paskuniag-584-890551 If you wish to see this epic, get the unrated, uncut version. This movie would merely be dopey in the sanitized version. Seeing the whole enchilada just enlarges the stupidity of this film, instead of making it gross. Ursula Undress- er- Andress- must have not flashed her pecs in a while, which is why she is in this movie. Stacy Keach must have needed the money. There is no other reason for them to be in this awful waste of celluloid.

Horror Banana-nanza Oh man. Why am I reviewing this movie?Susan and her brother head off to some jungle in New Guinea to look for her husband. We get the normal animal deaths, a boneheaded bunch of arguments, and a scene where Susan is smeared in paint while nude and declared a god. We get a penis lopped off, some gutting, and a smack in the forehead twist that will leave fans of these goofball movies wondering why they bothered.So why am I reviewing this? Well, it's a Video Nasty, for one. Although I'm not sure why. There's so little in this movie that without the labeling of it as such, no one would have ever watched it. There's a scene with a rubber lizard that made me laugh loudly, and paper mache crocodiles that make Ed Wood's movies seem high budget.Not to mention the bizzaro adventure sequences with members of the group being left behind to die, leading to arguments that aren't worth the viewer's time. Also, it turns out Susan is after Uranium, not her brother.Too bad the Puka (close to Puke) cannibals eat most of the group first. This movie isn't good for effects, story, or nastiness. It's just plain boring. And to make matters worse, a monkey gets eaten by a snake for the "good of entertainment."Puka indeed __________________For all the Horror Banana's reviews, visit http://morozov924.hubpages.com/

wbswetnam I just finished watching "Mountain of the Cannibal God", one of a 50 movie Mill Creek collection of "Drive-In Movie Classics". This version is titled "Slave of the Cannibal God", oddly enough - maybe because it is the 82 minute R version and not the original version. The movie is about a rich beautiful woman (Ursula Andress) who goes to the remote jungles of Papua New Guinea, where her husband disappeared while prospecting for uranium. She is accompanied by a professor (Stacy Keach) and her slimeball brother. A good bit of time is spent hacking their way through dense forest on some jungle island off of Papua New Guinea in search of the supposedly lost Puka tribe.The movie is mildly entertaining, it's sort of like watching a more cruel version of Wild Kingdom at times. The version I saw has most of the more disturbing animal cruelty parts cut out, and more disappointingly, the nude scene with Ursula Andress is cut out. As compensation though, a pretty native girl (played by Luigina Rocchi) appears in a scene where she lifts her top off and shows off her nice titties for several seconds.The Mill Creek version is poor quality, unfortunately. The colors are washed out badly, and there are several places where it is obvious that it is a dub from a VHS tape.

TheHrunting "The Mountain of the Cannibal God" is an action adventure film intertwined with intrigue, shock and candid looks at nature and those closet to it. This is far from other films that share the tag as this goes for realism rather than fantasy or heroism, is a party pooper when it comes to fun, and is steady with violence and gore to appease a depraved fan of horror compared to someone looking for a safe and easy ride in the jungle.This is going for a documentary feel with an intimate look at how beautiful and cruel the wild can be. A group of brave westerners with some natives are assembling a trek to this mysterious, remote mountain in New Guinea. When the urbanized natives steer clear and give warning even if it means saving someone, take heed. Though the party members are tightening their boots and stuffing their packs with purpose no matter the peril. But maybe that's because they have their own hidden motives to drive them forward or that cannibals are just things for the imaginative daydreamer. Just maybe.There's credible tension between the characters as they battle the terrain and encounter deadly animals, along with experiencing inquisitive peaks into odd customs and superstitions along the way. A big sensationalist draw here is there are non-simulated animal vs animal and man vs animal attacks. Its stark and unnecessary realism will be argued from here to the moon, but it ultimately creates an environment where no one is safe and it could be your turn at any moment, so best to keep a blade handy and one eye open when you sleep.Time is taken with "Cannibal God" to pace the story and build up surprises. The atmospheric and sometimes downright uncomfortable music leaves emotion on the screen like another appendage of the actors. This is structured so the audience feels the tension as much as the performers do in the moment it's occurring. It gives the film a sense of believability over other Mondo cinema that falls short of maintaining that the events taking place could actually happen. Compared to "Alligator" and "Island of the Fish Men," this is by far the best in the Sergio Martino, as I like to call it, "westerners-in-the-wild" trilogy starring the late Claudio Cassinelli due not only to a bigger budget but most importantly a more refined focus.
