Fei Chow woo sheung

This is the third movie in the The Gods Must Be Crazy movie-series but with as a big difference that this movie got made by an entirely different studio and even an entire different country. Weirdly enough this is an Hong Kong movie that still of course mostly is being set in Africa.

The movie tries to blend in the two successful series by mixing the The Gods Must Be Crazy-series with "Geung si sin sang", also starring Ching-Ying Lam. The movie its main concept might perhaps sound more ridicules and lame than the overall end result really. Basically this movie has very little to do with any of the The Gods Must Be Crazy previous movies, also in terms of its style and humor. So you can't really compare this movie to the previous entries and you have to take this movie on its own and for what it is.

The movie in itself is not bad but also not great either really. Of course the movie is being quite lame really and unusual with its mixture of primitive African tribes and an ancient Chinese vampire. It just isn't a movie of the highest quality but all in all it still is amusing enough to consider this movie watchable.

Basically the only thing that connects this movie to the previous two is the presence of N!xau again, who had learned about the value of money after the second movie and therefore must had willingly agreed to appear in this movie as well, as well as 2 more Hong Kong sequels to this movie.

Nothing too great or impressive but good enough for what it is.

The Gods Must Be Crazy III (a.k.a. Crazy Safari- 1991) C- 96 min. Lung Chan, Sam Christopher Chow, Stephen Chow, Ching-Ying Lam, Man Tat Ng, N!xau, Peter Pau. Xixo, the bushman from THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY films returns, this time getting involved with a magician and an ancient Chinese vampire, along the way learning some kung fu moves. Odd, to say the very least, this movie was a hard find, video title CRAZY SAFARI and only available on coolvcd.com in the VCD (Video CD) format. The film itself is hard to understand due to the Cantonese language (the version I have was translated, but still barely audible) but some parts did make me chuckle and it was nice to see N!xau the bushman back in action, even if it was in a far lesser film than the first two GODS movies. The rating is solely based on what I could gather. RATING: 5 out of 10.

The best of all "the gods must be crazy" movies. Chinese humor is excellent. (Note, I am not Chinese. I live in America) Vastly underrated. Perhaps, they did not show it in many American theaters because they were afraid that westerners might not be able to appreciate the movie.

Excellent acting.

Excellent script. The creators of this movie should make more similar movies.

I saw this movie a long time ago. But still remember it. It has lots of humor which does not require much thinking. Good clean fun. I do not remember any offensive content in the movie.

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 wacky and filled with nonstop escapades and just like a series of things occurring and a loose plot about diamond smuggling.
