Details

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.

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
bennett19652003 I couldn't disagree more with many reviewers who say that you have to be South African to understand or enjoy this movie. I'm a Brit who's just watched this movie with my Zimbabwean wife, and i fell about laughing almost the whole way through. It's just so funny and pokes fun at just about everyone, i mean there's the potential to offend several races or colours in this film, but if you have a sense of humour you'll understand it's actually a clever movie that blends satire,slapstick,gross out,political,culture and gender based jokes into one great big funny melting pot. But it almost feels affectionately insulting and i for one am fed up with Political correctness anyway,the Prince Charles and Camilla sequences were funny despite the sensitivity of that story. But the last half hour is pure classic slapstick physical comedy, its like watching a blend of Laurel and Hardy meets Home Alone in the African bush. I can't say a bad word about this movie, it's one of the funniest i've seen in years. I will watch this again and again...treat yourself and buy it and prepare to be all laughed out afterwards !!
tai_jessie I'm doing a film presentation on the movie for school. And the coolest thing about it is that the 'traps' part reminds me of Home Alone. It's really amazing of how the 'make-up' worked... in switching the two men! really, i've watched it at least 5 times, and i laughed everytime.
MarioAna I cannot stress how important it is that you understand the complexity of the diversity of race and culture in South Africa before watching this movie.If you are not South African this movie will be terrible, the jokes will not be funny (you will miss most of them anyway), the portrayal of the black vs. white issue will not be funny but instead come across as racist drivel. You will also judge this movie against the massive big-budgeted-blockbuster Hollywood films, which is unfair because this is a South African made movie working on a tiny budget with South African filmmakers who have very limited experience, it is also directly aimed at the South African market and I feel it was a mistake to release it internationally.However, if you are South African then I don't have to say much because most of South Africa have already seen and loved it.For South Africans 8 out of 10. For the rest of the world 3 out of 10.
mrdudd I personally don't agree to some of the reviews I have read about "Yankee Zulu" or There's A Zulu on my Stoep (as I know it!). Set and made in South Africa, it is clearly targeted at a South African audience. Being South African myself, I really liked the movie, and would encourage anyone to see it, but I do warn that like any culture, we have our own sense of humor, and people might find it to be "dreck", as said by a reviewer here on IMDB, but for some people it is funny and they are surely allowed to have movies to watch too, aren't they? The probable reason why it was released in countries like the USA and Britain is probably so that South Africans there can see it too, I don't know, but I just think it has to be considered that people find different things funny, and personally I find it to be very good, but see it for yourself, see what you think.
