LAST CANNIBAL WORLD (aka JUNGLE
HOLOCAUST)-1977-Searching for oil, Robert Harper (Massimo Foschi)
and his friends Rolf (Ivan Rassimov), Charlie (Sheik Razak Shikur)
and Swan (JudyRosly) crash land in a jungle in The Philippines.
While contending with alligators and boas, they explore. At night
Swan disappears. The men search for her and Charlie is impaled by an
obvious trap.Later the guys spy a group of savage cavemen like
cannibals enjoying a guest. They assume it's Charlie so they go off
and build a raft to escape but a rapids and a rock put an end to that
and Rolf's life. Robert is now all alone in the cannibal jungle!
After wandering, eating poison mushrooms and vomiting, the natives
capture him, chain him to a rock and tear off all his clothes (warning: full
frontal male nudity). After he survives a fall (they wanted to see if
he could fly) he's put in a pit and native kids piss on him. A native
woman (Me Me Lai) seems to take a liking to him. A snake eats a bat
and the bizarre savages disembowel a crocodile. Robert manages to
escape his prison and run away, forcibly taking the native girl with
him. While running through the jungle they see a woman give birth.
After an encounter with leeches the girl runs away. He pursues her.
When he catches her he punches her, slaps her, bloodies her nose and
rapes her doggy style. She seems to have a change of heart though and
later brings him food. Seeking shelter from a storm, they hide in a
cave and find Rolf alive but wounded. The trio wander some, can't
attracted a helicopter looking for them and almost get eaten by
crocodiles. Despite their best efforts, the tribe catches up with
them. They kill the girl, eviscerate her, cook her entrails and eat
them. Near the end Robert fights and kills one of the natives and
eats his heart. He and Rolf (who takes a spear in the chest) make it
back to the plane but Rolf dies. Said to be based on a true story. This cannibal craziness was directed by Ruggero Deodato who later
made another exploitative cannibal movie CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST and other
violent low budget dreck. Lamberto Bava is credited with script
continuity.
