OK I must have missed the bit where you said it isn't a typo. Or maybe I did and thought you meant something else because I'm not aware of a proper noun like (so I see what the other guy was saying now) unless it's a typo of the film. I guess we'll see after the big reveal.

Apocalypto is a proper noun and a valid clue

Apocalyto is not a real word, as far as I can tell, and is therefore not a valid clue

I was originally going to go with Vehicle: 3, but the red team picking Helicopter helped a lot.
Species: 3 you guys worked out perfectly and I was super happy.
After that, I was wracking my brain for some way to link Mint and Robot while de-emphasizing Nail (the assassin) and it was super hard. Anything with metal was out, mass-produce was probably bad. Flawless was meant to evoke mint condition, which you got and the idea that robots are generally thought of as "better" than humans.
Fortunately the red team whiffed and gave me another shot. In retrospect, after they screwed up the Cleaners clue, I should have just played it safe and and done Flavor or Ice Cream.

Sorry, but Bolt was a bit of a puzzler to link with Mexico. The Apocalypto thing (yeah, I missed that I had actually misspelled it and not just picked a weird word) was my memory of it being that the guy was basically fleeing, IE, bolting from evil people who wanted to sacrifice him. But yeah, not the best clue, but you try finding somehting for bolt and Mexico.

Generally: You guys need way more racism to play this game: "hood" was meant as "place where black people live and commit crime", and obviously all Mexicans are criminals too. Similarly, cleaning staff are obviously Mexican. I guess not being racist is good in general though.

I don't know about Vietnam being more Helicoptery than other wars, but you bet "Korea" would have gotten "robot" in an instant, and screw Iraq/Afghanistan, they're too recent and have lots of options.

Lastly: After giving my (bad) cleaning clue, the obvious one occurred to me: Sombrero:2 for circle and Mexico.

Playing IRL the other day a guy gave the clue "BACK : 2".
His words were "Seat", and "Wet". His team did not correctly guess them, and we're okay with that. :v:

Action figure is two words though, and definitely not a compound word. Transformers would probably work though! Or Voltron, perhaps, same idea.

I think a "1" clue works a bit better then. No guarantee that we get it, but at least Bolt was something we were thinking of for Criminal.
