Plot summary
In an English auction room, a young businessman buys an ancient corpse and discovers it is the body of his third great-grandfather. He wants to bury it properly in Hong Kong, so he hires a good-natured Taoist priest to keep it from turning into an irrepressible vampire, using a yellow talisman. The two of them book a private charter flight home with the body. Over Africa the plane malfunctions, and a fight breaks out with the pilot; the passengers and the corpse are separated as they go down by parachute. The corpse comes down in front of Xixo, a bushman whose tribe takes it as a gift from the gods, while the descendant and the priest come down far away and must cross unfamiliar country to find it.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Crazy Safari (1991)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Crazy Safari was shot twice: after performing each scene in Cantonese, the same actors and crew did it again in English, because the film was expected to be popular worldwide and dubbing was not desired.
- The English version of Crazy Safari is not a dub but a separate filming with partially different actors: some scenes use different actors, some actors take on different roles, and the two versions run at different lengths.
