Demented jungle action. Not many agree but this is one of my Jess Franco favorites, really desperate low budget filmmaking at its funniest. This very rare tape is also a favorite. It's the longer Man Hunter-version, shorter than the Severin DVD though (but with better colors).

Jess Franco + Jules Verne = two of my favorites, together at last! That's probably why I like this film even though it's generally considered cheap and boring shit even by Franco fans. OK, i'll give you that it's cheap but otherwise I think Franco has a pretty good feeling for simple, boys own Jules Verne-adventure... So shoot me.
