Yankee Zulu

1993 · 100 min

A loud, silly chase comedy that throws disguises, slapstick and broad jokes at you without pause.

Tagline: If the gods were crazy... now they're berserk.
Overview: Two South African boys, one white, Rhino, and one black, Zulu, go their separate ways after an incident. Many years later, they meet up again as adults, when one, after living for years in the United States, is now a wanted criminal. The two end up being a part of a madcap chase involving a check for a large amount of lottery money, pursued by Gen. Diehard and Rhino's ex-wife Rowena, who was the cause of the rift between the two protagonists.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, campy and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
