Watch Daughter of the Jungle For Free

Truly Dreadful Film

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Umberto Lenzi, the pioneer of disturbingly gory cannibal films, directs. A strange change of pace for this director and the jungle genre. Be advised, this is a dumb, unfunny slapstick comedy-adventure with cardboard characters and comic book villains. There's even a comedic fat guy thug who constantly falls down or gets conked on the head. Hilarious. Probably better in the original Italian as the English dubbing is horrible. Our heroes are a pair of knucklehead dudes from New York who seem to have wandered in from some frat-boy sex comedy (which were popular at the time). After pointlessly wasting a half-hour of screen time, they get stranded in the Amazon jungle -- which just happens to be full of African wildlife. They stumble across hostile natives, semi-comic-relief criminal goons hunting for rubies, and Luana, a beautiful blond jungle girl (Sabrina Siani from "White Cannibal Queen"). Luana cavorts with a chimp, swings on vines, talks to elephants, swims topless, and does a classic Tarzan yell. After getting an eyeful of Luana, one guy says: "Edgar Rice Burroughs got it all wrong." (That's the funniest line in the film.) The dopey dialog is loaded with wisecracks that reference other films ("you got it all over Bo what's-her-name"). She grew up alone after her parents perished following a helicopter crash-landing. Among the many implausible plot points is the repair of the helicopter that's been rusting away for 16 years. We're also supposed to believe these clueless dolts can somehow refine crude oil sludge into gasoline without any technology. Okay, whatever... The only saving grace is the absolutely gorgeous Sabrina Siani, one of the most appealing and sexy jungle girls to come down the pike. She wears a skimpy leather top and a barely-there thong that hides none of her fabulous caboose. Siani has the kind of perfect posterior that anthropologists should study and document for future generations. Fortunately, we have this film. Everything else in this dreadful "Sheena" rehash is instantly forgettable.

Ineptly presented, but surprisingly not that bad to watch. Being the guy from ElectricLadyLand, I am of course here for just one reason, Sabrina Siani. Be warned that you have to wait for her appearance, about 30 minutes just like that other reviewer warned me beforehand. As the movie starts, it holds very little promise, it is a far, far cry from Hollywood production standards, but those two chumps aren't as bad as I thought they were gonna be. Yes, the dubbing is ludicrous, but holds a certain charm in its own way. Here I have to mention that I initially feared my copy would not feature an English soundtrack, so after the relief, I was just thankful I did have this long-sought-after item in all its splendor.Which, of course, is Sabrina Siani. That reviewer from North Carolina who reckons she's got too much junk in the trunk is really off course. That's the way an ideal voluptuous girl is supposed to look, and praise to The Good Old Days, no fake implants, just nice boobies :)-8 unspoiled by Dr Frankensteins. My most valuable comment here, compared to your other reviewers, would be to point out that these boobies are rather inconsequential compared to the lovely, lovely rear view shots. A buttock fetishist's dream. So, you guys out there, go for it! Loved the referrals to Bo Derek, Blue Lagoon and Endless Love. Clearly, Mr Lenzi was in high spirits working with a pretty half-naked girl. What kind of person wouldn't be? By the way, here's how to show off pretty legs to full effect: let her ride on the back of an elephant's neck. Wow! Double wow!The jungle language used in the movie does seem to be genuine, as that Ikona yell is similar to a local 'no'.The director had as much chance to get a lift- off from this as that rusted helicopter hulk would have lifted off in real life. But if you're expecting a total letdown of a movie, you will be surprised.

I'm always on the lookout for any film that might offer a little Italian cannibal action, and with Daughter of the Jungle being directed by Umberto Lenzi of Cannibal Ferox fame I figured it might be worth a blind buy.How wrong I was.While the film does serve up a tribe of primitive savages in a jungle setting, graphic gut munching is most definitely off the menu; what we get instead is lots of truly awful comedy and some cheap titillation courtesy of blonde babe Sabrina Siani, who plays a female version of Tarzan called Susan.This jungle hottie is discovered swinging through the trees by a pair of American chumps, Ringo (Rodolfo Bigotti) and Butch (Renato Miracco), who have become lost in the jungle, encountered and befriended a local tribe, and have subsequently found themselves in hot water with a ruthless gang of criminals (led by Sal Borghese) searching for rubies. With a little help from their new primitive pals, the pair of doofuses take on the bad guys.The film's excruciatingly unfunny slapstick and constant supposedly amusing bickering between the two friends make this film a real struggle to sit though, and even the sight of Siani in (and out of) her tiny jungle costume isn't enough to compensate.1.5/10, round up to 2 for the smoking chimp.

Normally when you get an Umberto Lenzi film set in the jungle; there's blood and people getting eaten, but with Daughter of the Jungle he actually tried to make a comedy film! Naturally I went into this expecting the worst, but surprisingly it's a decently entertaining film. If I had to compare it to something else along the same lines, I'd probably use Massacre in Dinosaur Valley; although this film is nowhere near as good as the later trash classic. Anyway, we focus on two American men who find themselves in the jungle. They're kidnapped by a bunch of cannibals but think they've been saved when they see an American plane. However, it turns out that the plane is full of mercenaries looking for rubies; so the Americans flee into the jungle where they find a beautiful girl who brought up by monkeys. This film is obviously very cheap and clearly Lenzi was in 'can't be bothered mode', and it's hard to believe that this film was made by the man behind the likes of Almost Human and Seven Blood-Stained Orchids. The use of stock footage is abundant too and the plot is unbelievably stupid. The film was obviously intended to be funny; although the jokes continually miss the mark and the only funny thing about it is the dubbing; which is among the worst I've ever heard. The voices are frankly ridiculous and that saps up any chance that the film may have had to gain any credibility. Still...it does at least make for amusing viewing and the film is at least not as bad as I thought it would be.
