Nothing like finding stretchy purple pants in a street market.

Banner moves north from Brazil to Guatemala to Mexico. These scenes of Bruce destitute and on the run were shot in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, not in Mexico.

The sequence opens with two ladies on a bench and a young boy looking down a steep street that Bruce is walking along (above/below). This is R Santo Alfredo at Largo das Neves in Rio de Janeiro. In fact, all these Mexico scenes were shot at the tiny roundabout of Largo das Neves.
