Massacre in Dinosaur Valley is frequently lumped in with the Italian
Cannibal films from the 1970s and 1980s. Although there is a short
section of the film where a couple of the characters are captured by cannibals,
the film is overall more of a jungle action film with an Indiana Jones
type character as the hero. That's not to say it's a bad film, I
actually really like it. I just think the promotion is misleading and as
a result, people are often disappointed because the film is not what
they had expected.
The movie DOES have a
good bit of action, lots of hot naked chicks, several sex scenes, a
plane crash, lesbians, a bar fight, piranhas eating a guy's leg, girls
in wet shirts and torn tops with no bras, daring helicopter escape, a
couple of rapes, attempted sacrifice, a shootout, kidnapping by drug
lords, shower scene, skin magazine photo shoot, explosions, a death by
quicksand scene...oh yeah, and a couple of passing references to
dinosaur bones (hardly enough to merit a dinosaur mention in the
title). Still, that's a lot of stuff to be in one cheesy,
low budget film!

The story wanders. There are so many subplots that it's tough to
write a brief summery. They kind of keep getting off topic, but I
guess that does keep the film moving. The main story is about this
Indiana Jones type guy who collects Dinosaur bones. He's basically
broke and trying to hit his one big payday. Before the story
really takes off, there is a random almost nude photo shoot, a barroom
brawl, a sex scene and a shower scene. Then the
story kicks in, our lead talks his way onto a plane traveling to the
mysterious and dangerous Dinosaur Valley. The plane crashes.
a hot blonde model, her photographer, a crazy Vietnam vet, his bitchy
girlfriend, an archeologists daughter and our hero try to make it out of
the jungle alive. To survive the jungle they must face torn / wet
clothing, perverted leering from the psycho vet, piranhas, leeches,
quicksand, jungle natives / cannibals, poison darts, nude sacrifice to
native gods, topless canoe rides, random outdoor sex, white slavery,
rapes and lesbianism. This is not a horror film. This is not
a cannibal film, but if you want a film with lots of random hot nude
chicks in the jungle, I give this one my highest recommendation!
Gore-o-meter
rating: 4 out of 5 (Tough
call. Not really a gore movie, but there's a fair bit of gore)
Skin-o-meter:
5 out of 5
(Oh yeah! LOTS of
skin!)
