This one was mostly directed by Jess Franco but then some additional scenes were shot by porn director Alain Payet so there are technically 2 directors of this.
The plot here deals with a group of Amazon women(who live in Africa which is not anywhere near the Amazon but whatever) who inhabit a golden temple ruled over by William Berger in a loincloth. Then things turn into a weird version of TARZAN when a little girl's parents get killed by the Amazons and she ends up a wild jungle woman complete with a pet chimpanzee named Rocky. Then she seeks revenge with some friends including a witch doctor named Koukou and we are treated to various scenes of torture and bad fighting. Franco's adventure films are generally not his best work but this one is at least amusingly stupid in almost every way. There's a menacing hippo, an elephant named Dickie, tons of jiggling naked boobs right out in the open and a chimp ends up being the hero.
Ended up watching this. Did they repeat the opening scene only a few minutes later on purpose?
ReplyDeleteI watched my DVD but I think it's pretty much the same on there. That scene gets repeated twice but slightly differently each time.
