I seem to have a ability to find and watch some interesting stuff!! This is no exception, plastic, cardboard and glue were probably in short supply after this was made. Recycling and waste collection services must have been empty judging by the amount of bottles, straws and cups that were used to make set props. The script is full of strange acronyms, words and made up stuff. So much in fact that producers and writers of many police shows have coppied the idea. Many of us have watched such shows. Having watched numerous sci-fi B movies I suppose I am not shocked at how dreadful it really is. You should, if you get chance, watch it, it's a good laugh. All in all, another way to pass a rainy Saturday afternoon with a piece of viewing history.

Well, I will start with just why I give four stars. There are scenes with various wild animals in, trees and ?? That's as far as I can go. Now the movie, pretty bad really, over zealous acting and a class stereo typing (for its period) of tribal communities. Today it would (I believe wrongly) be called racist and a example of colonial control. I on the other hand feel it represents a part of movie history long consigned to the learning bin. It is however, another example of serious (for its period) sexism, not totally aimed, I feel, just at the female actors. Strange singing, dubious costumes and even worse, tan lines that are so bad even in black and white they are fully visible. To conclude, I recommend that if you are lost for something to do on a wet day, stick it out to the end.
