I love this movie so much

I'll tell you why so serious

Humbersi

The first must-see film of the year.

Bluebell Alcock

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Outrageous camp factor, and every bit as weird and mindless as you've heard. "Oh, Priestess, we request permission to find mates!" The narrator explains: "Nature made a mistake." Two independent tribes that mistrust but leave each other alone finally interact, as an alliance to fight some other weird tribe is proposed, then rejected. A parrot is perched somewhere, and periodically shows up to mock the characters, as if we the audience aren't doing that already.Basically, some prehistoric guys and gals from each tribe run around the forest and occasionally meet each other. There's one girl (from the "pretty woman" tribe) who beats the snot out of a baby crocodile, and the monster people show up briefly. Her tribe has women with 50's hair styles, shaved legs, lipstick, and other make-up. The other tribe has women with buck teeth and attitudes that scare their sheepish men.Beware of the soundtrack. They actually use some of the same music as the infamous "Plan 9 from Outer Space," and this movie makes that one look good by comparison. The acting is oafery, the director must have been out in the sun too long, and the story line is uhh, was there one? There's only one way to watch this: MST3K style. Get your buddies together and mock the thing, when it isn't bashing itself that is.

This is a movie conceived and produced by juveniles for juveniles but is it ever funny. The kind of funny that kept me wondering whether everything about it, and I mean EVERYTHING, wasn't meant to be that cheesy. There's really no point in commenting on the dialogue (moronic) or acting (what acting?). I guess the scenery was OK if not for the fact we kept seeing the same scenes ad nauseam. I should say something about the characters though. The premise of the film is that there's two tribes, one of pretty women and beastly men and another of handsome men and ugly women. I guess the women were pretty enough and they were quite shapely. As for the men they all hailed from muscle beach. This was a beefcake fest with the beastly men differentiated from the handsome men primarily by the fact they were hairy. The handsome guys were shaved clean and oiled to boot. These fellas were ready for the Mr. Universe contest. So the bottom line is: could you spend an hour and 11 minutes doing something better? Absolutely, positively without a doubt. But if you do chose to see it you'll find yourself chuckling uncontrollably and that's not such a bad thing, is it?

A disembodied Mother Nature narrates a story 10,000 years in the making. The events of the great "Wongo"-"Goona"-"Monkey Men from the Sea" conflict are recounted. The manipulative Mother Nature has placed all the prettiest women with the Wongo tribe and the good looking men in the rival & nearby Goona tribe. The men of Wongo & women of Goona are suppose to be fugly. The Monkey Man threat is severely over-hyped, as is their involvement in the film.The conflict arises when the son of the king of Goona arrives by canoe, waving the white-wing of peace, to warn Wongo of the arrival of the Monkey Men from the sea. The Wongo men, obviously jealous of his good looks, devise a plan to kill him. The Wongo women, lusting over the pretty man, decide to step in. The origins of humanity start are becoming clearer, but it just needs a few more ingredients.Add a "Dragon God" (a.k.a. crocodile/alligator), the god's temple complete with one crazy priestess, some modern dance, leopard print & leather slips, lots of hair spray, blue hair, empty scenes of the "jungle", at least 12 cut-aways to an annoying parrot, stock footage of crocodiles/alligators, scenes of wandering through the jungle, several repetitions of previous footage, a scene of a woman trying to drown a crocodile/alligator and page upon page of horrible "savage-man" dialog (i.e. "me go", "Wongo not friend to Goona", etc.). Anyone can film a movie like this. Just go to the Florida Everglades or Keys and hire some bodies from Gold's Gym, don't forget to cater it and remember the script will figure itself out. The pain is excruciating. This is definitely the kind of movie to watch at 1.5x and not by oneself. Bring many friends and several bottles of bourbon.-Celluloid Rehab

OKAY! Let me explain why I rated this movie a 10.My family and I watched this movie, knowing WELL that it would be crap. So, for what we wanted, it was spectacular. We were able to make fun of the actors/actresses, and the plot (wait, what plot?) was as stupid as we'd hoped.If I rated this seriously, I'd give it a -1. It's not even deserving of a ZERO--that's how bad it was.The "Ape Tribe" they spoke of, was comprised of two men with Wolverine hair cuts, who died by the "Dragon God" (who was a crocodile, or alligator, whichever--either way, if Steve Erwin were alive, he ought to shout "CRIKEY!") and that was the end of them. Seriously. No other "ape men" were seen.My ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE part of the entire movie, was when they were "banished" from Wongo-- I mean, the inhabited half of Wongo, and sent to some strange Priestess, or some jazz like that-- and they were forced to do a crazy "dance." Seriously, there were about four women who were about to break their necks for the dance, and the rest remained completely uninterested, and barely moved. It was like they were imitating an old fart on the dance floor--except, with less enthusiasm.So, the movie was GREAT if you'd like to laugh, make fun of the people, and basically just make wise cracks about it, but if you were ACTUALLY looking for entertainment through the movie itself, boy, are YOU in for an unpleasant surprise.....
