Darkest Africa | |
| Cobra Verde / int_19d8d325 | comment |
Darkest Africa: Werner Herzog even admitted that he felt a bit uncomfortable with how much of the dark parts of African history and culture he felt compelled to include interludes with traditional Ghanian music to balance the rest. | |

Kavorka Man: da Silva to Dom Coutinho's daughters. Through in the end he rapes them, so it's not played straight. | |

Mighty Whitey | |
| Cobra Verde / int_fed07537 | comment |
Mighty Whitey: Invoked in the film, but ultimately averted. King Bossa's nephew Prince Kankpe wants to use da Silva as a figurehead for an uprising because his reputation will inspire the troops and Kankpe believes da Silva has connections that will be useful to him. When the later turns out to be false da Silva loses all support from Kankpe and da Silva is left with nothing. | |
