		In 1992 N!xau appeared in a documentary saying he deeply regretted appearing in the film - but nevertheless starred in a series of sequels with declining quality until 1994's Fei zhou chao ren (The Gods Must Be Funny in China).
		According to director Jamie Uys, N!xau was said to have let his first $300 wage blow away because he did not see the value of money.
		However, another story claims he demanded 800,000 South African Rand to appear in the sequel so he could build a house with electricity and a water pump for himself, his three wives and children.
