'The Gods Must Be Funny In China'
Personally I have found the film very helpful and my children and I watch it continually.
Infact N!xau (the exclaimation mark instead of the letter "i" is used to signify the click consanant used in his native toungue of Ju/Hoan);was named
G!kau but was named N!xau because of a typing error on the books when he made the first film "The Gods Must be Crazy". His birth name is Gcao Coma and he died recently (July 2003)which is something not alot of people know.
Other predominant characters in the film "The Gods Must Be Funny In China" other than N!xau, include Kent Cheng and Gloria Yip and Ying Ying the panda. Cheng and Yip resemble a modern day Adam and Eve adventuring throughout the forests and jungles of mainland China in search of their Marathon team.
Even though Cheng and Yip are not really meant to be participants but organizers in the great race, they somehow become actively involved due to the theft of a giant panda. The panda (Ying Ying the famous Chinese Panda)is property of "The Panda Woman" (A young Chinese woman with acrobatic and gymnastic abilities). Native to the forest; The Panda Woman finds N!xau in the forest and nurses him back to health after a fall from a cliff during the race.
