That bushman guy is great in this


There are genuinely good scenes between him and Dolph. You almost feel sad for the little guy when Dolph bails.

If I recall, I like when he calls him "I AM". Man, it has been a while since I seen this movie.

He does call Dolph that. And Dolph responds with, "You certainly are".

Yeah he was cool. When I first saw this movie I thought it was the bushman from the gods must be crazy movies.

It's been a while since I've seen this, but I recall a truly moving scene where the bushman comes across his entire village which has been wiped out by a chemical attack from the "Soviet helicopter". He says something like "The evil ones have been here" but Lundgren takes his hand and they walk through the decimated village. Seeing the tall 'foreigner' holding the hand of the little bushman guy, as they both walk through the devastation was touching (that is if I remember it right).

Dr. Kila Marr was right. Kill the Crystalline Entity.

I saw this film with my girlfriend, and she got very teary-eyed when Dolph bailed on him, lol... I can understand why, as it was a very touching moment, and we both felt sad for him, as his entire tribe had been wiped out!

I still wish he had showed up towards the ending of the film, so we could get some closure on his story.. but alas, it could not be.

I agree. Regopstaan was incredibly charming and amusing as the bushman Gao. He brought some real heart to this film.

What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!

The bushmans great.
