Summary: A ecclectic clash of two very different cultures.
Review: The Gods Must Be Crazy II has been one of the few films I have watched often since the first time I saw it. What more can bring out the laughter in a person than watching people of two very different cultures interact? This movie also serves as a decent documentary as well with its occasional narrative snippets of the intriguing Ju/'hoansi people of the Kalahari (popularly known as the Bushmen).

Summary: Movie excellent - DVD horribly flawed
Review: I love the movie "The Gods Must Be Crazy" and want everyone to see it, but don't buy the current DVD -- wait for (nay, demand) a rerelease of the DVD that includes English subtitles on N!Xau's dialogue in the the special feature, "Journey to Nyae Nyae" (the Japanese subtitles are there; the negligence that omitted the English ones is egregious as well as frustrating). Get on Columbia TriStar's case about this one and let's get a new DVD made!

Summary: "Journey to Nyae Nyae" translation missing!
Review: GREAT MOVIE! BUT... The documentary "Journey to Nyae Nyae" is seriously flawed by not including the translation for what is being spoken! Come on! Please reissue with the subtitles, PLEASE!

Summary: Top family comedy!
Review: Family comedies don't get better than this. Especially comedies with animals. "The Gods Must Be Crazy I" introduced us all to the Coke bottle that nearly destroyed the relationship of the Bushmen of Africa (envy, jealously, greed. None of these emotions were expressed until the man-made bird dropped the Coke bottle from the sky.) "The Gods Must Be Crazy II" worked with a larger budget and worked more with the animals and with N!xau's children.
This is the kind of entertainment that use to bring the whole family together and laugh together just like old times. Yes, there are some gun fights and episodes of war throughout both of them, but it's never really too intense for anyone over the age of 10. It's not traumatizing. This new double feature DVD is definately one of my Top 10 film packages.

Summary: A Great Movie, But...
Review: I must agree with Adam from Brisbane - the 'americanized' dubbing ruins the more subtle humour of the film. Col TriStar could have at least included the original South African english language track for those of us who are able to understand the 'heavy' accents.Perhaps someone in the near future will secure the rights to the original version and make us true fans very happy.

Summary: A comment on the sub-standard dubbing
Review: I've watched with envy as my American counterparts have devoured this DVD set, as it has taken its jolly time in appearing in an Asia-Pacific version. But it is finally here, and I finally own these most brilliant and inspired comedies with which I grew up. I'd just like to comment on one element of this release: the dubbing. Not only is it poorly done, it is also ENTIRELY UNNECESSARY. Why did the publishers feel the need to dub English over English? In my humble opinion, they have ruined much of the more subtle humour that was originally carried by the speech inflections of the actors. Moreover, the dubbing is inconsistent; in particular, Mputi appears to have been over-voiced only partially. How else does one explain three voices when there are only two people in the scene? I'm sorry, but I am most disappointed with this state of affairs.

Summary: Keystone Cops meets National Geographic - good description
Review: I won't add significantly to what has already been written about these movies. The budgets were not a gazillion dollars - and it shows, but there was some thought and heart that went into the productions - and THAT shows too. I've watched these movies several times in several different groups, and parts of them ALWAYS get big belly-laughs. The DVD transfers are quite adequate - High Definition Wide-Screen. I doubt these films could LOOK any better with the source material they had. Several reviewers remarked about their annoyance on the accompanying documentary that translation is not offered for the comments of Kalahari Bushman star N!xau. I was initially upset too, then I thought - "hey, how about pushing the subtitle button on the remote" - abracadabra!!! N!xau's enlightening words suddenly came with English subtitles! These films are little gems, and I'm always entertained watching them. Check it out - two films for the price of one!

Summary: Great movie Bad product
Review: For some reason there are no English subtitles to the extra feature, Journey to Nyae Nyae which documents the whereabouts of the Kalahari Bushman today. This is extremely frustrating as it is subtitled in Japanese.
