IndustriousAngel This movie is much better than the low IMDb rating seems to indicate - of course, it's a B movie, but it's proud of it, and the production values are extremely high - better than in many A movies. The location shooting must have been a horror, but it pays off big time - scenery, sets, props are all excellent, and the animal scenes are outstanding. The acting is not that good, especially Ted Wass as the male lead can't give much life to his role. Tanya Roberts is not a great actress either, but she has real screen presence and so Sheena's scenes don't feel awkward for the most part. The story is straightforward (a bit like Avatar, but simpler) and moves along at a nice pace, the villains have it coming and get it, the heroes get together and they even managed a not-so-silly ending! If there's something not to like here (apart from the weak acting), it's the music - the synthesizer soundtrack manages to feel incongruous in every single scene. But overall, I can heartily recommend "Sheena" to everyone not put off by a B-movie plot.

daneldorado In the early 20th century, Audrey Munson made her movie debut in Thanhouser's "Inspiration" (1915), essentially playing herself: an artist's model. A year later, she appeared in another film, "Purity" (1916). What is remarkable about these films is that in both, Miss Munson appears in the nude. This is in the nineteen-teens, remember. There were censorship boards then, run by the states rather than the film industry... and of course they always sought to keep the movie screens free of smut.And yet, both "Inspiration" and "Purity" were approved for public exhibition... because the nudity in them was artistic and non-erotic. I don't know if that standard has ever been applied, to any other film; or rather, I didn't know, until I chanced across "Sheena" (1984).Browsing through the channels one evening, I found this film, starring Tanya Roberts as Sheena, Queen of the Jungle. "I'll give it a chance," I figured. So my wife and I watched as Ms. Roberts, clad only in a leather bikini-like garment, went about her adventures in the jungles of darkest Africa.Then, out of nowhere, there's a scene where she stops by a lake to bathe. I figured she would just jump in, since she's already wearing practically nothing anyway, right? Wrong!Before we knew what was happening, Tanya Roberts slipped out of her garment and entered the lake nude, in all God's glory. I mean it when I say I didn't see it coming. Most of the time when you see nudity on the screen, you kinda know it's coming, but this was a real surprise.I checked the program guide for the MPAA rating. Gotta be an R, right? Wrong again! Sheena was given a PG rating -- not a PG-13, not an R, not an NC-17. It's a PG, meaning any youngster, of any age, can see the movie without an adult. And, come to think of it, the "Parental Guidance" suggested by PG is probably because of some battle scenes in the movie.Thinking back, I wonder: Is this the first time since the two Audrey Munson films in 1915 and 1916, that on-screen adult nudity has been allowed, with no restrictions whatsoever?I'm not a big fan of nude scenes, and I don't seek them out. But this one, in Sheena, has to be the most innocent one I've ever seen.Dan Navarro ([email protected])

frtyener I have seen this movie 25 years later on DVD.I am really astonished when I saw 4.3 user rating on top of the page. I am sure this movie deserves much more than that. It would worth more than 4.3 points even if there were no animals . I give 10 points mainly because of the animals .I must say that this is film about kind of a lady jungle hero.I would recommend this film to children if there were no savage scenes such as shooting,bombing and killing both innocent people and animals.Sheena (Tanya Roberts) is a sexy young girl who brought up by native Africans, has special kinetic powers and can communicate with animals.First of all it is not a boring movie.Landscape is amazing. As for the animals, they are incredible. Director John Guillermin did a superb job in this film with these animals.I will not go into detail about the film but recommend you to buy or rent DVD and watch this movie.

powergrinding This movie is a classic Tanya Roberts , I feel she was so natural in the role instead of fake acting, she is also very magnetic in all her attractions.Shenna is truly the Queen of the jungle , also the villains are superb in there ability to make you hate them for there dirty deeds. Also some comedy relief in some scenes, the best scene of course , is Tanya bathing ala natural , which shows her real outside beauty , no way around this , she is gorgeous and thats that. The actual jungle scenery is great , and her animal magnetism was done well, and her re pore with the animals was great as was the rest of the cast. This should have been rated better, possibly more jealous women voting, Tanya is just drop dead gorgeous.
