So you f—")
- During the "Trail We Blaze" section Miguel and Tulio are both shown stripping down before jumping into the hot springs.
- At one point during "It's Tough to Be a God", Miguel sings, "So let's be gods; the perks are great!" He and Tulio promptly fall to the ground, surrounded by women.
- As Tzekel-Kan smells his elixir, it feels like he felt an orgasm.
- During the early gambling scene.Tulio: [frustrated mumbling] Come on baby, papa needs that crappy map.
- A couple of female background characters in El Dorado aren't wearing anything resembling a shirt under their ponchos.
- This was allegedly Chel's original design, which did not get past the Radar. However considering the design that did get through, it's speculated that the film makers deliberately sent in her poncho look just to get turned down so they would only have to make some slight changes to get her into the finished product.
- This was allegedly Chel's original design
- The drink consumed during the feast may look like some innocuous fruit juice (especially since it's bright purple), but it turns out to be some very potent alcohol given that the duo blacks out in minutes.
