On his audio commentary for the Region 1 DVD, Herzog states that the dialogue re-write was a matter of necessity, and that he considers the dubbed German soundtrack (also available on the DVD) to be the true screenplay of the film. 209.149.235.241 23:51, 24 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Yes it would certainly be worth slipping in "The film was originally shot in English and various dubbed versions exist" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robin J Thomson ( talk • contribs) 13:39, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

What I missed (and couldn't find while adding some date about the hill) was some hard data about the hill, such as:
Also, I have replaced all instances of "mountain" with "hill": for one thing "moutain" is for something much higher than that; for another, the Herzog commentary always clearly say "hill", including in the source quote, "The central metaphor of my film is that they haul a ship over what's essentially an impossibly steep hill."

I don't know where this would go in the article, exactly, but there's a reference to this movie in the Metalocalypse animated series. In an episode called Deathcarraldo the band travels to the Amazon and, when faced with a mountain that is in their way, commands the Clockateers to pull their boat over the mountain by hand.

In The "Representations in other media" would it be worth inserting the Reference to it in The Simpsons ?
The children are pulling their school bus up a hill by chain. Üter Zörker (the german exchange student) says "I feel like I'm in 'Fitzcarraldo' !". Nelson (the school bully) smacks him over the head and shouts "That movie is flawed !". Anyone? Robin J Thomson ( talk) 13:46, 9 January 2014 (UTC)Robin J Thomson
Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" episode "the Amazon" also references Fitzcarraldo, specifically the scene where Kinski's character plays the opera record in the jungle with hostile Indians on both sides of the riverbank. Bourdain opens the episode by playing the same record on a similar phonograph on a similar boat, wearing the same costume. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.64.115.6 ( talk) 19:30, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
A small motorship for about 30 passengers named Fitzcarraldo based at the left shore of Danube in Linz (Austria) offered individual tours. She has been built by Bernhard Luger in Obermühl in 1990 and nearly sunk in February 2009 under an other owner. http://www.flickr.com/photos/gnal/13829052/ pic
