Did you know

• Trivia The film was released as part of a massive advertising campaign for the Guinness beer brand in Africa, where the lead character, Michael Power (played by Cleveland Mitchell), features in numerous Guinness advertisements. In Africa, such is the popularity of "Michael Power", that many people do not realize that he is a fictional advertising character.
• Goofs Most of the action in the film takes place in a single fictional African nation, yet in some scenes the traffic bears to the right, while in other scenes the traffic bears to the left.
