Maciste Contre la Reine des Amazones (1973)

Jungle adventure/Amazons/Erotica. France. Starring Val Davis, Lina Romay, Robert Woods, Kali Hansa & Alice Arno. Directed by Jesus Franco.

VML (Holland). French language. Letterboxed.

Sexy amazon cheapie by the king of euro-sleaze, Jess Franco. Silly fun. Don't be fooled by the Maciste-title though, it has nothing at all to do with the peplum series - in fact it's more a sleaze film than even an adventure film. 3/5

La Esclava Blanca (1985)

Jungle adventure. Spain. Starring Lina Romay, Mabel Escaño, Conchita Montes & Agustín Gil. Directed by Jesus Franco.

Video Fantasia (Spain). Spanish language. Fullscreen.

A couple of young newlyweds on honeymoon-safari are kidnapped by their guides and encounter savages, a gold treasure, a kung fu-kicking Lina Romay and much more... Very releaxed and entertaining no budget Franco flick, my favorite of his 1980s jungle adventures. 3/5

Golden Temple Amazons (1986)

Original title: Les Amazones du Temple D'or

Amazons/Jungle adventure. France. Starring Analía Ivars, William Berger, Antonio Mayans, Olivier Mathot, Eva León, Lina Romay, Alicia Príncipe & Emilio Linder. Directed by Alain Payet & Jesus Franco.

DVD: Shriek Show (USA). English dubbed. Widescreen. Good quality. The DVD cover has the credits confused with Franco's (better) Maciste Contre la Reine des Amazones!

Really, really dumb Eurociné cheapie that I believe was started by Franco and finished by pornographer Alain Payet. Pretty funny little film. 2/5

Diamonds of Kilimandjaro (1983)

Jungle adventure. Spain/France. Starring Katja Bienert, Antonio Mayans, Aline Mess, Olivier Mathot, Daniel White, Lina Romay & Daniel Katz. Directed by Jesus Franco.

DVD: Shriek Show (USA). Widescreen. English dubbed. Good quality.

I was heavily intoxicated when I saw this (perhaps that's the proper way to watch it) but I remember quite liking it. Franco at his silliest. 3/5
