    Epitome of Africa

    I saw this film on television and fascinated by the beauty of Jennifer Mccomb. It was a neat film and you can watch it for the beauty of Africa and of course Mccomb. At that time I was thrilled watching this movie and from then onwards I am trying for VCD of this film but I am unable to find it. Huge African lions makes appearance int his film and we will be spell bounded simply by the size of those animals and grace of them. All section of audience can watch this movie particularly children will enjoy this film. But some scenes involving Mccomb forces parental guidance for this film. It is a enjoyable holiday movie for one and all.

    A nice little film

    Despite the score it has I rather liked his film. Fantastic atmosfere with colourful animals. Although the plot is a little weak, the acting is OK. Sometimes its a little far fetched, but I still liked it.

    My rating: About a 8.

    I really enjoyed this film.

    Wonderful movie

    I had seen this movie when it got released, and when I was 12 years old :) And I still vividly recollect the wonderful scenes of how the hero/heroine escape every time when faced with danger :) And the best feature of the movie was the portrayal of the villain! I think many so-called action movies copied a lot many "escape scenes" from this movie!! And not only does it never impress me when I see such copying, it always increases my appreciation for this masterpiece! :) The lead actors have acted wonderfully. The slow and realistic development of the chemistry b/w the hero and heroine was extremely natural and wonderfully portrayed. As children, we felt that the love that developed b/w them was very natural :) The way they face and overcome all their trials and tribulations together was something that can make even kids realize the value of true love, sacrifice and caring. I recommend that every person see this movie when given a chance!! --Vijay.

    A good adventure about life and death in Africa's hard nature

    A boy and a girl is chased by a local warrior because the boy killed (by accident) the warriors father (or whoever he was). And they travel through the nature of Africa's most ruff areas.

    The acting in this movie isn't that good (except for that elephant kid). But it's a very good adventure and it's not very censored, there is some blood, flesh and nudity (which lighten up the movie a bit).

    I give this movie a 7 because of it's picture of the African nature and it's action.

    Beautiful !

    Worth seeing for beautiful landscapes and animal life, and most of all for delightful Jennifer McComb ! Sure, the scenario is thin, the story next to inexistent, the acting naive, but beautiful scenery and Jennifer McComb as the epitome of feminity in Edenic African paradise are pure delight.
