Directed by Umberto Lenzi in 1982 (not found on Spout!)
Umberto Lenzi is obviously having fun with this light hearted jungle adventure that spoofs his own earlier cannibal films. When Ringo and Butch head off into the Amazon for some sight seeing, they get more than they bargained for! Mistaken for emerald thieves and chased deep down river into the dark regions of the jungle, there they are captured by cannibals, taken in (they have a magical lighter!) and ritualized into having sex with an old toothless female native! When they refuse, they are set up as the village's next meal. The real thieves soon catch up and force most of the village to start mining the river for jewels. Ringo and Butch want to go home, but not before meeting the beautiful Sabrini Siani (in small loincloths, when she's wearing them!) and her pet monkey. All together, they must train the survivors to fight against guns, free the rest of the natives, get rid of the bad guys and fall for Sabrini or never get home safe and sound. Special Effects by Gino De Rossi and the best effect of all in this fun South American romp is Siani taking off her loincloth as many times as possible.
