Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

leggw I would have given this movie "0" stars, but it wasn't an option.I knew absolutely nothing about this movie except for having heard its name at one time or another. The credits at the beginning were so small that all I could see were the butterfly pictures, so there were no clues there for me.The annoying bits started right at the beginning-kidnapped/escape; chased/hide; grabbed/saved. Over and over again. A poor man's Indiana Jones I decided. Even a poor man deserves better. The overview of this film is the tired plot of feisty heroine and loyal friend finding a manly man to lead them through the jungle, across the desert and over the mountains to find her missing father. YAWN.The heroine was randomly naive, coy, and irritating. The "hero" was consistently hateful. Maybe it was lousy acting, maybe it was the director's vision. In either case, "Willard" could have been replaced with the rat of the same name and the movie would have been better. With the way this movie was going, I assumed the heroine's faithful sidekick was infatuated with her. Could be. Who knows?After a short while I realized that the lip movements and voices didn't match the characters. Okay, so this was a foreign film. Then they started having the female leads topless. Okay, so the movie was either Italian or French. When we get to the land of the Yik Yak, the Oriental flourishes appeared. Ah ha! French. Now I knew I was in for artsy, futuristic nonsense like "The Fifth Element."Par for the course, we now have leather outfits, women in bondage scenes, and various forms of female nudity. Oh, and by the way, it is the usual female only society where men are used and sacrificed.I have to assume that all of the previous reviews were written by men. I tried to watch this drivel. I really did. I kept asking my husband, "What happened? Why did they do that? What did I miss?" Bless his heart, he assured me I didn't miss anything, because the movie didn't make sense from one scene to the next.I have to admit that I am not turned on by female nudity, so by the end of this travesty my eyes were crossed and tearing, and my chin had drooped to my chest. Leaving my brain at the door wasn't necessary. By the end of this movie I was brain-dead.

skyhowl this will go down in memory as 1 of my absolute favorite movies of all time. It was sexy,cute and entertaining as hell. The 2 female leads(particularly zabou)were absolutely stunning..zabou is so sexy i could barely stand it! The music was great,the photography was very unique. This movie was just plain fun! Just jackelin is one of the best directors of all time...it's a shame he doesn't make movies anymore.the soft core erotic movies on late night cable are garbage(1 room sets.no story,and huge fake breast)the guys like just and zalman king know how to make truly erotic movies.They just don't make em like this anymore.Great stuff can't wait for some genius to release this on DVD,the sooner the better!

ChaosRN137 Actually based on characters created by John Willie. In the 1940s, John Willie, (aka John Coutts), created an obscure fetish magazine called Bizarre and produced four cartoon serials, of which "The Adventures of Sweet Gwendoline" was best known. It is silly, dirivetive, and totally camp. If you llike the "old style D.I.D. (damsel in distress) films, this takes it to Hef's corner, with enough fetish material to please those who liek it, and enough to startle those who have never...... Can't wait for the DVD! (this is based on the cable version)

frankfob A beautiful woman hires an intrepid adventurer to help find her father, who has disappeared in the jungle while searching for a rare and priceless butterfly. Along the way they run into cannibals, a race of Amazon warriors and all the usual attractions one would expect to find in a lost jungle. That's pretty much all you have to know of the plot, which is mainly an excuse to show off scads of beautiful naked women, gorgeous Filipino scenery, some almost competent action scenes, and Tawny Kitaen. That about covers it. Director Just Jaeckin apparently put a fair chunk of the tons of money he made off his "Emanuelle" movies into this one, and it shows; the film doesn't look cheap, at least, and Jaeckin's photography shows off the film's best assets--including Tawny Kitaen's--to their best advantage. Go at it with the right attitude and this film can be a lot of fun.
