The cinematography is quite good, only occasionally reminding the viewer he's wondered onto the Jess Franco territory via some blurry shots and slightly jerky pans. There's also a number of well-executed tracking shots - a rare treat from Tio Jess! The acting is suprisingly on a very decent level, too.
The stubbly Thomas Hunter sort of looks like a cross between James Franciscus and George Hilton and does a good job with his bland do-right protagonist.
So, the cast is quite good, technical credits are competent - why is this film so obscure then?
The script is really slow and full of jungle cliches: you get snakes, hostile natives, someone cutting through the bushes with an obligatory machete...
The film does drags on in a couple of places but pics up nicely towards the end with some semi-lively action.
Oh yeah...
Howard Vernon's moustache! It's as bad as the one Antonio Mayans was forced to wear in Sadomania.
The Oracle DVD has a pretty funny animated menu screen which fetures a more spectacular plane crash then the main feature!

The previous reviewer covered all bases so I'll keep it brief. As fare as Franco's body of work is concerned, it's him in 'reasonable' mode. (None of the agony that would accompany watching something like 'Female Vampire'.) Also, less boring than others. (Not a compliment, just an observation.) Also, it does feature cinema's cheapest plane crash. DVD would be a damn sight more boring without him. Can't wait to read Stephen Thrower's upcoming biography. What can one say? Non-fans should rent, whereas fans of Franco (I.E: The ones whom have to have everything he's ever done.) will buy regardless.

Only 30 Good Minutes
31 July 2004
Format:DVD
If you read the hype you might be fooled into thinking that this movie is something of a lost treasure from a groovier time. However, even being a plot-blind fan of B-cinema, this really is hopelessly lame. At least until the last 30 minutes that is. The movie is obviously seriously low budget, and the first hour has little by way of action or entertainment to reward the viewer. Once crashed on the ground, the group of survivors meander along with all the urgency of "picnic at hanging rock". The shoot out with diamond chasing villains has less action than a Sunday afternoon game of lawn bowls. Likewise, the encounter with savage natives could hardly be more boring. If you still haven't turned off by now, the last 30 minutes combine action, sleaze and betrayal into something that starts to resemble the movie they described on the back of the DVD cover. Overall, this movie doesn't live up to its hype and its also not worth watching just to laugh at how stupid it is. However the last 30 minutes are rewarding if you can stick it out that long. Bring some beers, bring your mates and buckle up for an hour of boredom.
