CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Steineded How sad is this?

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

JHC3 Before I start this review, I must make one point. When I review a film, I make sure I see the entire thing no matter how foul it is. If it is so bad that I walk out, I won't review it. I suffered through this so that you, the IMDb user, will have ample warning. Don't let my agony be wasted.Where should I begin? Echoing other reviewers, I can confirm that this film's 'plot' is virtually indescribable in any specific way. As far as I can tell, a guide in the Amazon loses the group he is responsible for only to be hired to locate them again. Somehow this involves an American naturalist in the Congo. Virtually the entire film is dominated by a ceaseless narrative. Veteran actor Marshall Thompson is little more than an image on the screen. Any dialogue he and the other actors had was virtually eradicated by the drone of the narrator's voice. Characterizing this film as dull, confusing, incoherent, and pointless is agrotesque understatement. The extensive use of stock footage makes this more of a travelogue than the exciting jungle adventure I thought I had rented. Is this the worst movie ever made? Well, if it isn't it is certainly a compelling candidate for the dishonor. Please, please, please save yourself the loss of money and your precious time. Avoid at all costs!In a side-note, this film absolutely deserves to be on the bottom 100 list. However, for it to qualify, it must receive at least 625 votes. One can only hope that this film is never seen by that many IMDb users.

pyrite-1 Just a brief note as that is all this movie merits. I rented this movie because the video cover described an action packed adventure, or something like that. This was back in the early 1980's. To my amazement, I saw it again on TV a month or so later. I could not believe any TV station would have the stones to show this thing to the public. The only, and I mean only thing of interest is how the movie portray a peyote trip after one of the guys eats a bunch of it by mistake. The guy in Africa I think? No South America. I can't remember as the narrator keeps jumping back and forth between two stories on both sides of the Atlantic. And no, it is not my summary that is confusing, the movie is really one big HUH? Absolutely the worst movie ever made.

DudeyMcDude I wish to god it was just a hallucination because then I wouldn't have to wake up to night sweats thinking about how horrible this movie was. This would have been a great movie if it werent for the pointless plot, the unreal amounts of stock footage, the incessant plodding of the narrator (yes! a narrator!), the lies on the back of the box, the acting and basically the entire production value. As of this review, this movie isnt on the worst 100 list, but it should be... it should be. So if you're reading this ... go get the mighty jungle!! Did I mention that it's actually funny at some points? Not really 'haha, that guy said something funny' funny, but more like 'I have to laugh to relieve the pressure that's mounting on the inside of my head' funny. So rent and enjoy!!!1 out of 10.

HoJoo All I can say about this movie is "wow, that was bad!" I admit, i was in tears laughing about 15 minutes into the movie - but it was from a combination of the rediculous narration and the horrible horrible pain the movie was causing me. Essentially, this guy and a guide go back into the jungle to look for his lost party; along the way you will witness about an hours worth of stock animal footage (supposedly of the Congo, but there is a fair bit of American wildlife mixed in) and 20 minutes of rediculous wanderin through the jungle. The movie cuts back to another jungle traveller now and again showing how easy of a time he is having, while the other two are facing a life and death struggle. The point of the movie seems to be that if you respect the jungle, you will be okay, but if you are looking for treasure, the jungle is a horrible place. In the end this is a horrible movie that leaves you screaming for the hour and a half of your life back. If you love to rent bad movies, then i would recommend this one - cuz its a whole new level of bad!
