Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

sandcrab277 Its too bad this script relies on bo svenson to carry the day and donald pleasance is his usual goofy self...naked amazon women please to save us all from dead brain disease...it took me 5 hours watching time with pauses to get to the meat...and then there was none...click, its gone done and over

BA_Harrison Wannabe explorer Luis Escobar (Richard Romanus) joins adventurer Tom Jensen (Bo Svenson) on a trip to South America in search of the fabled seven cities of El Dorado, a journey that leads to encounters with a tribe of Amazonian women and savage headhunters. Also searching for the legendary golden cities is wicked drug baron Clarence Blasko (Donald Pleasance), who will do anything to claim his prize.If this film had been made by Umberto Lenzi, Jess Franco or Sergio Martino, it would have been chock full of the nudity and violence that guaranteed such films notoriety during the video era. Unfortunately, this isn't a trashy Euro flick, but rather a cheesy US made-for-TV movie, and as such only offers tepid thrills for fans of the jungle adventure genre. Director Mark L. Lester is capable of turning out an entertaining film when given the chance (Class of 1984, Commando and Showdown in Little Tokyo), but constrained by the limitations of a TV budget and broadcasting regulations, he is unable to deliver the goods, his film a lacklustre romp that wastes a fairly decent cast, which also includes Anita Ekberg (Fellini's La Dolce Vita) as Amazonian queen Na-Eela.Silliest moments include a rubber snake leaping out of Tom's suitcase, a supposedly funny scene in which a chief offers his fat wife to the adventurer, and Tom and Luis being kept in man-cage and forced to have sex with the Amazonians in true 'Carry On Up The Jungle' style.

Leofwine_draca GOLD OF THE AMAZON WOMEN is one of the earlier films in the career of director Mark L. Lester, whose pinnacle still remains COMMANDO. As a film, this is far below that, and astonishingly tame given the subject matter's ripeness for exploitation. A slumming-it Bo Svenson plays an explorer in New York who embarks on a trip to South America to hunt for El Dorado. Instead, he finds himself captured by a tribe of highly unrealistic Amazon women led by a middle-aged Anita Ekberg, who is better than you'd expect. The waters are muddied by the entrance of Donald Pleasence's ridiculously unimposing villain of the hour, Blasko, who is singularly irrelevant as it turns out. Expect a lot of blonde actresses in leather bikinis running around with bows and arrows but very little else in terms of plot. There's no gore, little action, no nudity, nothing that would make this stand out as even a minor entertaining B-flick.

Joel-12 I was looking at the 100 worst movie list and did not see this listed until I realized that it was a "made for TV movie".I assume that it, therefore, does not qualify it for the dubious distinction of being listed for one of the all time worst.However, when I arrived at the site that described the cast etc. I was surprised to find that it had a 4.1/10 rating.I assume that the rating was acquired by virtue of how campy, ridiculous the film was.thanx for letting me toss a few comments around on this flick.
