lost-in-limbo I could watch the wonderfully appealing Tanya Roberts all day in slow motion riding that horse… Ah I mean zebra and swinging through the jungle. Who wouldn't? She looked great. However with the acting, I just don't know if that was her natural abilities shinning through because it seemed to be taking a lot out of her with her constant head grabbing. No that's right, she's telepathically communicating with the animals ala "The Beastmaster". As for the film itself… of epic proportions. Director John Guillermin kind of shoots himself in the foot. The material tries to be fashionable with it's comic-book origins that's based upon S.M. Eiger and Will Eisner's comic strip books "Sheena, Queen of the Jungle", but transcends into campy goofiness and lazy story-telling with an awkward sexual allurement. I don't know who this was aimed at. It pushes the boundaries of juvenile silliness that seems to be aimed at children, but its free flowing t&a (thankyou to a nekid Tanya) rules out that possibility. But how, this one has a family feel to it. The action set-pieces are often poorly staged and eye-boggling, with a rough around the edges quality coming through. Other than Roberts being pretty much eye-candy, the stunning Kenya locations managed to give the film a sense of place with Pasqualino De Santis' handsome widescreen photography being smoothly protracted. On the other side of the coin Richard Hartley's music score was relatively ham-fisted and out-of-place. Even the script tackles many issues in a tacky, forced one-note mode that's quite rib-tickling or pain-staking depending on the mood of the viewer. The romance between Roberts and Wass is pitiful. Starring opposite of Roberts is Ted Wass, who's capably charming in his role. Donovan Scott is given free reign in the comic part. I don't think this film is that awful, as its made out to be, but it has quite a few bad elements that'll give it a hard time in trying to fight off that stinker tag. At least the laughs keep on coming. Unintentional or not, is the question?

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) For all those who like Tarzan, here's a movie that will make a jungle lover out of you even more. "Sheena" is a movie of a young blonde who helps an African tribe from being wiped out by a prince and his mercenaries. Sheena was formerly known as Janet Ames, who lost her parents in a cave-in, is taken in by a woman known as the Shaman(Elizabeth of Toro) who uses her mental commands to associate with the animals of the jungle. Her friends other than Sheena(Tanya Roberts, Julie on "Charlie's Angels") is the king. There's is a prince named Otwani(Trevor Jones) who played football in America, and is befriended by an American journalist named Vic Casey(Ted Wass) and Fletch(Donovan Scott). Little did Vic know that Otwani only goal is to wipe out the Zambuli tribe and he and his mercenaries led by Col. Jorgensen(John Forgeham) want the area for his selfish purposes. Vic joins forces with Sheena, and does his best to keep Otwani and his invaders from turning Z'kuru into a desolate wasteland. Tanya Roberts looked ravishing, she puts Tarzan into shame. And the way she uses her mental power was awesome. The countess(France Zobda) was a little more greedy than Otwani. The flamingo scene was outrageous and beautiful at the same time. Vic knows the truth about the soil that healed him from the wreck, At least, he also know about respect about the country it came from. Saving life is one thing, saving a country is another. He would not exploit Sheena or Z'kuru to outsiders because there will be greedy people wanting to get their hands on the land. Probably greedier than Otwani. Despite the nudity, "Sheena" is a good movie. maybe not for young kids, that could be watch as a family though. A very powerful movie as well. A real gem there! 5 stars!

Eduardo Martin de Urraza The movie as rated, is below average, the plot is poor, but the execution is a little poor. What I found interesting on this movie is that Roberts is absolutely gorgeous and pretty undressed for the time (some shots are too bold for 1984). In the mid 80s it could be kinda entertaining, but is not suitable for nowadays audiences, it obviously doesn't contain high art values. As a minor appreciation (and the true reason I watched it), is a superhero movie, so those who like comics and such can enjoy it a little bit more, considering that there is not so many super movies and could see it as measure to other old superhero movies (for example superman -as way better than this one-). Special effects are not bad (explotions and such are nit), but the zebra could have been painted better. For a boring Saturday afternoon it could be a choice if you can't see The Godfather for 20th time.

jmatrixrenegade First off, PG apparently at the time allowed a brief nude scene. A refreshing deal really. The violence really isn't too bad; surely of the comic variety. Not an "R" picture. Second, the movie obviously is not to be taken seriously. As harmless entertainment, it is pretty good, especially if watched in the right frame of mind. The evil countess (best line was demanding equal harm to be done to Sheena ... no ERA stuff for her!), big city reporter (reference to his view of the Towers), mystical shaman (imdb has the actress having a pretty interesting backstory), and Sheena (talk to me in words I understand!) all are fun.Commenting on Tanya Roberts' acting skills is a bit redundant. She is there because she fits into the costume, so to speak, and she does that rather well, thank you. As an actress ... well, she isn't THAT horrible, really. If Heidi Fleiss can be in a movie, TR can play Sheena! And, really, her performance adds to the fun too.I saw this at about 2am. Perfect time.
