Crazy Safari (Chinese: 非洲和尚; pinyin: Fei zhou he shang; literally: An African Buddhist Monk) also known as N!xau The Bushman, The Gods Must Be Crazy III, and Vampires Must Be Crazy is a 1991 Hong Kong comedy film, directed by Billy Chan. The film is a sequel to The Gods Must Be Crazy II. It was followed by Crazy Hong Kong (1993) and The Gods Must Be Funny in China (1994).

Plot

An ancient but still fleshy Chinese corpse is on auction in the United States. A young businessman (Sam Christopher Chow) purchases the corpse, (which is the body of his great-great-great-grandfather), in order to give it a proper burial in Hong Kong. The corpse must become active through the enchanted commands of a Taoist priest to control the corpse's movements, and to keep it from becoming an irrepressible vampire. To achieve this a good-natured Taoist priest (Lam Ching Ying) attaches a yellow talisman with red Chinese script to the forehead of the corpse, and this talisman must remain on the corpse's forehead at all times if the priest is to maintain control of the cadaver. The young descendant and the Taoist priest decides that the best way to get the valued ancestor home is via a direct flight to Hong Kong on a private jet.

During the flight the plane malfunctions and an altercation breaks out between the ruthless pilot and our heroes. Luckily the priest is a kung fu master, so our heroes (including the grisly auction lot) prevail and abscond from the troublesome plane by using parachutes.

The corpse lands in front of Xixo, where he and his tribe are being confronted by a rival clan led by two greedy and merciless white people. The corpse's presence scares away the villains, but only momentarily. Xixo somehow learns to control the corpse, and he takes it to his tribe. Soon he and his family think it is a gift from God, as it aids them in various matters.

The businessman and the priest land in a vast and dry area miles away from Xixo's home. They must face the dangers of lions, rhinoceroses, baboons, and so forth in order to recover the corpse and leave the continent. During this time the corpse forms a strong bond with the warm-hearted and compassionate Xixo and his family. The rival clan is still after what Xixo's homeland has as a natural abundance: diamonds.
