Overrated and overhyped

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

A group of college student anthropologists and a rival team of no-count treasure hunters run afoul of a lethal tribe of primitive cannibals led by an evil witch doctor while checking out a dangerous jungle on a remote island. It's up to feisty'n'fetching Tarzanesque jungle babe Jelita (ravishing brunette fox Lydia Kandou) to keep everyone alive. Man, does this delightfully batty and berserk jaw-dropper possess all the right wonderfully ridiculous stuff to qualify as a real four star serving of deliciously cheesy schlock: we've got energetic direction by Danu Umbara, a constant brisk pace, hokey mild gore, a funky, thumping, syncopated score by Gatot Sudarto, plenty of outrageously wild and violent over-the-top fight scenes, laughably lousy dubbing, broadly drawn characters, vibrant, colorful cinematography by Bambang Trimakno, a protracted car chase, inept overuse of strenuous slow motion, a hilarious tribe of grunting ape-like untamed savages, and tacky (far from) special effects. Alas, the obligatory smidgen of gratuitous female nudity is optically fogged, but thankfully we still have a gaggle of good-looking gals running amok in skimpy fur two piece bikini outfits. Overall, this film possesses an infectiously kitschy charm that's impossible to either resist or dislike. A total gut-busting riot.

Indonesian (?) jungle film about a hidden tribe on a hidden island that revolts against a god sent leader. Of course a film crew shows up to film them and the "leader: and her band of warriors have to come to their rescue or some such nonsense.Its bad and awful and not in a good way. I lost patience very fast and while I think I might try it again I don't think anyone else should. The performances are poor (I wouldn't blame the dubbing), the action isn't very good and there are simply too many WTF moments for any sane mind to take in. I like bad movies but this is almost too much to endure, even if you make fun of it as it goes on.

This movie simply ROCKS. Its so funny to read reviews from people actually expecting a "good" movie from directors and actors like in this movie. This movie is absolutely TERRIBLE, and that is exactly why it is soooo good! From cheesy 1980s electro music, cheap laser and fire effects, ridiculous plot and costumes, beautiful chick, etc... This movie has it all. Indonesian films are also always about Indonesian folklore, just as this one is. You have to look past the atrocious acting and plot to see it for what it is: Brainless, hilarious fun and an Indonesian history lesson all in one.. Highly recommended to anyone that can appreciate bad cinema..

I obtained this piece of garbage on the VideoAsia "Tales of Voodoo" DVD label. Quite where the voodoo is supposed to fit in, I have no idea. Indeed I would not usually connect voodoo with Indonesia anyway.From the description given to it on the cover, this looked like it could be a wonderful piece of little known exploitation from South East Asia.It isn't. Abused women rush off into the jungle to oppose their oppressors, but frankly I would rather they had stayed home. No gore, a little formulaic violence and no nudity (well I think there might have been a hint in one scene, but it was optically fogged).There is nothing to recommend this movie. Period.As my gym teacher used to say- on the whole, I'd rather be at the disco....
