This was filmed in 1983, but part way through production, someone absconded with the dough and the film had to shut down. So what was left was restructured and stuffed with nature footage and other filler.
Not a lot of the film makes sense.
George Clooney, Laura Dern and Charlie Sheen are campers who get killed at the beginning of the movie. But Laura Dern does do a bit of a strip tease down to her skivvies before jumping in a sleeping bag with George Clooney.
Louise Fletcher (Vedek Winn from DS9) is a politician turned rock concert promoter. She's basically the Mayor in Jaws.
John Rhys-Davies (Indiana Jones, TLOTR, The Untouchables, Sliders) plays Bouchard, a skilled and wise hunter.
This is 12 kinds of silly, but some real skill went into fixing this movie. Some jeep footage was run at 2x speed because it was important to keep the ending moving and not slow it down.
I left the movie very happy with it.
I think it's important that these lost films see the light of day.
score 7/10
