A new trailer and artwork for Leon Schuster’s latest comic caper Mad Buddies have been released on the movie’s official Facebook page, with less than three months to go until its nationwide release on 22 June 2012.
From flying ostriches and marauding lions to irate politicians and conniving beauties, the new Mad Buddies trailer expands on the story of Boetie (Schuster) and Beast (Kenneth Nkosi). Two sworn enemies who, to escape a prison sentence following an unfortunate encounter at a the wedding of the Tourism Minister’s (Alfred Ntombela) daughter, are tricked by a scheming TV Producer Kelsey (Tanit Phoenix) into walking from Kwa-Zulu Natal to Gauteng.
With a goal of ending the journey as friends, the pair is unwittingly playing part in the newest and biggest reality show to hit the country…until their plight is revealed and they join forces to exact revenge.

From the over-zealous cafe owner (Elize Cawood), to the flamboyant farmer Daisy (Anthony Bishop) and many more, strap yourselves in for an unforgettable celebration of what it means to be South African in all its colours, creeds and dimensions.
