Shandra: The Jungle Girl (1999) User Reviews

Unbelievably bad even by the lowest standards

[jivers01 · 2/10 · 9 October 2013]

This made-for-cable sludge is from a company that specializes in watered down non-erotic erotica. I enjoy so-bad-it's-funny films and cheesy exploitation flicks that provide something entertaining, but this movie is an epic fail across the board and a total waste of time. It resembles a badly acted porn film that's been edited down to an R-rating.

Evil corporate douche-bags capture a legendary Amazon jungle girl (Lisa Throw) for scientific study. She seems to have eternal youth and has the power to transfer memories of the past -- or past lives (including scenes from old dinosaur movies) by touching people. Unfortunately, the handling of every aspect of this film is amateurish and absurd. This should have been a parody yet it's played deadly serious.

The cast features the worst actors ever assembled. Sultry redhead Lisa Comshaw comes off best as a tough hunter/guide. Under the names Tori Sinclair and Fawna she made scores of underground fetish videos. And I'm willing to bet good money her "Frankentickle", "Austin Powerless" and "Leatherbound Dykes from Hell 15" are a lot better than this boring piece of crap.

Jungle Love

The heartwarming tale of a young woman who just wants to live in peace with nature, but is forced by some strange malady to sex the life out of people. She is brought to civilization by a pair of concerned scientists, who discover that only the power of a three-way can diffuse this strange disorder. Now that's science! Plenty of fun for fans of the genre, lots of nice-looking women, with an offbeat cameo by cult b-movie director J.R. Bookwalter as a disgruntled strip-club patron.

Boring

This is nothing but a spoof of "Sheena" on hormones with a lot of sex. The story concerns a wild girl who is captured and gets it on with the people who want to experiment with her. Here there is no plot since I'm not going to give away the rest of it. There is however a lot of sexual activity here,but if you want to see it just for the strong sexual content,then this is your kind of movie. See it in the UNRATED version.

READY TO TAKE OFF THOSE LAB COATS?

This is a bad soft core erotica film I am over rating at 7 stars because I liked it. Shandra (Nenna Quiroz) is a fully loaded shaved silicon beauty running barefoot in the jungle, stealing the life essence out of men...clearly the communist plot as described in "Dr. Strangelove."...

General Ripper:" Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream? Ice cream, Mandrake? Children's ice cream!...You know when fluoridation began?...1946. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works. I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love...Yes, a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women...women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake...but I do deny them my essence."

The opening song during the credit roll sings praises of Shandra in a James Bond fashion. The praises themselves are so over-the top it reminded of the minstrels in "Monty Python's Holy Grail." The film gave me more flashbacks than brown acid.

Anyway, a crew goes to Brazil to capture Shandra, tying up some guy as bait. There are good guys and bad guys once she is captured and more sex.

There is plenty of sex M/F, F/F, and MFF action. Sex and silicon nudity (Nenna Quiroz, Mia, Lisa Comshaw, Kristina Renee, Venesa Talor)
