Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Theo Robertson A passenger aircraft crashes in to the Brazilian rainforest . The survivors realise they're many miles from civilisation and their only hope of rescue is if they trek out of the rainforest . They begin the trek only to find out the dangers facing them are many I came in to this film knowing it was going to be sleazy exploitation . What becomes clear while watching it is that it has a slightly better look and production value than you normally see in this type of movie . It also has a tongue in cheek sense of humour and you could see this being a mainstream Hollywood movie featuring Sylvester Stallone or Harrison Ford or even Tom Selleck leading a group of annoying characters out of a jungle . Having an archaeologist does mean you've got an Indiana Jones inspired movie This is an exploitation film with a mainstream feel . The difference is that there's little thought given to events that happen on screen being given much consequence later on in the movie . For example a female character is raped and yet the next day she shows little trauma at her ordeal . This type of sexual violence is typical of the exploitation genre and leads to dismissal from a mainstream audience . It's also a dumb movie featuring a lack of internal continuity where a minor character gets killed by a school of piranha but when the hero enters the water all the killer fish seem to have miraculously disappeared In short this is a dumb exploitation film that will have little appeal to anyone who doesn't like the genre . That said it has better production values than most of its peers and the gore is fairly restrained which gives the film a relatively mainstream feel

Rathko Even in the world of Italian cannibal exploitica, 'Massacre in Dinosaur Valley' is z-grade dross. If you are so inclined, you can enjoy a couple of strapping, greased-up muscleboys wrestling in a bar; live cockfighting; piranha attacks; occasional cannibalism; a weird tribal ritual involving grass skirts and Halloween 'spooky-hands'; and copious amounts of completely unnecessary female nudity, stripping, girl-on-girl action, and the usual titillating 'rape' scenes. The weird drunken Thai hooker lady-boy in the Frank-N-Furter costume who spends most of the movie swigging from a bottle and laughing hysterically at nothing at all is particularly noteworthy.Unfortunately, the whole thing isn't quite so bad as to give it that laugh-out loud quality of vintage Hershell Gordon Lewis. Nor does it have the irony or sheer balls of early John Waters. A curiosity, to be sure, and the whole thing tries terribly hard to shock, but ultimately succeeds in providing nothing more than soft-core titillation for only the most undiscerning of viewers.

Paul Andrews Nudo E Selvaggio, or it's more common title of Massacre In Dinosaur Valley, starts with Professor Ibanez & his daughter Eva (Suzane Carvalho as Susane Carvall) arriving at their hotel somewhere in Brazil in preparation for their trip to 'Dinaosaur Valley' situated deep in the Amazon jungle. Our hero Kevin Hall (Micheal Sopkiw) an American paleontologist from Boston University is also staying there. Hall becomes aware of the planned excursion to Dinosaur Valley & manages to hitch a ride with them & the other passengers, an ex Vietnam vet named John (Milton Morris, take these credits with a pinch of salt because I'm relying on the IMDb as the film itself has no cast listed) & his wife Betty (Gloria Cristal) plus a photographer Robbie & his two fashion models Monica & Belinda (Marta Anderson). It's not long before the inevitable happens & their plane crashes in Dinosaur Valley leaving them stranded, Professor Ibanez, Monica & the pilot are killed in the crash. Everyone else decides to try & make it back to civilisation on foot, unfortunately for them as they encounter piranha's, snakes & quicksand the immediate area is infested with a tribe of cannibals...This Italian & Brazilian co-production was co-written & directed by Michele Massimo Tarantini as Michael E. Lemick & I thought Nudo E Salvaggio was at the bottom of the cannibal/jungle/adventure scale, right at the bottom. The script by Tarantini & an uncredited Dardando Sacchetti doesn't make much sense & mixes it's genres about with little success. Don't expect an Italian gore fest because it ain't going to happen. Nudo E Selvaggio for the most part focuses on the adventure aspects as Sopkiw & co. try to escape the perils of the Amazonian jungle, it all moves along at a fair pace but I never found myself particularly involved or excited by it. The characters are as clichéd & stereotypical as you can imagine, a fashion model to provide the looks & nudity, a deranged Vietnam vet to be the antagonist, the American hero & a pretty girl whom fall in love with each other, the bad guy etc. etc. you know what I mean. There is only one brief scene of cannibalism of any description so don't be fooled by the alternate title of Cannibal Ferox 2 as this has nothing to do with Lenzi's film. The dubbing & dialogue throughout Nudo E Selvaggio is very poor even by Euro exploitation standards, obviously this doesn't help the films credibility. There are a few scenes of gore but nothing too nasty, some quick intestine eating, a cut breast, an eaten to the bone leg & an impaling with a spear & machete, actually I found Nudo E Selvaggio quite tame. For the animal lovers there is also a cockfight at the start so beware. The rape, nudity & breast quotient is much higher although this in no way makes up for Nudo E Selvaggio's short comings, of which there are many. Obviously filmed on location presumably in the Amazon (I'd imagine one jungle looks pretty much like any other) Nudo E Selvaggio looks good for this reason alone even if director Tarantini fails miserably to capture any sort of atmosphere or create any tension. As a whole Nudo E Selvaggio looks cheap & nasty all the way through, just check out the awful plane crash sequence. The music score for Nudo E Selvaggio is either taken or was stolen from Blastfighter (1984) also starring Sopkiw believe it or not. The acting is pretty bad & the terrible dubbing doesn't help, having said that Sopkiw makes for a likable hero. Overall I didn't exactly hate it but I didn't exactly like it either, at only just over 80 minutes it's not too much of a chore to sit through but I doubt I'll be watching it again anytime soon. Average at best, just about worth a watch if your a Euro exploitation fan otherwise stay well clear. One more thing this film features no Dinosaurs whatsoever, the English title only refers to a geographical area.

Space_Lord Not much to this film. Group of strangers including a handsome, wisecracking paleontologist, a professor and his hot daughter, a grizzled Vietnam vet and his alky, unsatisfied wife, two nude models and their photographer are on a plane which crashes in the 'Valley of the Dinosaurs', where headhunting and cannibalism is still practiced by the resident tribe!! I must point out that well before the plane takes off you've seen all the chicks naked already, this is that type of film. Awesome! But I digress, the survivors of the wreck must walk out of the jungle, avoiding not only the cannibals but also the cruel slavers who would just love to get their hands on some fresh meat... and are picked off by a variety of methods.Good cheesy fun with plenty of T&A!!
