"Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung fu film."

Weekend Poster Feast 8. "Filmed in BLAZING TROPICOLOR! A NEW Kind of Jungle Drama - Actually Filmed in Guatemala and Featuring Members of the Savage Vicuni Indian Tribe!" Perhaps they should have thrown in "Filmed in South America, Where Life is Cheap!" if the publicists had the wherewithal. I don't know much about this feature, except that Something Weird released it as part of a "Primitive Triple Feature" DVD (a review of the disc can be found at DVD Drive-In). The poster's striking enough, though, with its white man vs. "savage" knife duel and the heaving bosom of the bound "virgin" towering above them. And people wonder why they don't make "jungle dramas" anymore. Click on the image for a much larger version. (800 K)
