A rich Caucasian couple vacationing in Borneo (which looks suspiciously like Sri Lanka) hires a famous hunter to take them up a river where dangerous headhunters dwell.
Shot in 1987 and released in 1988, "The Further Adventures of Tennessee Buck" is a 'B' imitation of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" along the lines of "King Solomon's Mines" (1985) and "Firewalker." Regrettably, it's easily the least of these. It starts off entertaining enough, but the second half devolves into dull activities in the deep jungle, which the creators try to spice up with nudity and a rape sequence involving the character played by statuesque blonde Kathy Shower. There's also a beheading scene reminiscent of "Apocalypse Now."
Shower is effective enough, yet comes across as a low budget version of Kate Capshaw in "Temple of Doom." It's brunette Tiziana Stella as Che who's the real highlight in the feminine department; with a nod to Patricia Zanetti as Monique. Unfortunately, both are absent after the first act.
The plot was ripped off from Louis L'Amour's "The Diamond of Jeru," which was made into a 'B' movie in 2001 with Billy Zane, Keith Carradine and Paris Jefferson. That one's not flip like this juvenile flick, but takes the material seriously and has mature themes. I don't mind the 'fun' spirit of this movie; it's just that it loses its mojo after the first half. Still, the jungle locations are great and Keith is surprisingly good in the titular role.
It runs 1 hour, 30 minutes, and was shot in Sri Lanka.

David Keith has Directed and played in a lot of his own films. As he did both in this Movie.
I think it was a great film. It keeps you going you never know what's coming next. Kathy Shower plays a big city wife in the jungle for her first time and has to learn that she can't dress and act like she's still in the city. Her Husband ends up getting killed and she gets kidnaped and raped by the jungle people. So David Keith has to come in and save the day.
A very good film, but keep the kids away from this one.

It's "Indiana Jones" meets "Bikini Car Wash Company," or something like that. Doesn't do either well enough to recommend -- except for a single memorable scene in which Shower is rubbed down by the natives (a la Bo Derek in her Tarzan bomb) and then "taken" by the chief.
Although this is generally a cheesy jungle-adventure movie, it does have some highlights - the settings are quite beautiful, and the pacing of the adventure is good. You won't be bored watching it.
Keith is as breezy as possible playing the eponymous lead, an unabashedly drunk jungle guide shanghai'd into escorting rich boy Van Hoffman and his gorgeous wife Shower on a hunting expedition in cannibal country. He never takes things seriously . Shower is there as decoration and Keith makes extensive use of her - she doesn't really have to act much. She's not the only female to show off her body and the prurient aspects of the film make it about halfway to a T/A picture.
There's nothing in this film that would draw specific attention to it, or away from it. Produced to be shlock, it succeeds without too much fuss. A good 2 AM cable programmer.

First and foremost "Further Adventures of Tennessee Buck" must be considered nothing more than a vanity project for David Keith, who both stars and directs. His stereotyped "big white hunter" act is a challenge to watch. What is not difficult to watch is naked "Playmate Bunny", Kathy Shower, getting lubed and oiled by some native women. Otherwise, the story is familiar, the jungle scenery acceptable, and Keith's seaplane scenes at least help to maintain interest. Whoever thought up the idea that somehow you can mix comedy with decapitations and rape, in what was obviously not intended as dark humor, should have been clued they had a concept that wasn't fully developed. - MERK
¿Sabías que…?
- TriviaThe infamous scene where Barbara (Kathy Shower) is rubbed with oil and raped by village chief was much longer and more sexual in rough cut of the film that was submitted to the MPAA who gave it X rating.
In the original scene she was being held by two native women in front of the chief's mother while the other two women remove her clothes and scatter it on floor as the chief's mother looks on. They then pin Barbara onto a table and begin to rub her in oil. The oil rubdown was few minutes longer and more erotic, the native women rub oil aggressively in between Barbara's thighs and her hips respond by grinding back vigorously. There was more strong breast kneading and squeezing with Barbara's erect nipples being tweaked and pulled. Barbara moans a few times to the point of orgasm while this happens, before she eventually does climaxes. After the scene when chief arrives and throws decapitated head at her, he then forces her in position with her rear up in the air before the rape scene, which was also much longer and graphic.
- Citas
Barbara Manchester: How can anyone shoot like that? And when they've been drinking!
Buck Malone: It takes a lot of practice. Four or five hours a day, seven days a week.
Ken Manchester: You practice shoot that much?
Buck Malone: No, I drink that much.
- Versiones alternativasThere was an very rare alternative version of the film that was only show on cable back in the 1990's. This version contained extended and missing scenes not shown in the official version which shows more of Barbara Manchester's (Kathy Shower) ordeal at the hands of the savage natives. The stripping of Barbara Barbara is held up against the wall of the hut by two young native women while an older native woman stands in front of Barbara and proceeds to pull at her shirt. Barbara's shirt is ripped open revealing her bosom and then Barbara is striped down to her panties before being pulled away to the chief's bed for her oil rub down. Extended oil sequence The infamous oil rub down is only a minute long in the official version. In this extended version the oil sequence is around 2 minutes long with additional shots of Barbara having her breasts squeezed hard relentlessly with more moans coming from Barbara as the native women work her up into a frenzy. Extra and longer sex scenes The first is of Barbara, having been oiled up extensively by the native women, lying on her front with her rear slightly raised with the chief taking her from behind. There is a wide shot of this happening that is not in the official version. The next sex scene occurs after the chief enters the hut with a naked oiled up Barbara sitting on the ground. He glares at her as Barbara backs up to the hut's wall and says in an angry tone "What do you want?" The chief then throws the head of her husband at her. This scene is extended with the chief having sex with Barbara a second time except this time Barbara is lying on her back and the chief is on top of her.
