The trip of the cannon throughout Spain is a monumental laugh to any Spaniard watching this movie with a minimal knowledge of their geography. The story begins in Santiago de Compostela, in North-West Spain. The cannon has to go to Avila, in Castile, not very far from Madrid (about fifty miles North-West of the capital). Yet the way it gets there is first through The Haunted City of Cuenca (South-East of Madrid) and then the village of Campo de Criptana in La Mancha (South of Madrid)... This is like, say, a trip from London to Bristol via the Scottish Highlands and the Lake District. Or a trip from New York to Chicago and you pass through the Monument Valley and Mount Rushmore.
