Two guys, one of them a magician, are transporting an ancient chinese vampire who can only be controlled by a series of yellow tapes, and is the ancestor of the other guy. On the way, while flying over Africa, their plane stalls. And of all places, where do they land? That's right, in the village of the tribe of "The Gods Must Be Crazy".

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

CRAZY SAFARI certainly lives up to its title and stands as one of the most bizarre movies I've ever watched. It turns out that a couple of South African movies starring bushman actor N!xau, THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY and its sequel, must have been really popular in China. Soon after they were made, Chinese producers were recruiting the same star and in this film they head off to South Africa to cash in on his popularity.To make things even stranger, CRAZY SAFARI is a film heavily indebted to the MR VAMPIRE saga, and it even stars Lam Ching-Ying as his traditional One-Eyebrow Priest character. The storyline sees the priest and his companion travelling to England where they buy his friend's ancestor at an auction and transport him back to Hong Kong, only to get stranded in Africa en route. The film was written by the great Barry Wong, who handled the scripts for many classics like HARD-BOILED and ARMOUR OF GOD.A hopping vampire plays a big part in the story and his scenes are a real hoot, with all of the traditional special effects work used to make him jump huge heights and the like. The middle of the film seems to have been made up as they went along, as the characters interact with the wildlife in various ways (they hide up a tree from a rampaging rhino), but then things pick up for an eye-popping climax in which the heroes and their allies must battle an evil tribe and a couple of diamond hunters who seem to have come from an Indiana Jones flick. There's a hilarious duel scene involving the spirits of a baboon and even Bruce Lee, and plenty of wacky humour that works really nicely. Your enjoyment of CRAZY SAFARI will depend on how big a fan you are of this 'hopping vampire' genre; if it's up your street then you'll love this too.

This is the third "The Gods Must Be Crazy" movie released in the world, this time made by Hong Kong filmmakers who gave the series their own hilarious spin. We have Taoist Priest HiSing, played by no other than famed Vampire Buster actor Lam Ching-Ying, and Leo (Sam Christopher Chow), visiting England to retrieve the preserved corpse (a hopping vampire) of Leo's ancestor for transporting back to Hong Kong. During the journey back, their plane crash lands into a village in South Africa, inhabited by Xi the Bushman and his tribe.Like the first two movies, a lot of physical comedy and laugh-out-loud humor were in supply, from Xi's surprised and confused expressions as he meets HiSing, Leo and the vampire, to the tribe hilariously watching HiSing practice his martial arts moves. There are also some funny run-ins with wild animals including baboons and rhinos and some vampire action, including the funny scenes of the creature taking on a city gang, and him later chasing the bushman around the village huts.This movie has a simple plot, basically concentrating on HiSing and Leo's retrieval of the vampire to their experiences in the South African village. However, there is an exciting good guy vs. bad guy subplot involving a diabolical African tribe and Western smugglers. Throw in some vampire and martial arts action into the mix, with Xi and the Bushmen caught in the middle, and you will get one entertaining movie.It is a refreshing film - very captivating to see a blend of Hong Kong and South African cinema in the breathtaking jungles and villages.Grade B+

This is a movie that'll have you in splits, and thoroughly enjoying yourself. A sequel to the "Gods must be crazy"(even though not from the same director etc), this movie is probably the best of the lot.A parody of a hit Chinese comedy movie called Mr. Vampire, the story begins when a Chinese guy and his vampire grandfather end up in the Kalahari desert. This is where the real fun starts. They meet various people, Nixau, a bushman(the only character who's made it to all the "Gods must be crazy" films).While telling you more would be possible, it'd spoil the pure unadulterated fun! This is a must-watch, as are all the other prequels.I rate this a solid 10!

If you live in America and are a "Gods Must Be Cray" fan, you may never see this movie. Although this movie is popular on VHS and DVD in China, it is hard to view in America. First off Jamie Uys did not direct this film. Second off, in order to view this film you must purchase it on VCD. VCD is a type of DVD, but only viewable on computers and some DVD systems. Also if you buy it in English the characters have different names then in the Chinese version. It is also dubbed in English, and sounds kind of fake. But if you are a "Gods Must Be Crazy fan, then I suggest that you see this movie. If you do plan on viewing this movie, good luck finding it, you will need it.
