| Talk about strange and wonderous things! This film is full of camp, not only is southern California transformed into wild avocado jungle but it is inhabited by man eating feminists! Shannon Tweed, whose breasts have starred in numerous films, is a teacher of women's studies! Then of course there is Bunny, this girl is every teenage guy's dream and every feminists nightmare - but she wants to be a progressive woman. There are plenty of little gags here and there, most of them involving Maher and Bunny being boneheads. Dr. Hunt is recruited by the U.S. Government to make liaison with the Pirahna Women and hires Jim as her guide. After encountering vicious hippos, catfish, and Donnahews (men who knit and cook) the explorers discover the Pirahna women are led by a savage ex-feminist and poised to wage war! Bunny nearly joins the cannibals but is unable to complete the initiation rite, which involves her making love to then consuming Jim. Everything works out in the end though, Kurtz is slain, Jim and Bunny marry, and Dr. Hunt returns to her college. A fun film with plenty of women running around in leather loincloths and tops.

| Things I Learned From This Movie: | |
|
- Most of southern California is virgin jungle.
- Girls just want to tear men into strips and eat them with gaucamolle dip.
- An hour and a half of feminine nonsense punctuated with half-nude women is tolerable.
- Bill Maher is the last real man but he looks fairly effeminate in a white neck kerchief.
- There are leopards living wild in California.
- Lost female tribes speak French.
- If given a choice between Bill Maher or Shannon Tweed in their underwear I would pick the latter.
- Bunny has a damn lot of clothes, what is up with this girl?

|
- 3 mins - RANDOM GRATUITOUS BREAST SHOT!
- 4 mins - Pretty pale skin for living in a jungle her whole life.
- 14 mins - Now this is a shirt.
- 18 mins - That's a pretty small barrel for a .44 Magnum, maybe it's a 44 Magnum divided by 2?
- 19 mins - Bunny in one of many outfits, where she keeps them nobody knows.
- 38 mins - Mallards in a tropical rain forest?
- 46 mins - Just conjuring up cases of beer huh? But why Old Milwaukee? Ugh.
- 75 mins - The compound must be right on the international date line, one side is day the other night.

- Bunny: "I've been thinking about changing my major from Home Economics to Feminist Studies, but I wasn't sure if you had any feminist cooking classes."
- Bunny: "I have a lot of fantasies about being tied up and spanked."

| Col Mattel: "Avocados are vital to this nation's security interests. With the communists already in control of Nicaragua and Guatemala and El Salvador strife with revolution California is the last secure supply of Avocados in the free world. We're on the verge of a major Avocado gap!"

| Bunny: "Well, sometimes when I'm with a guy I wish that he would tie me up with red licorice ropes and then spank me...and then he'd eat the ropes... and then he'd free me...and then we'd make love while the philharmonic played 'Bolero.'"

| Jim: "Okay, let's see...so she's going to make love to me, that's, that's good - but she's going to kill me and eat me, that's bad."

| If there is ever a moment to capture, it is Bill Maher accusing Shannon Tweed of being a cannibal feminist. He makes a convincing argument.

How can so many people just not get it? Watch TLC if you want realism.

I watched this film a couple of years ago. Yes, it is a bad movie, but it's a GOOD bad movie. If I want realisim, I'd watch a documentary. This film is a good way to kill an hour and a half and be mildly entertained.

The movie seems to be deliberately dumb, in a smart sort of way, and the cast is a hoot. The assumption is that Shannon Tweed is too pretty to be a good actress, but ever since I saw her in a very funny guest shot on CAGNEY AND LACEY (as the star of a TV cop show who makes life difficult for the main characters--of the actual TV cop show), I've liked her. She's very funny here again, as the one reasonably sane, normal, brain-functioning person caught in a vortex of idiots, fanatics, bimbos, and worst of all--politicians. Bill Maher is also pretty funny as the macho idiot she's forced to deal with, as is Adrienne Barbeau as the feminist cannibal. If you never see this film, your life will not be poorer for it--but there are worse ways to waste a couple of hours . . .

This has got to be one of the funniest camp style movies I've seen, I finally watch it again after many years and it's still as funny now as it was then. True you have put up with the insufferable with Bill Maher, but in this rare case he is actually funny. And who, I ask who could like Bunny? She is the typical 80's airhead with a great body, what's not to like about that.
It is well worth adding to any collection.

:tongueout:Totally camp and very "inside" politics, right for that time. .. As usual, funny, campy stuff will be slammed by people who "don't get it"...
But this flick is well done and quite funny. Good direction, good music, just well done - even if it shows its age a little bit.

Too few movies utilize both the words "cannibal" and "avocado" in their titles.
Cryin' shame.
