杜可风把这篇拍摄手记取名为Don't Try for Me Argentina是有用意的。1997年,
他在加拿大温哥华电影节的研讨会问答环节中解释了这个名字的来历。多谢Space Age Bachelor的博客根据录音把老杜说的话和大家分享(

You have to work day to day with what you have. Very often, especially in Buenos Aires, it is the money, because everything is five times more expensive than we budgeted for, mainly because of Madonna and Brad Pitt. Because they got there before we did, and inflated everything for us, so many thanks to you assholes. Thank you to the American industry for making it so easy for North Americans to make films in Argentina. That’s why my book is called Don’t Try For Me Argentina.
