'The Gods Must Be Funny In China'


Personally I have found the film very helpful and my children and I watch it continually.

Infact N!xau (the exclaimation mark instead of the letter "i" is used to signify the click consanant used in his native toungue of Ju/Hoan);was named
G!kau but was named N!xau because of a typing error on the books when he made the first film "The Gods Must be Crazy". His birth name is Gcao Coma and he died recently (July 2003)which is something not alot of people know.

Other predominant characters in the film "The Gods Must Be Funny In China" other than N!xau, include Kent Cheng and Gloria Yip and Ying Ying the panda. Cheng and Yip resemble a modern day Adam and Eve adventuring throughout the forests and jungles of mainland China in search of their Marathon team.

Even though Cheng and Yip are not really meant to be participants but organizers in the great race, they somehow become actively involved due to the theft of a giant panda. The panda (Ying Ying the famous Chinese Panda)is property of "The Panda Woman" (A young Chinese woman with acrobatic and gymnastic abilities). Native to the forest; The Panda Woman finds N!xau in the forest and nurses him back to health after a fall from a cliff during the race.

"crazy hong kong" was the final release at my local video store and i'm fairly sure that goes for this entire country, i didn't even know a fifth movie existed until just now today, but i heard someone said a few years ago something about a fifth, this series of movies are such a strange phenomena, you got that first box office success, breaking record, a sequel made almost a decade there later on (which was my personal favorite), a third that involved some voodoo and weird stuff that seemed disconnected from the first two, then there was a fourth (and which as i mentioned i always knew as the last, released in 1994 titled at least in my country as "in hong kong", this was a mainstream thing, now i read the movies after the first two (those first two commonly featured on several dvd editions) are unofficial sequels that were hong kong made and have only been released on vcd format in china and just recently only one of these three sequels were released on dvd in south africa (from which i thought all these movies were made), considering how obscure the three sequels are worldwide, it's pretty far out how common these were on vhs tapes in my european country, well, except for one of the sequels then... this.

summer was hot enough as it was,
unexpectedly you showed up,
bouncing boobies in tight dress,
increased beating of my chest,
as june temperature keep rise,
you already control the scary weather force and yet,
you increased power with temptation of the flesh,
till i was just a sweating slippery stumbling blob mumbling mess.
