The meaning of Bunny Chow - Bunny Chow review by AW
Yes, I wondered what the heck the title meant too! That's what drew me to it.
At the begining of this film the main character goes to a takeaway to get a BUNNY CHOW. And no, no rabbits were harmed in this transaction nor any rabbit meat used!
Bunny chow is a distinctive South African fast food consisting of any kind of curry mix contained in a hollowed out round bread loaf. The boys are seen eating it communally with their fingers. I'd love to try it - but the film was still boring and incomprehensible.

Muddled and muddied - Bunny Chow review by BN
What to say about this film?
Said to be a comedy but I found it singularly UNfunny. I got it expecting to see a side of modern South Africa from the non-tourist aspect. It was also filmed in B&W which I thought worked against it. A bit of colour (ha!)would have helped. It was frenetic and contained a number of oddball characters (mostly men trying to get a 'leg over') and a lot of drugs, on their way to a big rock concert that sounded the SA equivalent of Glastonbury, but we're not given much of a view
of it, nor much of the supposed routines of these stand up comedians. Half of the dialogue was incomprehensible due to the heavily accented English mixed with Afrikaans and possibly other local tongues (the Afrikaans being the only bit given any subtitles) so a lot of the meaning of the plot was sadly obscured. I persevered to the end thinking it'd somehow get better but...nah.. Oh well, on to the next disc...
