The U.S. government, eager to protect the nation's avacado supplies, recruits feminist professor Margo Hunt. She is hired to make contact with the Piranha Women, an all-female tribe who believe men are only good as a source of food. Accompanying Dr. Hunt on her trip are Jim, a guide of questionable competence, and Bunny, a student who wants to start a feminist cookery course.......Getting straight to the point, the title is the funniest and most entertaining part of the film, a wannabe satire showing that men are the weak minded fools we've always knew they were, whilst at the same time portraying women as literal man eaters.So in a sense, it can be quite clever at times, but the depiction of men in this film belong in a Zucker Brothers comedy, rather than a wannabe scathing satire on the men are from mars, women are from Venus argument.The bar scene, where they are trying to hire a guide, just feels like it's from a different film, and takes you away from the narrative, much like the strange tribe scene, where Jim turns the men into real men.And then there's the never ending references to Apocalypse Now, calling the main antagonist Kurtz is one thing, but you really have to do something other than to have someone say 'the horror, the horror'.The stunt casting of Shannon Tweed is wonderful though, and it does have that familiar eighties sheen to it, but other than the wonderfully amusing title, it doesn't do much.

This movie is a delirious spoof of Indiana Jones, from the feminist point of view, with a plethora of delicious women and, most of all, Karen Mistal, the sexiest girl in the field in the Eighties. The title say it all, but it is better than you might think. Worth a look.

Yeah, this should be a cult classic! I know of some cheap terrible spaghetti westerns that are more well know than this, which is a shame. I didnt laugh out loud once, not at all, its still amusing and has some good action in it. There were some funny scenes, like when she wanted to hire the mercenaries, and when Bill Maher tired to teach the Jungle men how to be "real" men! I suggest it to people who love great cheesy B flicks, like myself! This one is a keeper. I give it a 7/10.

OK, it's a low-budget flick and the production values are almost non-existent. But the script is great, the humor is intelligent and it has great comic acting by Shannon Tweed and Bill Maher. Tweed was so good in this as the "straight man" that I'm amazed she hasn't done more comedy. This is one of my favorite movies.
