Mexican
cult director Rene Cardona Jr took his crew and a boatload of International
genre actors to the wilds of South America for this incredible jungle
adventure. Obviously, he was influenced by the mega-popular Italian exploitation
films (EATEN
ALIVE, NUDE
AND SAVAGE, CANNIBAL
HOLOCAUST, etc); and - in a surprising turn of events - managed
to deliver a film that surpasses the Euro counterparts. It's filled with
sudden violence, frenzied cannibals, killer crabs, and much much more.
Lots of machismo and female nudity.
A ragtag
group of adventurers - including a die-hard Nazi and a high-flying oil
hunter - is led by a half-maddened grizzled treasure hunter named Gringo
who wants a second chance to find the mythical treasure of the Amazon,
after his first mission went terrible wrong.
