I use a very small crew, only seven people. Next thing you know, four years are over.” Th sequel was further delayed a year because of the collapse of Wein- traub Entertainment Group, which had bought the release rights. Colum- bia Pictures opened the film April 13. The Gods Must Be Crazy was a phenomenon, bringing world fame to five years Uys (pronounced Ace) and his star, Nixau (don’t even try to pronounce it). Nixau played a bushman of the Kalihari desert whose discovery of a Coca-Cola bottle dropped from an airplane prompted the film’s events. In the new film, he returns, ingenuous as ever, speaking the click sounds of his tribe’s language. Some critics have fretted than N!- xau's stardom introduced him to a civilized world with which he might not be able to cope. “He never showed any culture shock,’’ Uys says, adding that the Bushmen ‘‘are a very integrated people, you know; there is a wholeness about them that you can’t break-up.”* As for the adulation that came with stardom, ‘‘He enjoys it, and he’s $ 100M HOLLYWOOD (AP) — Pretty Woman, a comedy about a itute, claimed top spot at Box 48, Christine Loke, B.C.

Boksburg, South Africa, and taught school until he turned to making films in 1950, His early films were shown only to Afrikaners, but Uys began attracting wider attention with films such as The Great Adjustment and Lost in the Desert. The Gods Must Be Crazy grew out of his 25 years of filmmaking in the Kalihari. “About 20 years ago, | first met the Bushmen,"’ relates the director, leather-faced from long days under the desert sun. "Tl fell in love” with them. ‘*What struck me about them was that they have no sense of property, no sense of ownership. I found that intriguing: Why were they different from everyone else in the world? We're all acquisitive, and they're not. “I probably started wondering what would cause them to become like us. That's how the story began.”’ The Gods Must Be Crazy cost $5 million US, and Uys has heard reports of a $200-million world gross.
