History YMMV / TheGodsMustBeCrazy

---> "Never seen a wall in his life, now he's got them on all sides. Poor little bugger's gonna die for sure."

* TearJerker: Xi being shot, arrested and sent to prison for hunting a goat he had no way of knowing belonged to someone else. As Mpudi sadly puts it:

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Xi returning to his family and his tribe. His young son is the first to run up to his open arms.

** The effect that the one coke bottle has on the bushmen tribe. It's disheartening how it introduces N!xau and his tribe to concepts like greed, fighting, and selfishness. At one point, one of the children argue over the bottle and hits the other with it. The once cheery conversations they had at night have dried up to sullen silence.
** N!xau having to say farewell to his tearful family before he parts on his quest to rid their village of the bottle.

* TearJerker: !Xi being shot, arrested and sent to prison for hunting a goat he had no way of knowing belonged to someone else. As Mpudi sadly puts it:

* HarsherInHindsight: The DVD release of the first film contains a documentary called "Journey to Nyae Nyae," where lead actor N!xau explains the real plight of Bushmen at the time the film was made, and now things had only worsened in the intervening years.

* ItsTheSameSoItSucks: The main complaint about the second movie.
* SpecialEffectsFailure: Being a low budget film, there are lots of them.

** A few traces of blood can be some on some bandages that a few characters wear, this blood is clearly some red artificial stuff that is too bright to be blood.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: Of course, being a low budget film, there are lots of them:
*** When the helicopter explodes, you clearly see a wire holding a model.
*** The shootout scene at the beginning is outright laughable: the gunmen and police officers are simply waving their guns with no fire, bullets or sound coming out of it (the sound of machines guns were simply put afterwards during editing, they didn't even thought about the fire and bullets); apparently the filmmaker didn't have the money to buy some blanks. Those who gets shot simply drop to the ground without any visible gunwound or a simple trace of blood. In simple words, some guys storm in an office with toy guns and everyone drops dead for no reason.

* ValuesDissonance (The heroine, attractive by Western standards, is considered the "ugliest woman [Xi] has ever seen.")

* CrowningMomentOfFunny - A lot. The gate scene is an exercise in EpicFail.
** The scene where the guerrillas are fighting in the banana tree, and one of the guerrillas keeps getting hit in the head with ejected casings from his buddy's assault rifle.
** Land Rover hanging from a tree. Must be seen to be believed.
** "Do the noises in my head bother you?"
** "It's just an interesting psychological phenomenon." Doubles as CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.
** There's also the part where the guerrillas are first barging in on the Prime Minister's cabinet to assassinate him. They kick open the door to gun him down, but it immediately swings closed in their faces.
** From the second movie, ThoseTwoBadGuys:
*** Attempting to hide from a sniper by running behind the same tree, repeatedly.
*** Trying to move while tied back to back.
*** Wondering what else [[HandbagOfHurt she keeps in her bag.]]
** The tenacious honey badger.
