* NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity: Because of Hollywood's total indifference to the Mexican film industry at the time, Jodorowsky did what he was best at to get their attention: scaring the crap out of people. To drum up hype, he bragged about killing all the dead animals on set himself (they were bought frozen), eating human meat tacos (he did not) and actually sexually assaulting the woman who played Mara during the sex scene (he did not, but this particular stunt got him in deep shit decades later.)

If the director is as opposed to animal cruelty as we are, then Values Dissonance by definition cannot apply.

* ValuesDissonance: The amount of animal cruelty is staggering. An entire scene features roughly a hundred bunnies, only for them to be shown dead and dying on screen within a minute (and several minutes later, ''set on fire.'') It should be noted, however, that the dead bunnies are not the same who were alive; Jodorowsky bought dead rabbits for the scene, since he's against animal cruelty and a vegetarian.

* CompleteMonster: In this surreal allegory of religion and philosophy, it is [[FatBastard The Colonel]] who proves himself to be purely evil for his [[ForTheEvulz own entertainment]], despite only being El Topo's [[StarterVillain first prominent opponent]]. The leader of a band of eccentric and cruel bandits whom he considers to be his "dogs", the Colonel keeps a woman as his personal slave and has all the inhabitants of a village massacred, [[WouldHurtAChild including the children]], impaling a woman and hanging men from the ceiling of a church. Arriving at a Franciscan mission, the Colonel turns the town into a graveyard littered with dozens of corpses by allowing his men to use the civilians as targets for shooting practice or simply randomly murder whoever they want.
