Film Frenzy

A bubble-headed adventure yarn.

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

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.

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.

Notable for the amount of nudity and not much else. Too boring to be bad/good.
