Djimon also expressed that the iconic scene, the last scene in the movie where he was seen digging for his ancestors, was unwritten. 

While shooting for the scene, no one in the production knew why it was being shot, as it was never in the script. 

But everyone trusted Riley and did as he said. 

But the fact was that the death of one of the critical characters in the movie, Oliver Reed, changed everything.
