Fun Stuff

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.

So bad it's good!, 14 March 2003
Author: Gareth Hacking from Manchester

I remember watching this year's ago on T.V. one quiet Sunday afternoon. This is one of those films that are so bad their good. I can't imagine why all involved thought this would be a good idea. It looks cheap and is terribly edited (there's a plane crash early on where you don't actually see crash). Every single performance is appalling though Jasper Carrot has to be singled out as worst offender (shouting your every line in a awful German accent just isn't acting). The whole thing is just so terrible you can't help but laugh at it, trying to guess what the next plot contrivance will be to allow Jane's clothes to be ripped off her yet again. I highly recommend this film and suggest you all try and watch it as soon as possible.
