Brando connection?
I just got the DVD and haven't watched it yet; but is this the same William Walker that was played by Marlon Brando in Pontecorvo's Queimada (Burn)? If so it'll make an interesting comparison.
shareThis William Walker is based on an American filibustero, a real life character who lived in 1824-1860 and tried to conquer Nicaragua.
Queimada's Sir William Walker is a fictional character. He is a British mercenary who adventures in the Antilles, but he may be loosely based on real William Walker.
