The 'wages' confused me... (SPOILERS)
Didn't Corlette (Ramon Bieri) offer $8,000 to each driver, so $32,000 in total?
Then Serrano (Bruno Cremer) insisted on double pay plus legal residence, so $64,000 in total...
After Scanlon (Scheider) crosses the bridge he says that he and Nilo (Rabal) are on double shares of $20,000 a piece because he thinks the other two won't make it.
That means they were paid $40,000 in total. That doesn't add up, does it?
Also if Corlette is saying that the total money will be shared between whoever makes it back (which we never hear him say in the film) doesn't that give the drivers an incentive to try to kill each other?
