Africa

One wonders why this movie was made. Producers had extra money to spend and this was an apt vehicle.

Are the basic human instinct errors added deliverately?

As other have remarked, a "survivalist" walks away from the road where she has the best chance of being found.

I kept waiting for something relevant to happen and it would give this film a good reason for having been made. I didn't find any. I am amazed that a couple people found interesting and even recomend it to others ! I think that if Iwas really p***sd off with somebody, recomending this movie would be my evil revenge.

So, there isn't anything salvageable? Hmmm good people worked here.

P. S. Dorette is indeed a beautiful woman, should not have.to waste her time in movies like this one.

"Africa" is a drama which is sooooo bad it's funny. The film is about a blonde babe/model who is driving somewhere near Johannesburg, S.A. when her car overturns rendering her unconscious. When she comes to, she takes off in her miniskirt across the African wilderness instead of staying by the road (duh) and hitching home. After that, the film becomes and odyssey of survival where our cute little protag has to eat bugs and run from lions and all that exciting stuff. If you can swallow that premise, then maybe you have a chance of swallowing the whole horribly directed sham of a flick which follows. A real stinkeroo!! (D)

Thought the scenery and music to the movie were great! I would but the Soundtrack if one existed, because I liked the African-themed music. The animals were cool, and the scenery of Africa is mysterious and awesome. You never know what animal is there to eat you. Man (or woman is not on the top of the food chain in Africa!)

The story and dumbness of the movie, not so much. The lead actress is a mess, and manages to survive despite easy things that could easily save her. The story ignores obvious thing that could have lead the lead actress to safety, and lack of common sense takes away from the movie. Writers should have spend a little more time detailing a better story than the framework the movie is built around, a hot, spoiled girl trying to survive in the wildness, unsung her past experiences with her Father to not give up.

This movie has got to be the worst movie I have seen in years! I thought that even though I had never heard of the actors before I would at least give the movie a go--bad idea! I actually checked the movie cover half-way through to check it wasn't a comedy, it was that bad. The acting and script both made me cringe, the amount of continuity errors and holes in the plot were astounding and the music and editing were totally amateur it was embarrassing. If you want to take this movie seriously, don't bother, it just isn't worth it. But if you take this movie as something to laugh at, then you might just be able to sit through the hour and a half of it!

Great scenes and scenery. Even a clever thing here and there. But buying into the injured fashion model becoming a survivalist in the African bush definitely meant some producers were influenced by a different type of bush to get behind this ridiculous premise. It's more survivable to get through than an American 80's movie like Iron Eagles with terrible sound track...this flick Africa has a decent sound track that fits the scenes, and you can keep trudging forward. Would have been better if the movie developed a female character that is the 'plain Jane' to show that superficial bimbos who have city culture manipulation skills would get eaten alive in raw nature, but that a practical woman might have a chance. Most guys will appreciate the skin exposure scenes but nothing is too overtly tasteless.
