Panic Mechanic (1996)
Als Hanky Pranky (alias Schucks), ster van een candid camera TV-show, zijn baan aan positieve discriminatie verliest, solliciteert hij voor een baan bij een stress-Academie. Het duurt niet lang voordat Schucks erachter komt dat zijn nieuwe baas, Jack Paddaman, zo corrupt is als ze maar zijn kunnen. Maar het is al te laat, de arbeidsovereenkomst is ondertekend. Een jaar gaat voorbij, en Schucks heeft het nog net zo slecht. Echter, zijn candid camera video's, die de draak steken met alles van Zuid-Afrika van voor de apartheid, blijken een grote hit met gestreste regeringsministers. Een komedie met een duidelijk Zuid-Afrikaanse smaak.
