Wow I watched this and The Gods Must Be Crazy a lot as a kid but thought they were both about ten years old. This W is so much older than I thought!
I watched this and tried to show my kids but the audio levels were crazy and they just screamed and screamed and screamed, and I can understand why the kids did not like it, but there is a fabulous movie in there.
Like “rat race”? But not?
Edit: lmao. Rat race is based off of this. My bad.
