N!xau got famous after he acted in "The God Must Be Crazy", then the Hong Kong production found him and invite him to act in this movie. Of course, we wouldn't understand a word N!xau said, thanks to Stephen Chow & Ng Man Tat, they are sure the funniest narrator ever in this world. And with their help, i can understand the whole movie even with N!xau giligulu at there :P
