CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

jaydee_007-2 I'm being generous giving it one star.Essentially, I've concluded that this was actually a Porn film with all of the Porn removed. It has to be. That can be the only explanation for the Put-On Performances, and the Shoddy Camera work as well as Choreography.The story has all of the contrivances of a bad porn film, that is certain. Along with the clear mismatch in ages for Father/Daughter relationships. (No, there are no subplots regarding that relationship, but it just doesn't work when you see it on camera.)Not even MST3K could make this watchable!

samhill5215 This is a movie conceived and produced by juveniles for juveniles but is it ever funny. The kind of funny that kept me wondering whether everything about it, and I mean EVERYTHING, wasn't meant to be that cheesy. There's really no point in commenting on the dialogue (moronic) or acting (what acting?). I guess the scenery was OK if not for the fact we kept seeing the same scenes ad nauseam. I should say something about the characters though. The premise of the film is that there's two tribes, one of pretty women and beastly men and another of handsome men and ugly women. I guess the women were pretty enough and they were quite shapely. As for the men they all hailed from muscle beach. This was a beefcake fest with the beastly men differentiated from the handsome men primarily by the fact they were hairy. The handsome guys were shaved clean and oiled to boot. These fellas were ready for the Mr. Universe contest. So the bottom line is: could you spend an hour and 11 minutes doing something better? Absolutely, positively without a doubt. But if you do chose to see it you'll find yourself chuckling uncontrollably and that's not such a bad thing, is it?

unbrokenmetal This 1950s bad movie classic takes us to Wongo, a tropical place (shot in Florida) where the women of Wongo have trouble with their men. When a very, very handsome stranger tells them about a place called Goona only a few miles away, where very, very handsome men are looking for beautiful companions, they are quick to consider their options...I think the scene when the daughter of the king pretends to be engaged in a "life-or-death struggle" with a small rubber crocodile must have been worth the admission fee alone, although the talking parrot made me cringe every time... must be on screen every 5 minutes at least. The "leopard skin" jungle outfits of the 1950s are naturally nowhere near what Tanya Roberts was allowed to almost wear in the 1980s, so I wonder how hot "Women of Wongo" really seemed in the 1950s? As far as the male models (the word "actor" would be out of place) are concerned, one of them actually rose to stardom afterwards: Ed Fury became Ursus in the Italian cinema series.

Punchinello Jungle women exploitation, if you can call it that, with a sandy beach full of lovely girls in tailored animal skin dresses (over bikini bottoms, no less) struggling to avoid the dreadful fate of marrying the brutish men of their own tribe. The acting is awful, with primitive dialog and awkward pauses that don't help. They're pretty much all equally stiff, men and women alike, with 1950s hairstyles and a comical mix of accents. The director doesn't do them any favors, cutting in awkward reaction shots and inserts that don't match.The women--tho pretty--don't get wild for the first half hour, and even then it's only 1958 wild, which is to say tame enough for afternoon TV. Once their own men disappear, the ladies do a little dancing, a little swimming, fight off a couple of ape men, have a quick catfight, and go off to rustle the beefcake of the Goona tribe. Despite the refreshing protofeminism motif, the Scooby Doo plotting is painful. But the film is shot in color--partly on beautiful beaches and partly at the strange Coral Castle--so it looks pretty good, depending on the print you happen to see.As film-making, it's strictly hack work. As exploitation, it's less titillating than a stroll on the beach--even back in '58.
