Amores Perros snafu.

When Richie the dog falls under the floor, they try to bring him out with chocolate. If Richie were to eat it he would probably die, as dogs, especially small ones, are allergic to chocolate and can be easily poisoned by it!

BTW great movie

It's not really a snafu, they're just stupid.

BTW, in case this is pet talk, cats are also allergic to chocolate.

I did a search for this movie and I can't believe that there are only like 5 posts in two different threads. Anyway, I picked this one because I tripped on the chocolate thing too. I recently hurt my back to the degree of 9 out of 10 on the hospital pain scale, so I was really feeling it when the model woman fell on the floor with her leg halo looking for her little rat food dog. DAMN!!!

I frikkin' loved this movie. I couldn't even finish it because I started late and had to get to work today. I'm totally looking forward to seeing the rest tonight and buying this Goddamn masterpiece. Dang! The part at the beginning where the destitute guy pulled the machete to defend his roaming pack ...Awesome!!!

So many cool emotions. If this had been called Amores Gatos I think my head would have blown apart (ala Scanners).

That they love dogs? Apparently "perro" is used to describe "bad" in some places, kind of like a form of "to the dogs". So it's basically "bad loves" or "bad love affairs" or "loves a bitch"

Re: Amores Perros snafu.

Perro, although meaning dog, is used as slang for bad or shitty. I think "Love's A Bitch" was indeed one of the official English language translations for the title.

It can also mean "Righteous Love."

Perro can also mean "badass."

BTW, as for the original post - dogs eat all sorts of shit, so whether the chocolate would kill the dog isn't necessarily true - at least not a dog in mexico.

Right, but they still eat it anyway. Some die, some don't. Most in 3rd world countries don't, because all they eat is crap.

Re: Amores Perros snafu.

You bumped it. That's what the original thread was about - the "snafu."
