Every time I watch this movie I spend most of the time with a big grin on my face, but the bit that makes me laugh out loud each time is the one where Andrew and Kate pull into a garage fore-court and the attendant comes over, says 'Good morning Miss' to Kate and then squirts her in the face with soapy water because the windscreen is missing. So, so silly, but oh so funny!
shareYeah that was great. I personally love the part where the guys with the bazooka hit a bunch of bananas instead of the helicopter. That totally caught me off guard. Then I had to rewind it everytime.
shareThis movie is such a classic. There's a lot of funny bits in this film. Off my head is the rebels kicking the door and later on the scene where bullet casings are hitting the face of another guy.
shareHEY, CUT IT OUT MAN!!
That gets me every time.

There are so many funny parts in this movie (as has been said many times) but the part that makes me laugh the hardest is when Andrew goes to explain to Kate that he normally isn't that clumsy and then he knocks the table over and, while picking everything up, he picks up the same jug about 7 times because it keeps falling off the table. That part makes me sooo happy. :-)
shareWhen the kids are running to the rocks behind them and the bad guys are shooting at them and the one kid turns back with the gun and starts shooting. I know its going to happen every time but i can't help but laugh.

share"So how did this thing get up the tree?"
"*sigh* She got stuck in a waitabit tree and I... you know she's got flowers on her panties?"
...
"So that's how this thing got up the tree."
when sam boga drives through the border into botswana and knocks over the boom... then the guy speaks fast talking about people passing through the border and not showing the passports.. this is frank speaking sir. gets me everytime
shareThis was a wonderful, unique film, portraying civilization as through the eyes of a simple tribesman who is experiencing it for the first time. We get to see just how certain aspects of "civilized society" are not that superior or sane, and casts a positive (if slightly unrealistic) light on leading the simple life.
What got me were:
- the narrator’s description of “civilized man” (he points out civilization’s fallacies and foibles, and even shows us how our way of life is breaking us down – all in a humorous way, of course)
- when Xi picks up a gun and asks his owner about it, and the man runs away (the look of bewilderment on Xi’s face is wonderful)
- when Xi meets Kate and considers her ugly (the narrator’s description presents her from Xi’s viewpoint, when by civilized standards she would be considered beautiful)
- when the lion appears and chases Jack Hind, Mpudi and Xi
- when Xi looks through a telescope and wants to know how the people got into it

"when sam boga drives through the border into botswana and knocks over the boom... then the guy speaks fast talking about people passing through the border and not showing the passports.. this is frank speaking sir. gets me everytime"
Agreed. "I stopped them, sir."
I also love how Andrew's assistant keeps swearing and saying, "sorry, Reverand."
and then later when he looks up to see the jeep in the tree: "What the hell did you do that for, hmmm?"
And when Andrew sticks the flower in Kate's undies...hilarious. Especially with his nervous women issues.
There's also something that gets me when the terrorist card players are loading the bazooka and the ammo falls out and one is like, "oh *beep*
ha3 the bazooka, ammo casing, banana & kicking the door are all-time classics.
I think all the time with the rebels are classics. Don't forget the prisoner who kicked from helicopter was hilarious too ha3
So many things..
The evil military junta throwing that guy out of the helicopter ha ha ha ha
Everytime Sam Boga says anything
Yes the window cleaner spraying Kate ind the face
That guy playing that strange metal instrument while "singing".. and him running away when Xi has the gun
Antichrist up in the tree
Steyn throwing himself on Kate to save her from the Wharthog
Steyn hopping on one leg (making coffe)
that thing Xi says about kate.. she's so pale she looks like she crawled from a rotting log ha ha ha.. and you'd have to dig a whole day to feed her
son of a malacha you trying to murder me??
The "Close the Gate" gag, both coming and going.
shareA couple of parts that haven't been mentioned that I liked....
After Xi shot the militia guards with the tranquilizer, the expression on some of their faces; especially the guy spilling his drink. :p
At the end when Steyn threw the stone into the tree to cause that snake to fall on the guard. Hilarious! :p
the look on her face when he told her the rhino stomped out the fire, but she just saw him stamp out the fire (because he didn't want the rhino to come back.)
when he carried her across the river THEN dropped her in.
when he fell in the classroom and came up under her dress
I dont know why, but i laugh my ass off every time i see the jeep drive through the border barrier
shareAnd then when Andrew tries to get the tribesman to back up his story to Kate about rhinos being notorious for stamping out fires, the tribesman shakes his head "no" (which really means "yes")!
Life's a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death!

Three moments that really get me:
1. The one-take shot early on of the anonymous suburban driving half a block to the post box and back.
2. When the terrorist gang bursts into the cabinet meeting room....and the double-doors slam back shut on their protruding gun barrels.
3. During the gunfight in the banana plantation, one terrorist shoots down a bunch of bananas. Others are running away. You can see this joke coming from 10,000 km away -- yes, guy-slips-on-banana-peel -- but it's still funny. It's a classic.
It's a fine line between clever and stupid.
Xi can only drive the jeep in reverse. That grin on his face the first time he thought he was going to drive forward and then it took off backwards - sped up, of course. And he finally learned to stand on the hood to drive it backwards. And the shell casings hitting the guy in the face.
Chuck Norris can punch a cyclops between the eye.
The reaction of the Botswana border guard when the 2 jeeps crash through the gate 50 minutes into the movie.
shareAll of these are great. For some reason, the part that gets me is when Xi is explaining to the baboon that the Coke bottle is an evil thing, and the baboon is actually paying attention to him. Just cracks me up every time.
