stranded in dinosaur valley
After hitching a ride on a flight in to the Amazon jungle Michael Sopkiws vacation takes a turn for the worst when the plane crashes and leaves only a few survivors. To make their way out safely they must contend with the local natives and vicious slave driver. Michele Massimo Tarantini does his best to please the audience with lots of nudity, violence and a brief bit of cannibalism. Unfortunately the film is very boring and only the most hardened fan of italian jungle adventures should seek it out. br / br /The first DVD from VIPCO has a non anamorphic 1.85:1 transfer that starts off very grainy but after about 15 minutes it clears up and looks quite good. Sadly the BBFC have had their wicked way and cut nearly 2 minutes from the film. The best option comes from the USA in a good 16:9 transfer and lots of extras including an audio commentary with Michael Sopkiw, interviews with Sopkiw and director Tarantini, deleted scenes (unfortunately without sound), theatrical trailer and a photo gallery br /

No massacre and no dinosaurs!
A low budget cross between Indiana Jones and Cannibal Ferox,this is just direct to video nonsense that seems to have found a whole new audience thanks to DVD and re-releases of long lost 80's horror.brMichael Sopkiw[who also starred in the Mad Max rip-off 2019 After the Fall of New York]plays a young palenontologist who hitches an aeroplane ride deep into the Amazon jungle with a cast of badly dubbed europeans.brWhen the plane crashes in freak turbulance[possibly the worst plane crash in movie history,just check out that model]the survivors are left to fend for them selves against everything you would expect from a cheesey jungle adventure such as piranhas,leeches,quicksand and not forgetting cannibals.brDirection and plot are inept at best and apart from Sopkiw its a cast of amateurs not helped by a awful script.brAs is to be expected there is a fair bit of gore from piranha bites to cannibalism but it is far less extreme than say Cannibal Ferox or Holocaust and thanks to some badly mis-timed comedic moments and bad 80's disco music its hard to feel to repulsed by the proceedings.brOn a plus point its fairly entertaining if your in the right mood with plenty of crowd pleasing nudity.brShriek Shows uncut DVD presents the movie in anamorphic 1.85:1 and for the most part looks fine with plenty of detail and good colour although some night scenes look a little dark and grainy.Sound is an English dub in mono that lacks detail but is quite punchy.brExtras consist of a feature length commantary and interview with Sopkiw.He obviously didnt have that good a memory of the movie as both of these are pretty bland and cover the same ground.There is also a short interview with director Tarantini in Italian with English subs.brThe movie is also available in the UK through Vipco and is titled Cannibal Ferox 2 to cash in on Umberto Lenzi's classic.This version is cut by over two minutes and features no extras and a poor transfer.brRecommended only to hardened fans of Italian trash cinema.brMovie-**brPicture-***brSound-**brExtras-**brRatings are out of five.
