The Gods Must Be Crazy II is a 1989 comedy film directed by Jamie Uys, a sequel to the 1980 cult classic The Gods Must Be Crazy. The film's narrative is similar to its predecessor, following the adventures of the bushman Xixo, played by N!xau, as he tries to retrieve his children, who have been taken by a group of elephant poachers.
