    The Monday morning after I saw The Gods Must Be Crazy I phoned the Bronx Zoo to ask whether rhinos really stomp campfires out, and the switchboard connected me to someone in the mammals department. I said, "I just saw 'The Gods Must Be Crazy'," and before I could say another word they said, "No,

    It also means that Shaka the Zulu and the guy who starred in The Gods Must Be Crazy are less closely related than Montezuma and Hernando Cortés ("the killer" in Neil Young's song).

    I told my girlfriend about the Sam Peckinpah movie where James Caan becomes a ninja and now we're outlining the movie where James Caan, a Boer captured at birth by his racial enemies, becomes a Zulu warrior. "The most racist movie of the seventies!" "Makes The Gods Must Be Crazy look like Shaft!"

    My father, a man in his then-early-50s who got his GED in the Army and only watches war movies and westerns, once grabbed “The Gods Must Be Crazy” off a video rental shelf because…well, I still don’t know why. It was his favorite movie for *decades*. Browse. You learn things about yourself.

    Oh spirits, how I wish I'd been able to learn French despite everything. Personally, I love in the movie "The Gods Must Be Crazy", two mercenaries meet up, and they literally do go through all the languages they know. And are both disgusted the only one in common is English.
