A bunch of explorers looking for the lost treasure of Marco Polo end up on a cannibal infested island, where they suffer a host of indignities, from castration to getting eaten to male rape. They are then rescued by the mysterious Alexis Kincaid and his mute ex Yakuza henchman. Mucho gurning and crappy performances ensues. That's about it. It's a parody of cannibal exploitation flicks, although I had no idea prior to viewing it, as it was a blind watch. So, what can I say about this parody flick? Well, it sucks, for a start. One or two mildly amusing individual scenes aside, it's pretty unfunny. And boring.
I have no problem with parodies. If they're done right, such as Black Dynamite, they can be hilariously awesome, but when done not so right, such as here, they become brain numbingly boring, as they outlive their charm and novelty value within 15 minutes or so, leaving you with about another 70 to sit through.
In terms of nasty content, we get everything from the aforementioned castrating and male rape, as well as fetus munching and spears up da butt, and it still manages to suck. Reason being, the execution of said scenes is abysmally shoddy. What's more, all the cast sport wigs and fake moustaches, that makes them look like The Beastie Boys in that Sabotage video. The deliberately bad dubbing elicits a chuckle especially where they have what's supposed to be a black dude's voice dubbing a white guy's, but apart from that, it's pretty crap.
Troma fans might find something to like here, as it's undeniably similar in style, but I was personally bored to tears watching it, and I'm actually a fan of trashy cinema saying this.
