* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: While successful enough to be exported overseas, the movie especially has CultClassic status in Eastern Europe.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: It appears to be a family-oriented movie in its native country (and has been rated PG and different equivalents in other countries) but it has quite a bit of (mild) cursing, a hefty barrage of slapstick ''[[BreadEggsMilkSquick and]]'' villains who are ''clearly'' white supremacists/fascists.

* AcceptableTargets: The movie's antagonists are white supremacists and proud members (also founder in Diehard's case) of a fascist organization, complete with Nazi-esque iconography and salutes. Unsurprising, since it's a South African movie made shortly after apartheid.

* MoralEventHorizon: [[ANaziByAnyOtherName General Diehard]] is a bigoted fascist with a clear bias against Zulu, in addition to hunting down the half-million rand check. But he crosses the line ''big time'' when he, [[VillainousBreakdown clearly gone insane from the kids' booby traps]], [[WouldHurtAChild tries to kill Tienkie]].
* TearJerker:
** A young Zulu and Rhino going their separate ways after the latter was coaxed into [[WilliamTelling shooting a tin can off Zulu's head]] by Rowena despite both boys' objections.
** [[spoiler:When imprisoned by the baddies, Rhino confides in Zulu that he adopted Tienkie from the latter's friend and ''only love'' Thandi, who was explicitly mentioned to have died years earlier.]]
* ValuesDissonance: While the movie, to its credit, portrays racism in a negative light, one who lives outside of UsefulNotes/SouthAfrica in the modern age might not find it funny that Rhino and Zulu resort to disguising themselves as a [[{{Blackface}} black]] and white man respectively.
