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 divinely inspired lunacy! Xi 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 paths 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 and from each other.System Requirements:Running Time: 108 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG UPC: 043396106499 Manufacturer No: 10649South African director Jamie Uys caught lightning in a bottle with The Gods Must Be Crazy–a Coke bottle, to be specific. This slaphappy collection of goofy pratfalls and culture-clash gags became an enormous international smash, and made a sort of star out of the Bushman selected to play the central role, the completely ingratiating N!Xau. He plays a man, unaware of white culture, who finds a Coca-Cola bottle in the Kalahari (dropped by a passing pilot) and promptly has his life turned around by this mystical object. The movie looks slipshod and even amateurish at times, yet its attitude is so bubbly it’s hard to resist. Proving that physical comedy remains a true international language, millions of moviegoers around the world drank it up.

The Gods Must Be Crazy II (1989) returns N!Xau to the bizarre world of the white man, this time in a slicker plot (and a with a bigger budget) that, perhaps predictably, yields fewer real belly laughs than the first time around. Director Jamie Uys sticks to his cherished notions that tribesmen are wiser than civilized people, and that fast-motion comedy is inherently funny. The storyline begins with N!Xau’s innocent Bushman searching for his lost children; he then gets sidetracked by subplots. The humor is basic, but in best silent-movie tradition Uys prepares his set-pieces with elaborate care, and he understands the value of the long-delayed pay-off. –Robert Horton
