N!xau, the Namibian bushman who rose to brief fame with his role as a tribesman who goes in search of the origins of a Coke bottle in 1980's THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY, would have turned 70 today, at least according to IMDb. While GODS never led to much of a huge career or paycheck (he was reportedly paid a few hundred dollars for the blockbuster hit), he did go on to star in four increasingly low-rent and wacky sequels to the film, only one of which made it to U.S. shores but that proved to be much better in Asia. Here's the third entry in the series, the Golden Harvest-produced CRAZY SAFARI, also released as THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY III, in which me meets hopping vampires and the spirit of Bruce Lee.
