- A man saw a woman in the jungle from a plane.
- During a conversation with the police, the shaman simply forgot her staff on the ground. Not that she had a lot of things to get confused about.
- It is clear that a tribe of savages is shown, but still they are modern savages living near civilization, and it is typical for such people to use some technique and have an idea of what is happening in the world. Sheena even speaks fluent English, but at the same time she has to explain from scratch about television, binoculars, kissing, she talks nonsense about cars and gasoline. The authors clearly confused modern savages with people from the Stone Age. It's even more bizarre - Sheena came to this area as a child, not born there - how can she be so clueless?
- Sheena wonders if a white man has chest hair. Heck, she's supposed to have them in some places, too, but the film shows her as if her perfect model appearance was created by nature.
- The goal of the film was to show the female equivalent of Tarzan, but Sheena practically did not demonstrate physical training, brought up by wildlife, she only rode a vine a couple of times, and that’s literally all. The character concept doesn’t work.
- In the scene of falling from a helicopter, a mulatto in a skirt and a green shirt fell out of the cabin, a red woman in a dress flies down. "What's the difference?" the authors thought.
- There is no logic of displacement. So Sheena's in a jungle battle, and in the next scene, she's already chasing a car racing through the wilderness -- these are different ecosystems, they have to be at a great distance from each other. In general, there is a feeling that if you start drawing on a piece of paper, how the characters moved throughout the film, then nonsense will come out.
- The film has serious problems with the editing of the sound, it is mainly accompanied by background humming, similar to gramophone, but sometimes it is also interrupted. But this is still nonsense compared to the kind of music in the film, or rather a slurred rumbling instead of it.
But not everything is faulty. The film has this lost meditative component that was in classical cinema before the movie rides came. It has interesting dialogues, gestures, some characters are nice to look at, and here I’m talking not only about half-naked women, you can see that the actors did not try very hard, but enjoyed their work. Tolerably woven some action with animals, helicopters are actively involved in the film, and it should be understood that today it would be just painted models inserted on the chromakey, and there everything was filmed live. In some places, the film is happy, but we must admit that the most adequate part of it is the first quarter. It is quite a beautiful backstory, a criminal plot in the spirit of Detective Colombo, all the most interesting characters played in the beginning. Next, the film simply merges a number of characters, so you can only look at a vague love story.
Yes, not a fountain, but having such a number of nominations for Golden Raspberry and getting into the hundred worst films of all time is clearly too much. His skittish moments are absolutely typical for that time, then almost everywhere underplayed, underweight, poorly edited, and the scripts were simpler. Compare it to “Gods Must Have Crazy” (especially the second part) – well, almost one level, but for some reason everyone loves that movie, and this one was drowned.
