Review: “Cannibals” in Italian cinema – a topic for another day, though, with the main reason for it will be the famous movie franchise from Ruggero Deodato and Umberto Lenzi. But about the tape Sergio Martino, “Mountain of God Cannibal” and if you recall, briefly and casually. Yes, and that it, in fact, remember – if you compare this movie with the same «Cannibal Holocaust», then it will seem innocent fun adventure for family viewing with guest star for the eye candy of this chapter conditional surname. In the line “stars” are made the first “Bond girl” Ursula Andress, and because the subject of the picture priori meant her character’s appearance in the shot topless, then, that his eyes were on anything.
However, despite its seeming harmlessness, the appearance of the film at the box office was accompanied by severe censorship problems. Too carried away with the authors naturalistic filming wildlife, luxurious showing the brutal world of the jungle with all its food chain. And because of computer effects in those years has never heard of, the scene like a python eating a live monkey filmed in such a way that the authors could not then say that “no animals were harmed.” In other words, the unfortunate monkey, void sumnyashesya, simply fed the giant snake – and similar scenes (maybe not such a shocking, but still …) in a film set, which caused a temporary ban paintings in a number of countries.
In contrast to our younger brothers, over human actors Sergio Martino decided not particularly fun, as well as in the wild jungle of New Guinea do not send (the film was shot on a relatively civilized Ceylon). Search History missing professor Stevenson, who went to the mysterious mountain in search of treasure, looks quite in the spirit of adventure stories of the Victorian era, and does not claim to originality. The white man overcomes the hostile jungle and vicious native tribes, bringing the light of civilization to wild edge. Predict almost every turn of the script will be difficult for anyone even slightly familiar with the book by Rudyard Kipling, Louis Louis Jacolliot or Boussenard. Nothing like the provocations of the same «Cannibal Holocaust» here is not in sight. The “bad” natives conscientiously opposed to the “good” that live in the world, shaded light of Christianity under the guidance of a missionary father of Moses. The “good” whites reach their goals, “bad” die – and so on and so forth scenes of violence and slaughter are present in very limited quantities and are shown almost exclusively on the “bad” natives who should be punished for reasons of Christian mercy. In general, it is normal adventure, laced with the spirit of voluntary 70 small amount of scenes with naked and bound Ursula Andress (to “Daddy was bored”). Today he looks, of course, anachronistic and, to hide the obvious, boring even for an ardent fan of cinema of the time, but this magnificent species taken several dispel boredom. As for the shocking scenes of animals, in this case, they can be safely cut the strip – no influence on the development of the plot, they do not have, and even some not create a special atmosphere. With it or without camera copes Giancarlo Ferrando. So, particularly impressionable be advisable to close your eyes at the appropriate places – and all will o’key!
Oh, yeah – today is also about political correctness should not be forgotten … Well, it’s just today … And then Sergio Martino of such perversion even heard of. White – the good, the natives – the evil. Everything is clear and understandable, and no you politesse.

Primitive and don’t expect much. If your main objective is Ursula then I recommend The 5th Moushquetaire where she is in full nude.
