The Gods Must Be Crazy (1989)
The Gods Must Be Crazy
For five thousand years, things have pretty much stayed the same for Xi and his fellow Bushmen. Then one day, an empty Coke bottle drops magically from the sky, and life goes topsy turvy in the face of this generous 'gift of the Gods'. An international sensation, The Gods Must Be Crazy is one of the most original and thought provoking comedies ever. Starring a real-life Bushman N!xau, it's a movie that looks at us from the other side - and shows us just how crazy we are!
The Gods Must Be Crazy II
This delightful sequel to the hilarious hit comedy is a piece of divinity inspired lunacy! Xii again collides with the so-called civilized world when he embarks on a search for his children, who are accidental stowaways on a poacher's truck. He soon crosses their path with two very odd couples lost in the desert. Xixo, perplexed by their strange antics, nevertheless finds himself drawn into a crazy adventure with people who know how to make magic machines...but constantly need to be saved from the wilderness.

Dated but worthwhile madcap humour
This screwball comedy shows us the innocent side of Africa from a 1980s mindset. The film is shot in a fast and fun way, with a variety of film styles helping to keep the viewer engrossed in a wildly amusing story. Also shows a great range of Botswanan scenery - one to watch for a little light relief.
