A very neglected Landrover Series I in one of the most hilarious parts I've ever seen played by a single car. The only excellent working part is a very, very powerful winch.

10. Finish this quote from the Narrator: "Even a poisonous snake isn't bad. You just have to keep away from the ______."

Answer: sharp end

The Narrator supplies running commentary that gives a documentary feel to the movie, and translates the Bushman's language. One of my favorite quotes from him: [explaining Xixo's conversation with a baboon in a tree who grabbed the Coke bottle] "He spoke long and earnestly to the baboon and explained, that is an evil thing you've got there, and it brought much unhappiness to my family and it will surely bring much unhappiness to yours unless you give it back to me and let me throw it away.

He spoke so earnestly that the baboon began to take note and dropped the evil thing.

He said, that is a very wise thing you have done."
