glenmusher POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD.For non- South Africans this movie may come across as a little confusing, something of an in-joke that your not in on.It satirises the handover of power in what was South West Africa from South African control to becoming the State of Namibia in 1989, at times none to subtly! It concerns the handover of power in a African state called Nambabwe to a majority rule from white Afrikaans rule, and the arrival of silly and naive United Nations soldiers to implement the peaceful transition of power which does not go down well with some of the locals,most notably indomitable and resourceful Kwagga (Leon Schuster) a local white farmer with a skill for disguises and impressions. Much hilarity ensues as he takes his revenge on the interlopers, some of which seems pretty cruel. Racial stereotyping abounds here (an Indian called Rashid, in a Sihk turban!)but if you check in your thought policeman at the door you may still enjoy this.

flying_above I saw this movie, and I thought it was hilarious. If people would stop for a moment trying to nit pick every possible reason to call a movie racist or anything else they might get around to enjoying this. Movies are not all meant to be a glorification to Political Correctness.In this movie, you have setting in Africa which in some cases will blow you away in regards to the scenery and natural surroundings this was filmed in. I think a lot of trouble was gone to ensuring the dress of local tribes and their ways. Hopefully if you end up watching this, you will get to see, or have seen "The Gods Must Be Crazy".From what I can remember as a kid I always wanted there to be a third of these movies as it was so funny. When people stop knowing how to laugh at themselves, the world will be a sadder place.

thompsonjm I lived in Singapore in 1992 when I first saw this movie with my younger brother. It was very funny, in fact I laughed so hard over this film I had to go back and see it. My brother and I went back and saw the movie the next day, and a couple of days later we saw it again. It has some very funny elements and without betraying the plot I think Leon Schuster did his best work in this film. It was similar in style to the series "Gods Must Be Crazy" but was very independent. Its main focal point was making fun of the way the United Nations sometimes handles their "security details", and the movie never takes itself seriously.

darkangel-5 I recently saw this movie on a Hungarian commercial channel advertised as a "super movie". The Hungarian title chosen for the movie was more than misleading, it suggested as the movie was a sequel to the "Gods Must Be Crazy" movies. It wasn't the biggest problem though with this movie, it simply underachieved all my expectations. The whole movie is so silly and dumb, it's just not worth watching. It was supposed to be humorous, but most of the "funny elements" are based on racial prejudices and cultural simplifications. Even a Leslie Nielsen movie can be considered subtle to this. Besides the racial based "humor" even the plot is primitive. I don't want to give any details of the story line, it's just simply not worth it. The only remarkable element of the movie was the description of the UN peace-keepers who are portrayed as stupid, careless and corrupt people, which fact was recently reflected in a book written by former UN employees. The movie was good for one thing: now I know I have to avoid movies directed by David Lister.To sum it up I would just tell you: DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!!
