Panic Mechanic
When Hanky Pranky (Leon Schuster), star of a candid camera TV show, loses his job to affirmative action, he applies for a job at a stress academy. It´s not long before Schucks discovers his new boss, Jack Paddaman, is as crooked as they come, but it´s too late: the employment contract is signed and sealed.
A year passes, and Schucks is no better off. However, his candid camera videos, which poke fun at all sectors of post-1994 South Africa, prove a big hit with stressed-out government ministers. When the president asks Paddaman to make a movie to benefit street children, Schucks and his pals do all the hard work while Paddaman plans how he can get hold of the profits from the video sales. Add a scatterbrained secretary, a lovelorn traffic cop and a cunning street child and you have a roll-in-the aisles comedy with a distinctly South African flavour.

Hello friends, please help, I’m from Russia and a big fan of Leon Schuster and really want to see the movie “Panic Mechanic”. In Russia, this film is not translated. And actually looking for ANY subtitles in any language for this film, to later be translated into Russian.
Thanks in advance.
went to Pick’n Pay today with my wife and her friend. Whilst waiting in the car, an idea crossed my mind. I got out off the car and asks customers for a shop called “Pay and Pick”. The best was inside the store from one of the employees giving me directitions to a store which doest not exist.
I could not belive the response of customers – helpful but not knowing.
I am Austrian and have an accent – we had a laughther.
Maybe a hint.
