The most unusually located South African drive-in cinema is the Top Star Drive-In, situated on top of one of Johannesburg's mine dumps (most of which are currently being re-mined for residual gold). The massive drive-in screen competes with amazing views of the city. This location overlooks Johannesburg, and you can see for miles around. The drive-in is signposted from the M2 motorway.
"Ag pleeez Daddy, won't you take us to the Drive-In/ All six, seven of us, eight nine ten / We wanna see the fliek about Tarzan the Ape-Man / and when the show is over you can take us home again" - Jeremy Taylor
