Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
this was an unexpected delight, as a well crafted "b movie" with a delicious playmate, classic jungle adventure plot an a sense of humor in spite of thin finances and straight to video release. oiling Kathy before her confrontation with her jungle natives fate is yummy an extended with the director knowing what will entertain his audience. The natives are near nude and seem quite authentic, an used to the jungle and nudity. Shot on an Indian ocean island, the director used the hired natives to great advantage. I've loved jungle movies since the first Tarzan i saw, and this is not a cheap Ramar of the jungle quickie, but something for the 2nd on a twin bill in the fifties. "tarzan and his mate" had beautiful nudity, as a loinclothed Maureen O'sullivan dressed for her mate and a hot steamy jungle, which produced a very modern sexual content to a "black white oldie". The hayes office was not amused an it was heavily censored. But i digress, an highly recommended a very good "b movie" with humor, sexy actors, and an interesting plot.
When will this movie be released on DVD? With all the older movies being re-released on DVD, you would think they would get around to it sooner or later. I know that it is not much more than a cheap Indiana Jones knock off, but it did have it's highlights, and was at least as good as some of the crap Hollywood has been releasing lately. Besides, it doesn't look like Spielberg and Lucas are having any luck getting Indiana Jones 4 off the ground any time soon. It won't be long before Ford is too old to be willing to put the fedora on again, anyway. David Kieth is no real substitute, but Tennessee Buck does have a tendency to get your attention. Perhaps my interest in the film isn't exactly on the high road, but when did that ever stop a movie from being released? It was a nice change of pace to see a movie that didn't try to offend, but didn't really care if it did.
David Keith has Directed and played in a lot of his own films. As he did both in this Movie.I think it was a great film. It keeps you going you never know what's coming next. Kathy Shower plays a big city wife in the jungle for her first time and has to learn that she can't dress and act like she's still in the city. Her Husband ends up getting killed and she gets kidnaped and raped by the jungle people. So David Keith has to come in and save the day.A very good film, but keep the kids away from this one.
Although this is generally a cheesy jungle-adventure movie, it does have some highlights - the settings are quite beautiful, and the pacing of the adventure is good. You won't be bored watching it.Keith is as breezy as possible playing the eponymous lead, an unabashedly drunk jungle guide shanghai'd into escorting rich boy Van Hoffman and his gorgeous wife Shower on a hunting expedition in cannibal country. He never takes things seriously . Shower is there as decoration and Keith makes extensive use of her - she doesn't really have to act much. She's not the only female to show off her body and the prurient aspects of the film make it about halfway to a T/A picture.There's nothing in this film that would draw specific attention to it, or away from it. Produced to be shlock, it succeeds without too much fuss. A good 2 AM cable programmer.
