Diamonds of Kilimandjaro Audience Reviews

Clevercell Very disappointing...
Wordiezett So much average
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Dan P Well I think we're all in agreement this movie is pretty bad. The acting was terrible, the storyline was terrible, and script was garbage.First of all, this plane crashes in the middle of some tribe or something and the people inside (a god-father and beautiful god-daughter) are treated as gods? Really? Then, the dude somehow is able to keep his dignity and his clothes, while the girl fully adjusts to this tribal lifestyle, stripping down and baring her breasts, showing no shame in front of the tribesmen or her godfather.Then she learns what sex is by watching white people in the act? How can a girl who has been so generous as to show her ample breasts not know about sex? Do these tribesmen not reproduce? So later white people find her. What is curious is that neither she nor the group of civilized white people (including her very own uncle) are not at all disturbed at seeing a naked white girl. In fact, her indecency isn't even mentioned.So at the end of the movie, a native (naked) witch woman admits that she only treated the god-father and god-daughter as gods so she could destroy them? What?? All in all, this movie sucked. The 20% of the movie I'm referencing in the title are the parts the naked girl is in (I think she's underage actually). This review should have really gotten 2 stars, but I added a few just because of her body.Believe it or not, though, this actress actually did many nude scenes before and after this movie. Strange right? It seems this pretty little actress loves to be looked at. But who's complaining?
TrickTaylor Jess Franco makes exploitation films, and he has made tons of them. Franco is responsible for some of the most shocking films in cinema history, and god bless him for it. Unfortunately, The Diamonds of Kilominjaro is a truly awful movie that is not up to his usual standards.Exploitation films should be judged on story, sex, and gore. What else is there? This film fails on most of those benchmarks. The plot is paper thin, placing a nubile young girl in the jungle among cannibals. We really don't get information on why she and her father were there in the first place. As expected, her father is the "Big White Chief" and she becomes a goddess, sitting in trees, naked. Add fortune hunters and precious stones, and you have your basic rescue the girl for greedy intentions plot line. The characters are stock, not adding an ounce of believability to the proceedings.Gore? None, or at least very little. This film is often mentioned in the same vein as the classic Italian cannibal movies. Those seeking that type of gore need to run the other way. Save for one cheap be-heading, this movie features surprisingly little blood and guts.As best I can tell the only reason this movie exists is so Katja Bienert, Aliene Mess, and Mari Carmen Neieto could run around naked. Actually "Lita" (Mari Carmen Neieto) does the full frontal heavy lifting, while the two jungle ladies are bare chested throughout. Yes, there are love scenes....probably the most sterile Franco has ever supervised. The women are beautiful, but nothing here to really make this movie an erotic classic either.This movie just reeks of low budget buffoonery. The sets are laughable. The acting is horrid, and the editing is confusing. There is no real story to hold this together, and not enough of a budget (or effort) to shock or titillate. I think Franco fans have come to expect more out of the master of exploitation.
DJ Inferno Another no budget-shot which is full of the nudity of some quite plain women as well as a not-existing plot and a set decoration that seems to be taken from the botanic garden of a zoo. In other words: Ruggero Deodato´s film looks like the "Citizen Kane" of the cannibal movies, because any acting, storyline, suspense, dramatic, or even cannibalism... are totally missing in Franco´s flick! There´s some animal documentary footage brought on, but the style doesn´t fit to the rest of the film what causes some real laughable impressions! And former German sex starlet Katja Bienert is only ridiculous in the role of Tarzan-like girl Liana, her scream sounds like a drunk gorilla! Don´t be fooled, folks! Even Franco can do it better! Only for those a must-see who think they should have seen all of this director - a lot of work in view of the 176 films Franco shot!!
todaystomorrow Ummm. A Jess Franco-movie from the early 80's. So what would you expect? Right: actors incapable of acting, incredibly dumb dialogue and a whole lot of joyful nudity (and downright disgusting sex scenes with totally unattractive guys and girls). Which I regard as absolutely worthwhile and entertaining - but that's just my personal opinion. The story? Story?? oh, well, it's kind of a remake of TARZAN, plus some adventure- and cannibal-stuff. But basically it's about seeing Katja Bienert nude, and it works when it comes down to that. Just realize: she was about 15 or 16 when this film was made, and she was really not very shy. Anyway: go get this one if you're able to find it, but be prepared to feel the urge to throw it in the garbage can once you've seen it. P.S.: This film has been re-issued in 1999 by the german label X-RATED CULT MOVIES, but with a different title: MONDO CANNIBALE 4. Obviously for marketing-reasons. Cause you'd better not expect to watch one of the infamous Euro-Cannibal-flics when you put this in. Franco has done better than this. Katja Bienert has, too. But the jungle has never looked more corny. So ... you get the idea. I like it.
