Trivia:
'Sam J. Jones'' bare-chested torture, in which he's spreadeagled beneath a cluster of dangling, about-to-drop spears, may have been inspired by a similar ordeal inflicted on Mark Forest in the 1963 movie, Maciste, l'eroe più grande del mondo (1963). more
Quotes:
Jane: [admiring Jungle Jack's knife] Oooh! That is a big one.
Jungle Jack: You ain't seen nothin' yet, baby.

Whoever made this nonsense completely missed the point. Jane is a silly comic strip to titillate without being sleazy.

This giant mess tries to be funny and exciting but is just a shambles. There is not one decent performance in it..even the usually reliable Jasper Carrott is painfully unfunny.

The American bloke whose name escapes me is just as rubbiush as he was in flash gordon.

Maud Adams tries as a villianess but she is a bit long in the tooth for this type of thing. All of these things would not matter if the girl was sexy or funny or likable.She is not. Kirsten Holmes faded into obscurity after this and so much the better.

I've flushed more entertaining things than this down the toilet. Avoid
