Could James Woods speak Spanish before this film?


He's pretty fluent in this film, or so it seems.

Did he learn for this film, or did he already know how to talk about?

The beauty of Spanish is that you don't have to speak or understand Spanish to deliver lines in Spanish. All you need to know is how the letters are pronounced. The language is almost completely phonetic.
