Per Kirk, a Temple Guard once scared someone so badly that he jumped out of the Temple Run. The poor kid was so scared in the Tree Room that they had to yell "CUT!" Everyone is very thankful the event didn't take place on the second floor.

Olmec’s rubber mouth was maneuvered by Dee Bradley Baker on the game show. "Sometimes late in the season you would notice there’s a slight cracking in his mouth. He pulled too hard and it was starting to tear. They had to fix him up." Since it's 2016, Olmec is now CGI and we don't have to worry about him breaking...but that voice is still familiar!

9. Fact: The infamous Shrine of the Silver Monkey will obviously show up in the movie.
