Trivia

Goofs
When the six survivors of the plane crash have to wade through a shallow tributary of Amazon river, China (Andy Silas) is attacked by Piranhas who bite off the flesh of his right lower leg - Kevin (Michael Sopkiw) jumps to him and saves his life. Captain Heinz (Milton Rodríguez) kills the mutilated China - who from his point of view only represents an impediment to their escape from the jungle - by spearing him with his machete from back through thorax and throws him back into the water that one minute ago has been teemed with a hungry Piranha swarm, but: None of the killerfish shows up now to devour on the freshly killed body of China whose wounds are oozing the water with blood! To top this lack of continuity Kevin reproaching Heinz his brutal slaughter of China in a heavily (and understandably) hateful way is attacked physically by Heinz who wants to silence his accuser leading to the two men punching each other into the Piranha water (!) where they continue their fight by wrestling in the water (!) trying to drown each other! Having more luck than brains Kevin and Heinz are not attacked by any killerfish who must have disintegrated into thin air or moved on to a smarter movie shot on a higher budget....

Quotes
Kevin Hall: [to China] You know what you are? You're a fat, smelly, evil bastard.

What can I say- I enjoyed it.

The copy that I borrowed from a friend is titled "Amazonas". I have been a friend of all the Italian gore films, so that is why I checked it out. It has adventure, sex, and gore. It sort of reminded me of Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals in that it goes a little farther in the sex scenes then your average adventure movie. The copy I have is the uncut unrated version. So if there is a rated R version, I can imagine it just wouldn't have the same edge that the unrated version has.
