A bubble-headed adventure yarn. Go to Full Review

The adventure is mediocre at best, the romance is supremely campy, and the running time is at least 30 minutes too long. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Andre K 1d After rewatch,and Gen-X Hindsight...The Soundtrack was off...No African Music. Now this is a Comicbook 80's Cult Classic! PG with Nudity!! See more Michael H 07/15/2023 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. See more Cindy L 02/04/2023 She was really pretty with beautiful eyes! The movie was cute! See more 12/25/2021 5 stars for Roberts hot bod. See more michael d 01/18/2021 Notable for the amount of nudity and not much else. Too boring to be bad/good. See more steve d 07/13/2020 The "Zebra" was the most believable part.
