Here is a relatively
unknown film from Umberto Lenzi's Jungle Period, made shortly after his
notorious CANNIBAL
FEROX
(MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY) [1981] and EATEN
ALIVE BY CANNIBALS (1980). This one - obviously lighter fare than
his cannibal gore pics - concentrates on the adventures of jungle girl
Luana, her chimpanzee and the two adventurers from the States.
Two college students from New York - Ringo and Butch - decide to vacation
in the Amazon. Shortly after arriving in Brazil, while getting their supplies
together, they provoke the anger of a local trafficker. His ruffians beat
them up. Wanting to get away from the drama, Ringo and Butch rent a boat
and start sailing down the river. Soon they must abandon their craft to
avoid a waterfall and they become hopelessly lost. The boys wander into
a small village where the natives eye them warningly. But they meet a
beautiful blonde jungle girl - the last survivor of a helicopter crash
from many years before - and she introduces them to her paradise. Thing
get dangerous for everybody when the trafficker and his henchmen invade
the village.
