Curiosidades
Sir Christopher Lee's last line in the movie, "La commedia e finita", is the last line of Ruggero Leoncavallo's tragic opera "I Pagliacci". It means, "The comedy is over."

Pifias
Pretty much any time Christopher Lee is driving in the car with his sidekick, the camera is visible in the reflection on the sidekicks helmet. This starts at the beginning of the race and continues throughout the movie.

Citas
Feodor: [sings] Baboons on the road, what kind of sign is this? Baboons on the road, is this the end of bliss? I would rather see a rain of toads than hear that call: baboons on the road! I would rather see a rain of toads than hear that call, baboons on the road!
Count Borgia: Feodor, you know that I am fluent in twelve languages. Amongst all those noble and ancient tongues, there is but one solitary word that describes you with complete and total accuracy: putz.

This one sat on the shelf for two years until it was finally released.

"Safari 3000" is a movie which was shelved for two years before it was ultimately released. This usually is a very bad sign, as most of the time it means that the folks at the studio have no faith in the movie...or the production was small time and they ran out of money. Neither is a great alternative. And, after watching the movie, I can say the big problem with it is that it isn't sure WHAT it should be...a drama, a comedy or a romance. In some ways, the film is like combinging "The Gumball Rally", "Death Race 2000" and "The Cannonball Run"...which a tough of "Spaceballs"! Why do I add "Spaceballs"? Well, look at Christopher Lee's character, the Count...he looks like Dark Helmet's brother!!

Eddie Miles (David Carradine) works for Count Borgia (Lee). But the Count is a jerk and fires him right before the big race acress Africa...and Eddie is in need of a car. At the same time, an idiot reporter (Stockard Channing) has bought a terrible used car and plans on finding someone to use it in the race. Eddie agrees but the car is a mess...and it needs a new engine. So do they stand a change against the unscrupulous Count as he drives in the race?

I wish the film had chosed to be a comedy...period. But it's not especially funny...other than Christopher Lee's ridiculous outfit in the race. It could have also worked as a drama...but the dialog and helmet ALSO work against that. And, as a romance, it doesn't work especially well either as the chemistry between Carradine and Channing is poor at best. Overall, not a terrible film and it probably didn't deserve to be shelved...but it is NOT a good one by any standard.
