No, this isn't an Italian rip-off of RAMBO. It's actually an Italian TARZAN knock-off, which is a weird thing to be making in the 1970's but whatever. It starts out as a pretty serious film about a couple of convicts escaping from a train that's transporting them. They end up lost in the jungle and after just a couple of years one of them, the one that doesn't end up dead, becomes king of the jungle and protector of all African natives! Things then get pretty campy with ridiculous 8 on 1 fight scenes, animal antics and even a ridiculous-looking gorilla in a quite unconvincing old-timey gorilla suit. Brad Harris, who previously played Hercules and Samson, is perfect as our hero and this one's hard to dislike if you just want something that's dumb fun.
Extra stupid trailer!:
