South 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

There’s unofficial sequels (with the same main character from 1 and 2) that were Chinese movies. I remember getting a copy and thinking this must be the wrong movie. But once you see the Chinese vampire crash landing in Africa there’s no mistake lol.

I remember these movies from my childhood, I guess they didn't pass the nudity scenes on tv. I thought these movies were hilarious. Now that I've seen them again I hate them. It would be nice if it was only about the bushmen, but no.

The bush people didn't get paid for anything, the white lady had a heavy south african accent so it was dubbed over to sound more english, and some of the comedy is racist shit.
