* TheAlcoholic: The cook, who is drunk when he signs on as part of the crew, drunk during the mutiny where most of the rest of the crew leaves, and drunk most of the time when everyone else is hauling the ship over the ridge.
Added DiffLines:
* StunnedSilence: Fitzcarraldo decides to impress a native chieftain by giving him a hunk of ice--ice being something that the natives of the Amazon delta have never seen and can't even conceive of. The chief takes possession of a big hunk of ice and shows it to the rest of the natives, who are all over the hillside, chattering and banging about as they're hacking out a path for the ship. All work stops and all the natives go silent as they stare at the hunk of ice.

* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: The true Carlos Fermin Fitzcarrald was a Peruvian rubber baron, the son of an Irish-American father and a Peruvian mother, who developed the Madre de Dios basin by portaging a ship overland. Unlike his film counterpart the real Fitzgerald very sensibly decided to disassemble the boat into several pieces before attempting to pull it up the slope.

Also, he ''did'' bring an opera troupe to the area... and half of them promptly died of yellow fever.

* RiverOfInsanity: More off-camera than on screen. Just listen to Herzog after more than half a year in the jungle:
--> '''Werner Herzog''': Kinski always says [nature] is full of erotic elements. I don’t see it so much as erotic. I see it more as full of obscenity.... Nature here is violent, base. I wouldn’t see anything erotical here. I would see fornication, and asphyxiation, and choking, and fighting for survival,... just rotting away. Of course there is lots of misery but it is to say misery that is all around us. The trees here are in misery, the birds here are in misery. I don't think they sing, they just ''screech in pain''.
