Not altogether bad but pretty disgusting scenes especially during the finale. However, Ursula Andress and Stacy Keach were good along with some great scenary filming in Sri Lanka. **2.75/5**

Shown recently from a pretty pristine 16mm print, our cinema host informed us that they had contacted Ursula Andress for a quick introductory quote. Her people said she had no recollection of ever having been in the film - and now that I've watched it, I can't say I blame her. In the best "King Solomon's Mines" tradition, "Susan" (UA) recruits the services of the jungle-savvy "Prof. Foster" (Stacey Keach) so they can head to the Guinean jungle to find her treasure-seeking husband who has clearly read the script and done a bunk. What now ensues is a romp through the (Sri Lankan) jungle facing perilous creatures intent on eating everyone, irked natives intent on eating everyone and a cannibal god who is, well, intent on eating everyone... To be fair, the photography is quite lively amidst the foliage, but the acting is almost as bad as the dialogue and by the change to the third reel, most of the audience were firmly hoping that the poisoned darts might be heading our way instead! On a serious note - there is some rather graphic animal slaughter that might cause some upset, but that's all over very quickly allowing the rest of it to make you scratch your head and wonder how this was ever made - and whom for. Every now and again you have to watch an howler to appreciate better movie making - this is certainly one of those - and it does! One to avoid, sorry.
