The film was first screened at the Cannes Film Festival in May, 2008, earning Del Toro the Festival's best actor award.

M1 Garand
The M1 Garand is the standard weapon of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara's band of rebels, as well as the Cuban Army.
An M20A1 "Super Bazooka" is carried by the rebels. Che Guevara (Benicio del Toro) uses it to detonate a weapons dump, and it is used by a rebel soldier to knock out an M4 Sherman in Santa Clara.
