Jungle name! The hero of this adventure comedy, the charming crook and adventurer John Baxter, on the vast expanses of the Black Continent enters into a fight with a gang of evil poachers, led by a fugitive traitor. Jonah is everywhere accompanied by an indispensable assistant - the monkey Biba, with whom a lot of jokes and funny situations are associated.
We are waiting for swift chases, rushing fights, sparkling jokes and ultimately - unconditionally triumphant justice. Tributes were also paid to the classic westerns with the obligatory scene of “train robbery”. Inserted in the picture shooting of wildlife and wildlife of Africa do not look artificial and fit well into the overall entourage, adding the necessary color. And all this is under excellent, affectionate music, which remains in memory for a long time after watching.
Giuliano Gemma is very good here, plays extremely natural and organically, demonstrates the wonders of sports acrobatics, most if not all of the tricks performed by himself. As the leaders of the gang are harsh Jack Palance and the “eternal henchman” Romano Puppo – both of these roles are not used to. Palance does not part with the pipe, the signature villainous squint in place.
Special mention is worthy of the charming Ursula Andress. She got a kind of female version of 007 - it is very interesting to see in this image the first "Bond girl" from the unforgettable "Doctor No". Ursula fully exploits her sensual-sexual image, not forgetting to show the stunning beauty of her legs and give them kicks to gnarled men who had the folly to mistake her for a weak woman. Of course, the character is parody, but it suits her very well.
Light, pleasant, some very warm film, everything in it is permeated with kindness and humor. With an abundance of muzzle, violence here is completely frivolous and almost devoid of any cruelty. The strictest recommendation to all fans of Jackie Chan 80s, as well as adventures Bud Spencer and Terence Hill. Welcome to the jungle!
