Such a frustrating disappointment

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I couldn't disagree more with many reviewers who say that you have to be South African to understand or enjoy this movie. I'm a Brit who's just watched this movie with my Zimbabwean wife, and i fell about laughing almost the whole way through. It's just so funny and pokes fun at just about everyone, i mean there's the potential to offend several races or colours in this film, but if you have a sense of humour you'll understand it's actually a clever movie that blends satire,slapstick,gross out,political,culture and gender based jokes into one great big funny melting pot. But it almost feels affectionately insulting and i for one am fed up with Political correctness anyway,the Prince Charles and Camilla sequences were funny despite the sensitivity of that story. But the last half hour is pure classic slapstick physical comedy, its like watching a blend of Laurel and Hardy meets Home Alone in the African bush. I can't say a bad word about this movie, it's one of the funniest i've seen in years. I will watch this again and again...treat yourself and buy it and prepare to be all laughed out afterwards !!

this movie is a hilarious and side splitting humorous comedy that our whole family has enjoyed for many years. we have seen this spectacular movie time and time again and seem to cant get enough of yankee zulu. my all time favourite scene in yankee zulu is when the poacher is buried to his knees and wakes up to find a lion eating, a gazelle leg which he thought was his own leg because of the blood spread on his knees. this is such a spectacular master piece and a must to everyone who enjoys a good side splitting comedy. it is a very immature movie but it brings out the child in everyone. if u disagree with this comment you have lost your inner child. from the pryor family

Notice that the tag line for this movie was "If the God's were crazy now they've gone berserk". Yankee Zulu is considered as a movie in "The Gods Must Be Crazy" series of movies. This film is much different from any other of the Gods Must Be Crazy films. The only similiarity is that it takes place in South Africa, like the rest of the films. A major miss in this film is that it does not contain N'!xau the bushman, and it is not by Jamie Uys. This is the last U.S. based film, of the Gods Must Be Crazy series. The rest of the films including, Vampires Must Be Crazy, The God's Must Be Funny in China, and Crazy Hong Kong. So if you were expecting N!xau the bushman, in another hilarious adventure, this is not the movie for you.

I cannot stress how important it is that you understand the complexity of the diversity of race and culture in South Africa before watching this movie.If you are not South African this movie will be terrible, the jokes will not be funny (you will miss most of them anyway), the portrayal of the black vs. white issue will not be funny but instead come across as racist drivel. You will also judge this movie against the massive big-budgeted-blockbuster Hollywood films, which is unfair because this is a South African made movie working on a tiny budget with South African filmmakers who have very limited experience, it is also directly aimed at the South African market and I feel it was a mistake to release it internationally.However, if you are South African then I don't have to say much because most of South Africa have already seen and loved it.For South Africans 8 out of 10. For the rest of the world 3 out of 10.
