A plane headed for Manaos was to take a forbidden detour to the famed Valley
of Dinosaurs at the request of famed paleontologist professor Ibanez
(Leonidas Bayer) - but then the plane crashes in the middle of the jungle,
the professor and quite a few others are killed, and now it's up to two
he-men, adventurer Kevin (Michael Sopikow) and vietnam veteran John
(Milton Morris) to lead the survivors out of the jungle. At first, John
takes the lead, but it's a constant struggle between the two men over
who's the actual alpha male, a struggle that eventually ends in John
throwing Kevin off a waterfall to his proposed death - Kevin survives
though ... With Kevin gone, the rest of the group soon find themselves
trailed by cannibals, and when things get tough, John's the first to
abandon his group, but soon he finds himself massacred by his pursuers. Of
the whole group, only the professor's daughter Eva (Suzane Carvalho) and
model Belinda (Susan Hahn) survive - to be taken prisoner by the cannibals
and becoming part of their savage rites. Kevin saves the girls though
before they become the main attraction of the cannibals' dinner table,
too, which leads to a wild chase downriver, which is only decided in the
escapees' favour when Kevin shoots dead the cannibals' chieftain (Samuka). It's
pretty much out of the fire into the frying pan for our heroes though when
they are captured by slaveholder China (Andy Silas), who runs a profitable
mine out there in the jungle, and who decides to keep the two girls as his
sextoys and Kevin to properly mock him. Soon China's girlfriend Myara
(Maria Reis) has sex with Belinda in escape for helping her to escape, but
it was all a trap set up by China in the first place, so he can shoot
Belinda in the back ... Eventually, Kevin manages to free himself, then
he lures China's men out into the jungle, frees all the slaves to go after
China's men and hold them off, and then he has his showdown with China. Of
course he defeats China, then blows up China's camp and his returning men,
and finally steals a helicopter to take him and Eva to safety ... It's
trash-as-trash-can: There's nothing even remotely ambitious let alone
artistic about this film, it's just a pulpy, silly and simplistic
adventure with lots of violence and quite a bit of nudity thrown in, shot
quite obviously on a low budget - and maybe that's what makes the film so
entertaining in a so-bad-it's-good way: There are no false pretensions
here, also no attempts are made at realism, ethnological accuracy or
similar negligibilities, instead we are treated to a stupid boys'
adventure yarn carried by wooden actors, forgettable dialogue, and
sloppily staged action. A piece of trash for sure, but a fun one.
