The Gods Must Be Crazy II (1990)
Xixo is back again. This time, his children accidentally stow away on a fast-moving poachers' truck, unable to get off, and Xixo sets out to rescue them. Along the way, he encounters a couple of soldiers trying to capture each other and a pilot and passenger of a small plane, who are each having a few problems of their own.

Must See Movie...
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
The Gods Must Be Crazy II. Movie takes you again into the wild yet simple world of Xixo played efficiently by N!xau and how simple mistakes turn into the hilarious situations. The whole writing is filled with funny ideas and conversations which are simple and touching and director handles the things with an easy hand making you laugh and care at the same time and how he gets the best work from animals in the jungle. Lena Farugia playing beautiful Dr. Ann Taylor is always into the center of the problems and does an astounding job. There are many funny moments like scenes involving the tiny twin engine plane, Ann fighting with monkeys over a glass of water and my favorite Hans Strydom's love hate relationship with a wild creature who is stuck to his boot. I am going with good 7 out of 10 for The Gods Must Be Crazy II. I bet you have not seen such a funny and touching comedy over the wild world of Africa.
This sequel has the same innocence and joy of the first one, just not as much. It's nice, but gets a little self-conscious. Part of the joy and purity of the first one is that it hadn't looked in the mirror too much. This one - well, it's still good, it'll lighten your heart to watch it, but you'll check your watch once or twice. The first movie moved on the premise one Coke bottle in the garden of Eden could corrupt it. (They did a totally believable job of it, too, you ought to check out the first picture.) Civilization is a little heavier handed this time. This picture has some of that contrived feel that most sequels have. But it's still a pleasure. How often do you see real joy in a picture, family love, innocence - and lots of laughs? A slapstick cops and robbers type of plot. The kids loved it.
This was one of the funniest family films i have ever seen. i was young when i saw it, but i still love it. my whole family loves it and after renting it 4 times we finally bought it. there is very little colorful language and although its not as original as the first one, it is just as funny (if not more so). you've gotta check it out. maybe its a little on the cheesy side, but it's so original...and teaches you a lesson: are we really so much advanced than these people? ignorance is bliss...
The Gods Must Be Crazy II (1989) C-97 min. D: Jamie Uys. N!xau, Lena Farugia, Hans Strydom, Eiros, Nadies, Erick Bowen. Sequel to the hit box-office smash is just as funny, concerning the bushman's quest to find his children, who have been `kidnapped' by a pair of poachers. Meanwhile, two inept soldiers are out to make each other suffer through slapstick catastrophes and a duo of scientists find themselves lost in the desert. Farugia is hilarious as the anti-nature scientist, while Bowen is funny as well (as a Cuban soldier who loses his sense of direction every few minutes). RATING: 8 out of 10. Rated PG for partial nudity, slapstick violence, and strong language.
