"Forty square miles of agonising death!",
By
This review is from: Naked Jungle, The [DVD] (DVD)
The Naked Jungle’s reputation rests on its last couple of reels, when plantation owner Charlton Heston battles the Marabunta, the twenty-mile long, two-mile wide army of billions of soldier ants (“forty square miles of agonizing death!”) heading straight for the empire he carved out of the jungle with his bare hands. Well, his and the local natives bare hands. Of course, you have to get through an hour of soap opera first as the arrogant and virginal Chuck (“They have a word for men who go to the native villages at night. No one ever used that word about me”) is more than a tad miffed to discover that after shipping new furniture and a new piano out to the jungle that he’s been sent a second-hand mail-order bride in Eleanor Parker, despite her admonitions that “If you knew anything about music, you’d know that a good piano always sounds better if it’s been played!” But then you have to expect that sort of thing when you marry by proxy (we learn that William Conrad, who played the Heston role in the earlier radio version of the original story, stood in for Parker!). Still, at least Ranald Macdougal and blacklisted Ben Maddow have fun with the script with exchanges like “I’ve been trying not to irritate you.” “I noticed that. I find it irritating.” It would have been good to have less of the matrimonials and more of the Marabunta, but the picture is great fun for both the right and wrong reasons and I can’t say I felt short-changed revisiting it.No extras at all, but the fullframe transfer is very good.

Cheggers beggars belief,
By A Customer
This review is from: Naked Jungle [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Keith Chegwin moves from his natural home as a little child's tv presentar to a more upmarket, upbeat, aldut show. The results, predictabley, are hilarious. This vid is a must for all fans of both Keith & nudity (and a double bonus bonaza for fans of nude Keiths). The media feeding frzenzy that followed the original broadcast was all out of proportion & over the top & plain ridicucluos. This was a quality program & people just failed to see the funny side which I just cant believe because it was hilarious & a great celebration of the human body in its natural, unadraoned state. So get off Keith's back, sit down, relax & enjoy the mayhem!!! This is a vid that rewards repeetd viewing as there are many subtle aspects to the show that you might miss if you only seen it once time.

oldie and goodie,
By marnei "neil" (New Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Naked Jungle (DVD)
This must have been one of Charlton Heston's first films as he is very young and arrogant. Quite well acted and the special effects are not bad considering when it was made. The story is typical Hollywood but quite an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.
