Directed by Juan Piquer Simon
My rating: BOMB
IMDb
(DVD, Fox)
Juvenile adventure yarn supposedly with a Jules Verne connection. A young man and a "professor" of etiquette are marooned on an island. The professor could be one of the most irritating characters in cinema history, with his exaggerated mannerisms and just plain stupidity. Most of the screen time is spent building Swiss Family Robinson style huts and tools. Eventually some monsters show up, looking like rejects from the Krofft Supershow. Throw in anthropomorphic monkey antics, a banana machine gun, a French castaway girl living in tropical luxury and a ludicrous explanation for it all, and well you've got one bad, bad movie.
