Plot: 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...( read more read more... ) 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. --Robert Horton

    I wish I could watch every movie ever made but I sadly don't have the time. I'm not interested in this movie because I don't think I'll like it or don't know enough about it to think I might like it. I may still end up seeing it some day though.

    This film is hilarious., not as good as the first. Funny, nonetheless. It is the only thing that made Ace Ventura 2 funny to me.

    Love this series. The first one was more of a documentary, where in this one has more of a story-driven plot. More funniest than the original. Lots of quick motion scenes.

    The first film was brilliant, this one is even more so - One of the few followups that is better than the original (Caddyshack is another one - No really it is).

    I found this one to be much better than the first one. The first one was more of a mockumentary, whereas this one has more of a story-driven plot. I even teared up a little at the end.

    Love this series. Soo unique and funny. I show it in my cross-cultural cognition classes as a teaser of what happens when people are exposed to the completely unfathomable.

    A hilarious follow up to the original. I just adore this man who played the main character of the bushmen tribe. More slapstick than the original, still with the same simplicity I loved from the first one. It just makes you wanna go to the African desert and become an honorary part of these adorable people's tribe :)

    This movie is as good as the first one. I was surprised because sequels usually aren't as good as the original!

    I like it better than the first one. It is not as violent, but there are still many shots of a lady in her underwear. The children are absolutely adorable. I like this much better than the first.

    I didn't even know that there was a sequel (poking around on IMDB showed me that there were in fact 5 The Gods Must Be Crazy movies but the last three were made in Hong Kong and were never released in the United States and were pretty horrible). It was even a little better than the first one. Thanks to this movie, I know not to mess with badgers.

    Okay, I don't know why I saw all "the gods must be crazy"-movies, since I didn't like the first one. I was bored out of my mind, I guess, and had nothing better to do...

    Not a bad sequel, the plot is simpler but lacks the continued presence of N!xau. Still, the zoologist is hot in a Miami Vice kind of way, the music is cute and the antics of a lost Cuban and a sulky soldier is good fun.
