My rating: BOMB

(DVD, VCI Entertainment)
This is really two movies. First, there is the story of a white doctor who treats a local boy for burns on his arms after he touches a "burning rock". The doctor suspects it is radioactive and calls his old friend in England for help in identifying it. Instead, he sends his female assistant, who somehow survives a plane crash on her way to India. Sabu brings her safely to the doctor, who promptly greets her with sexist remarks. Eventually they get some rock samples and his proposal to her ends the movie. However, the other movie, which takes up just as much screen time, is a documentary on elephant exploitation in India. Elephants are shown being captured, roped, chained and used as labor in the logging industry. I did not see any elephant hurt, but it is still depressing footage. The on-screen title is "The Jungle Boy", with a video title of "AKA Jungle Hell" added underneath the original title.There are no flying saucers in this film.
