The Gods Must Be Crazy
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gods Must Be Crazy is a movie from 1980, directed by Jamie Uys, and released in the United States by 20th Century Fox.
It stars Namibian farmer N!xau as a Bushman, whose happy village (located in Africa's Kalahari desert) suddenly turns to a violent society, after a Coke bottle falls down there from a passing airplane. The Bushman, Xixo, decides to return the bottle to the "end of the earth", to finish all the evil his family has gone through. Along the way, he meets a group of terrorists on the run, as well as a clumsy scientist who falls in love with a former newspaper journalist. During his journey, Xixo encounters modern civilisation for the first time.
The Gods Must Be Crazy was the highest-grossing foreign movie of all time upon its release. From 1989 to 1994, four sequels followed. The last three in the series were made in Hong Kong.
