A glass Coke bottle falls from the sky and somehow launches one of the most unexpected movie hits of the 1980s.
This week on The VHS Club, Katie and Nat head to the Kalahari Desert to revisit The Gods Must Be Crazy, the quirky South African comedy that became a word-of-mouth sensation and a video store favorite. We discuss the film's unique premise, unforgettable physical comedy, surprising global success, and whether it still works for modern audiences.
Along the way, we'll explore behind-the-scenes trivia, the movie's unusual journey to cult-classic status, and why a simple Coca-Cola bottle became one of the most memorable movie props of the decade.
Was this a forgotten gem worth rediscovering, or should it stay in the VHS era?
