Fantastic!

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

"Brutes and Savages" its probably one of the weirdest mondo films out there, most of its content is fake (like most mondo films), but the real moments are quite entertaining.The worst part about this movie its probably the infamous "alligator scene", that manages to get an unintentional laugh out of the viewer, actually, most of the "African" scenes are quite funny and cheesy, the south American scenes are a bit boring and dull, except for the crocodile scenes, those are pretty riveting to watch, other than that, the film feels like a common mondo film.I would recommend it for those who look for a laughable mondo film, just beware, there is animal cruelty in this film, it didn't bothered me, but some viewers may find it uneasy to watch.

Arthur Davis, whoever the bloody hell he is, allegedly on safari, (wearing a faded pink safari suit does not mean one is on a real safari) shows us all sorts of alleged tribal rituals in Sudan, and South America.Boring mockumentary likely filmed in the Hollywood Hills, rather than Sudan, except for parts of the crocodile attack, which were obviously filmed in someone's swimming pool, using a plastic croc head on hinges to open and close its jaws, while the guy it is supposedly eating makes monkey noises while getting his arm bitten off!That bit was amusing in its ineptitude, the tribes people slathering paint on each other's faces, and asses, while some wear bright yellow polka dot pants and speaking perfect English, despite the fact that native Sudanese speak Arabic, was just stupid, and what the hell was the purpose of the disco music on the soundtrack? Upbeat 16th notes on hi-hats, and wah wah guitars don't go well with two tribesmen going at each other with knives.For those unintentionally amusing moments, the real(?) animal death, and real brain surgery footage was unwatchable, and ruined any "so bad it's good" vibe the film had.I'll generously give this 4/ 10, for unintended laughs during the aforementioned swimming pool attack bit, but a 1/ 10 for the remainder of it.

Check the credits people,it SAID it was fake. OK it was sneaky about it. (Like "Faces of Death.") But have a heart.Too bad it wasn't that good.The uniform was a trip. I wondered whose relative with fashion designer fantasies conned him into wearing that.The trip itself? It looked like a Nat'l Geographic documentary with gore padding. Bestiality shots don't really get people excited. At least I hope not. And the croc attack looked like the one in FOD part 1. In fact, it didn't even look THAT good.I give it 4 stars for the good cinematography and the hidden honesty, other than that, it's for completests only.

Probably the lamest "mondo" travelogue ever made, "Brutes and Savages" is a laughable and cynical attempt at a documentary. "Explorer" Davis (dressed in an amazing salmon-colored safari outfit) heads to "Africa" (or its nearest North American equivalent) to film a Sudanese tribe. Where this tribe obtains it's endless supply of grease-based face paint isn't explained. The visit culminates in the simply jaw-dropping "croc attack" on a tribesman undergoing a manhood initiation. Replete with obvious and laughable continuity errors and rubber animals/body parts, you won't believe your eyes when you see it. The South American parts are rather dull, save the animal butchery (I had a hard time with the turtle slaughter). Smiling and laughing slum dwellers are called sullen and withdrawn who are wearing colorful clothes to show off for the cameras. I nodded off a couple of times, but the photography is nice, and the whole thing ends with llamas mating and simulated bestiality. "Killing For Culture" summed this one up nicely: pitiful.
