Director Michele Massimo Tarantini was mainly known for his Italian sexploitation and poliziesco entries before he headed to the Amazonas to shoot his magnum opus. As a relatively late, 1985 addition to the Italian ’80s jungle and cannibal movie craze, Tarantini turned the disturbing violence somewhat down to replace it with cheap eroticism and the signature narrative nonsense which is the defining feature of Italosploitation.
Our ragtag group of adventurers, consisting of a dinosaur bone hunter, an old professor, his daughter, a bunch of suspiciously underdressed “fashion models” and a ‘Nam vet with both PTSD and a spiteful wife head deep into the jungle to do what again...? Eh, does it really matter? All you need to know is that after the most charming toy plane crash they will find themselves facing a brand new life threatening challenge every 3 minutes. Come and see for yourself who will survive to fly away to the sunset with the treasure of the Amazonas at the end!
