March Madness Brings ‘The Gods Must Be Crazy’ To Dvd

The hilarious and original comedy THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY is the star of the selection of DVDs released from Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment next month, out in a DVD twin-set ultimate collector’s pack including its equally endearing sequel.

Horror movie fans will delight in DARKNESS FALLS, a movie dubbed ‘a continued step in the right direction for the horror genre,’ as well as HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE and Steven Seagal’s BELLY OF THE BEAST, while the animated JACKIE CHAN ADVENTURES captures the voice of martial arts mayhem star Jackie Chan.

March will also see a range of DVD titles move into the ‘right price’ category (RRP $19.95) including ADAPTATION, ENOUGH, THE SIXTH DAY, ANITA & ME, THE CABLE GUY, RUN LOLA RUN, SWIMMING UPSTREAM, and ST ELMO’S FIRE.

Standby by for April’s range of DVD releases including super-cop blockbuster S.W.A.T. and action comedy THE MEDALLION.

Release Date: March 18

This highly original comedy is available for the first time on DVD in this twin-set ultimate collector’s pack. Relive all the fun as the bashful bushman Xi collides with the so-called ‘civilised’ world and embarks on an epic adventure in the original THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY and sequel THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY II. Original, insightful, and decidedly absurd, this DVD collection of these two great films is truly a gift from the comedy gods. Special features highlights include behind-the-scenes features ‘Journey To Nyae’ and ‘Buster Reynolds remembers Jamie Uys,’ and a Baraka school photo gallery.

DARKNESS FALLS

An action comedy about a pair of mismatched, unappreciated cops trying to find time between their chaotic personal lives to solve a major murder case on the streets of Tinsel Town.

This fast-paced funny film is captured on DVD with a director audio commentary and three behind-the-scenes featurettes on the making of the movie with cast and crew interviews. Starring Hollywood heroes Harrison Ford (WHAT LIES BENEATH, PATRIOT GAMES) and rising star Josh Hartnett (PEARL HARBOUR, BLACK HAWK DOWN) who lead a great ensemble cast, HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE is by the director of WHITE MEN CAN’T JUMP and DARK BLUE and the producer of ANGER MANAGEMENT and THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT.
