Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A bubble-headed adventure yarn. Rated: 1.5/4 May 18, 2024 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The adventure is mediocre at best, the romance is supremely campy, and the running time is at least 30 minutes too long. Rated: 5/10 Sep 7, 2020 Full Review Rob Vaux Mania.com An earnest mid-80s attempt to bring a comic-book heroine to life in ways that make Halle Berry's Catwoman look like Anne Hathaway's Catwoman. Rated: F Oct 24, 2014 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice Tanya Roberts is upstaged here by a clever elephant and a talkative chimp. Rated: 1/5 Aug 21, 2004 Full Review Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) A horse painted like a zebra and a flamingo stampede just aren't enough. Rated: 1/5 Sep 23, 2003 Full Review Fred Topel About.com A cheesy classic. Warrior queen Roberts = girl power! Rated: 3/5 Aug 11, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Michael H Tanya Robert's is the highlight of this Tarzan like tale. Some of the cinematography is beautiful, and the use of an African Elephant among other animals does give this movie a little more gravitas. I believe the plot is reasonably played out, and Richard Hartley's music is amazingly epic, in a 1980's soundscape. Not a bad little film, and one that likely is underrated due to its campiness. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Cindy L She was really pretty with beautiful eyes! The movie was cute! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member 5 stars for Roberts hot bod. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/25/21 Full Review michael d Notable for the amount of nudity and not much else. Too boring to be bad/good. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review steve d The "Zebra" was the most believable part. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie had heart and lots of it. Definitely a cult classic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
