BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

kapelusznik18 ***SPOILERS*** White, aren't they all, big game hunter Tom Bruton,Don Harvey, is on a mission or job to track down and find the grandson of a multi millionaire back in the states-USA-who's been missing in the African jungles since his parents were killed by an attack by local natives headhunter some 15 years ago. As it turns out the missing boy now a teenager turns out to be this Polynesian looking and sporting what looks like an Elvis Presley hairstyle, some five years before the world ever herd of Elivs,the vine swinging jungle boy Tawa played by a youthful and undernourished looking 32 year old Robert Cabal: Who was to star in 115 episodes in the TV "Rawhide" series as cowboy Hay Soos. It's Tawa's existence that's being kept secret by old man Trader Kirk, Forrest Taylor, who feels that civilization will corrupt his clean, of pollution and food additives, and peaceful life that the jungle provides for him. It's when Burton finally tracks down Tawa he also brings along a 450 pound Bengal Tiger that he captured back in India and is planning to give to a zoo in the US as a gift. The mistake that Burton made is leaving the killer tiger in a flimsy bamboo cage unattended that has the lovable as well as mischievous chimp Tamba, played by Tamba himself, release into the wild who in return causes havoc all around his jungle neighborhood. We soon get to see reels of stock footage of the escaped tiger in action attacking and killing most of the local wildlife-panthers wild buffalo gorillas and pythons- until the killer cat is confronted by his former captor big game hunter, who's recovering from a serious bout of jungle fever, Tom Burton.***SPOILERS*** With Burton's high powered rifle seeming to have no effect on the tiger at all it's now Burton not the big cat that is about to face extinction. That's until 98 pound weakling looking Tawa, who seemed to have pumped himself up by eating a diet of bananas and mango's, swings into action and with his what looks like boys scout knife puts the 450 pound of ferocious and murderous striped terror away! It's later that Tom Burton find out the reason that Trader Kirk was so protective of jungle boy Tawa and it really had nothing at all to do from keeping him free of what civilization can do in getting him by having Tawa live on junk food as well as fluoridated water. He's in fact Trader Kirk's grandson and has every right to have him live with him even more then his grandfather, who never met him, back in the states since he brought him up since infancy!

MARIO GAUCI I'd never heard of this one when I came upon it at my local DVD rental outlet via the cheap Alpha edition; since I wasn't even familiar with any of the personnel involved, I didn't have much confidence in the film being any good – but still told myself I'd get to watch the thing someday based solely on its intriguing title and lurid poster (a gorilla carrying a scantily-clad woman)! However, I was laughing myself silly all the way through it – starting from the very opening shot, given the incredibly obvious studio-bound look of the jungle! The film was clearly a very cheap production and one that was poorly scripted and made into the bargain: not only is it padded with relentless stock footage (most of which is irrelevant to begin with, especially the would-be comic antics of a trio of monkeys) but it's truly bottom-of-the-barrel fare on a par with the Ed Wood films, though hardly as zanily inspired. Suffice to say that it makes the classic (but often juvenile and clichéd) black-and-white Tarzan films look like works of art in comparison! Anyway, the narrative involves a search for a mysterious jungle boy (sounds familiar?) by a rugged hunter: amusingly, he's seen countless times wiping his brow from the heat and fatigue while trekking through the jungle – even if it's the natives who do all the hard work…including carrying a caged tiger he brought over from India! Of course, some rich man from the civilized world is claiming kinship with the boy – but, as it transpires, the hunter-turned-missionary who raised him all these years is also a relation. The hunter is bewildered by what he sees – cue recurring daft monologues about how he's only in it for the money (an attitude which, needless to say, has changed by the end of the film…especially after the jungle boy has saved his life and he's had his health restored by a young girl, one of the natives at the mission!).The last third of the 66-minute running-time, then, is taken up by scenes in which, let loose by the mischievous monkeys, the tiger is seen almost battling – so ludicrous is the blending of stock footage and pitiful 'special effects' – (yet winning, every single bout and in no time at all!) an assortment of jungle creatures i.e. panther, wildebeest, gorilla and python. The film should perhaps truly rate a BOMB – but I hadn't watched a vintage 'amateur hour' piece such as this in a dog's age that I managed to have a modicum of fun at it regardless

moycon Tom Burton is a slightly paunchy, often sweaty, baby faced "world's greatest animal hunter" who goes off to a closed stage dressed to look some what like a jungle and inhabited by circus animals and stock footage is searching for a very scrawny, greasy haired ,long lost jungle boy rumored to have been raised by the beasts of the jungle so he can collect his massive reward!! After all, as Tom always says, money is the most important thing in his life. Watch this movie to find out if it in fact is! I gave this flick 6 growls out of 10. It's definitely not the best of it's type but good for a few laughs at least.
