Trivia
Though a success in its home of South Africa, the film also became a massive audience favorite in post-communist Eastern Europe, where it was frequently shown on television all throughout the 90s and 2000s. While the film's lengthy comedy scenes that poke fun at racism with a heavy reliance on blackface and whiteface were a target of criticism to Western viewers, such gags were more accepted in Eastern Europe, where blackface is still practiced in public media in the 2020s.

Typical Leon Schuster fun!

I always found Leon Schuster funny. It's interesting see that his other movies like, "Panic Mechanic" and " Oh Shucks! I'm Gatvol" which means "Oh Shucks! I've Had Enough" were not released overseas. It seems, the Leon Schuster film with Americans or British people visiting Sun City and they are in for fun and games, are released overseas.

I discovered this recently at IMDb when I typed in "Leon Schuster" and when the results came up, that was when I heard about Yankee Zulu/ There's A Zulu On My Stoep.And when I watched it, I couldn't help laughing! This movie's funniest bits were when Prince William decided to set a trap for this German guy in the middle of the bush with a tub full of flammable liquid. And when the guy sits in the tub because his backside got burnt, William drives his remote control car with a little trailer attached to it which contained a cigarette and matches. And when the German dude lights his cigarette, the tub explodes and he goes soaring through the sky. And the other was when the domestic servant wanted to make love to Schuster and when he took off, the servant said: "AWU!" which means " Oh dear!" Goodness gracious me! Schuster is such a joker!
