River flows the wrong direction


It has always bothered me just a bit, that on the final scene, crossing back into the United States from Mexico over what is supposed to be the Rio Grande, the river is flowing the wrong direction.

Has anyone else ever noticed this?

Yes, I noticed this again when I re-watched the film recently. I was going to comment but you beat me to it. Also, I think an international bridge at that time wouold be at a deveoped urban area, not out in the sticks as shown. (Presumably the crossing was from Ciudad Juarez to El Paso, as the main events took place in Chihuahua.) Cheers. Victor M. Carrera
