Gods must be funny in china (Gods Must be crazy 5) is the last of the HK films with Nixau, and its the 2nd best of the 3.
It goes for out and out laughs, Nixau gets involved in some kind of team race, and i know there is a panda in it too.
Cynthia Khan and Kent Cheng also star.
Well worth checking out for fans of HK comedy or fans of the Gods must be crazy.
9 out of 10.

By the time Hong Kong films its third film featuring African bushman N!xau, his character has really gotten pretty commercialized and ridiculed into goofiness and idiocy. In this film, the bushman supposedly travels to Beijing where he's recruited to join a track team on a survival race through the Chinese wilderness.
Plenty of unfunny nonsensical comic stuff and goofy acting, with a plot that really goes all over the place. OK to give it a pass.
Grade D--

Terrible! - if one word could describe this movie, this is it. The acting is atrocious and the storyline is non-existent. The supposed 'funny bits' will only make you cringe and you are forever waiting for the end to come. If you haven't watched it yet - save yourself the time.
The last movie in the career of THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY star N! Xau is perhaps the least of his work, but not without merit for fans of wacky Hong Kong comedies. This one's a cheap but enthusiastic ensemble piece partially shot on the Great Wall. It involves Kent Cheng and N! Xau becoming enlisted into a team racing as part of a competition, and they have to fend off rivals including a random panda-hunting businessman, Arabs and some Shaolin monks. Cynthia Khan pops up as a jungle dweller and Cheng Pei Pei plays the trainer. There's a random interlude in the middle with a whole bunch of obviously circus-trained animals which can be hard to stomach, although the pandas are admittedly cute.
No matter how funny you may think it would be to rent out this "sequel" to the Gods Must be Crazy, believe me when you pop it in the VCR and start watching it the word "excruciating" will take on a whole new meaning.
