This movie is as old as I am. However I saw it first when I was 10 in a local cinema. What I remember just a figure of a naked female Tarzan, accompanied by monkeys and tigers. Her name was Gungala.
After seeking for about a year, at last i found it in VHS, together with another tittle "Gungala, la Pantera Nuda" directed by Rugero Deodato (a.k.a Roger Rockefeller). While Pantera Nuda is romantic, this "Gungala, Virgin of the jungle" to me more adventurous. Perhaps also that's why the "Pantera nuda"'s theme song is romantic (there's a soundtrack), while virgin of the jungle's not.
The story tell us about two smugglers steal a diamond from a wood statue which was worshiped by tribesmen. Years later, an expedition - an expert and a woman - was sent to look for radioactive thing. Their guide was Wulf, an fat white guy and Tao, a drunken tribesman. When finding the statue, they're stalk by Gungala, a wild jungle girl who lived with some big cats and monkeys. When Wulf urge to shot Gungala to have the blue her diamond necklace, the other aware of his real motivation. Gungala, on the other hand seems interested when she saw the group member making love. She tried to attract the man, but can not speak. so, she just growl, and make them after her. When she played, Wulf shot her and take the diamond. But Gungala was a jungle queen that easily cried for her panthers and lions to grab Wulf.
The plot is simple. As simple as what Gungala wear. Kitty Swan, as Gungala just wore like tearing cloth just to cover her front and back. We can see her totally naked from her side. This movie was the first Gungala, where Kitty looked more mature than in Gungala la pantera Nuda. Her face, dressing, and action was wilder. she was not as sweet as the next Gungala, though Kitty was still an eye candy. I didn't see any improvement of her acting between these two Gungalas. Just so so as a non-conversation cast, or frankly I can say not good enough. To those who enjoy naked Kitty, you will pick this than the Pantera Nuda.
For the sake of childhood memory, I still give 5 for rating.
