    Unfunny and Unexciting

    In the unlikely case that some aspiring directors are reading these comments, I'd like to offer some advice (free of charge!), from a viewer's perspective. If you want to make a serious exotic adventure film, do it. If you want to make a spoof of exotic adventure films, go ahead. DO NOT try to make both at the same time, it doesn't work. For example, having a goofy "comic relief" character killed and beheaded and following it up with a monkey shaking a tree and dropping a coconut on a cannibal's head just makes you look like you had NO IDEA what kind of movie you wanted to make. This one is boring, meandering, cheap, racist....you get the picture. A couple of smart moments and a few glimpses of nudity from Kathy Shower (way too prissy here) are hardly worth your trouble. There is a reason everyone has forgotten about this film's existence. (*1/2)

    Don't Loose Your Head, over an Oil Massage

    This Film is Good Clean Campy Fun, All The Actors give it their All. Plus Death and an Oil Massage Where Can You go Wrong. Kathy Shower Playmate of the Year, Directed By David Keith. Just Don't Loose Your Head. It's A great Film for the Parents, When the Kids are Asleep.

    Which is Why I'm giving The Further Adventures of Tennessee Buck My TM S for Satisfactory. It's a Film you Need to see at least Once in your Life, So Put it on The Bucket List.

    David Keith and Kathy Shower at their best....

    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.

    T+A=ZZZZZZ

    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.

    DVD Release

    When will this movie be released on DVD? With all the older movies being re-released on DVD, you would think they would get around to it sooner or later. I know that it is not much more than a cheap Indiana Jones knock off, but it did have it's highlights, and was at least as good as some of the crap Hollywood has been releasing lately. Besides, it doesn't look like Spielberg and Lucas are having any luck getting Indiana Jones 4 off the ground any time soon. It won't be long before Ford is too old to be willing to put the fedora on again, anyway. David Kieth is no real substitute, but Tennessee Buck does have a tendency to get your attention. Perhaps my interest in the film isn't exactly on the high road, but when did that ever stop a movie from being released? It was a nice change of pace to see a movie that didn't try to offend, but didn't really care if it did.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The 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.
    • Quotes

      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.

    • Alternate versions
      There 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.
