Oh Shucks Here Comes Untag
Kwagga Robertse owns a farm shop in the fictional Southern African country of Nambabwe and usually cons foreign tourists by pretending to kill a lion, thus earning him the nickname 'Urumbo' (Lion Killer) from the country's natives. Kwagga is upset when the UN sends a platoon of incompetent soldiers with the United Nations Transition Assistance Group (U.N.T.A.G.), to monitor the peace process, and ensure free and fair elections after the Nambabwean War for Independence. The U.N.T.A.G's American leader, Major Bradick D. Mackay and his second-in-command, Captain Zapman are offered a diamond worth a lot of money in the U.S., and they must pay 200,000 USD to Duan Robertse, Kwagga's competitive brother trying to buy a farm left to them by their dead father.
Oh Shucks It¿¿s Schuster
King of the South African box office and candid camera prankster extraordinaire Leon Schuster does what he does best in this one-hour collection of some of his funniest set-up escapades. There is the case of the petrol attendant who seems almost to jump out of his skin when a motorist suddenly pulls a rifle out of his boot and starts shooting at a "live zebra" which has just emerged from the bush. A taxi-load of commuters tumbles out of every available vehicle door when the abandoned suitcase they have just picked up on the side of the highway ends up containing not clothes, but a live python. And trainee traffic officers quickly start rethinking their careers when a superior crazily orders them to act like a traffic light. These are just a few of the uproarious hoaxes that Schuster plays on unsuspecting members of the public, well-known sportsmen and South African celebrities.
Panic Mechanic
When Hanky Pranky (alias Schucks), star of a candid camera TV show, loses his job to affirmative action, he applies for a job at a stress academy. It¿¿s not long before Schucks discovers his new boss, Jack Paddaman, is as crooked as they come, but it¿¿s too late: the employment contract is signed and sealed.A year passes, and Schucks is no better off. However, his candid camera videos, which poke fun at all sectors of post-1994 South Africa, prove a big hit with stressed-out government ministers. When the president asks Paddaman to make a movie to benefit street children, Schucks and his pals do all the hard work while Paddaman plans how he can get hold of the profits from the video sales. Add a scatterbrained secretary, a lovelorn traffic cop and a cunning street child and you have a roll-in-the aisles comedy with a distinctly South African flavour.
Sweet & Short

There¿¿s a Zulu On My Stoep

You Must be Joking
Leon Schuster foxes everyone in this hilarious look at South African life. He established his reputation for disguise and setting up hilarious situations for candid camera-like moments with You Must Be Joking. The first of a string of South African top-grossing movies devised by Schuster, it features hidden cameras capturing the spontaneous reactions of an unsuspecting public to unusual circumstances. While the featured scenarios are unlikely to occur in real life, unwary victims are caught out time and again on camera.
You Must be Joking Too
Hot on the heels of You Must Be Joking comes more candid camera fun from the man whose name is synonymous with laughter in South African films. This time, Leon Schuster plays a filmmaker who is making a candid camera movie, only to discover that another filmmaker has stolen his ideas and is making the identical picture. How so? It seems that the thieving rival is blackmailing Schuster¿¿s girlfriend. With the help of his friends and an ingenious talking cap that he designed himself, the good director manages to outwit the baddie, get the girl and make the country laugh.
