South Seas

Unknown from most written sources, this mysterious production is available on video in France and this is how I manage to tell you more about it. The film is here (in France) signed by Meir Zarchi who is more well known for his gore classic DAY OF THE WOMAN. Apparently he bought the foreign rights for this gory action film and the video distributor confused the word "directed by" with distributed by. Professionaly shot on real island locations the film is a good mix of action and "travelog" ranting and Troy Donahue shouldn't be so ashamed to "forget" this film on his résumé. The pirates are quite effective as rambling sadistic rapists and gorehounds should find their ration of thrills after standing the local dancing ceremonies.
