TERROR IN THE JUNGLE
German Titles:
Verdammt in grüner Hölle / Flug 413 nach Rio meldet sich nicht
USA, 1968
Directors: Tom DeSimone (Plane sequence),
Andy Janzack (Jungle sequence) & Alex Graton (Temple sequence)
LOL/10
The rest of the films consists of huge amounts of stock footage (monkeys, snakes, iguanas, crocs etc.) and annoying natives who think the boy (who constantly cries for his Daddy) is the son of their god INTI (because his hair shine like the sun - another scene thas to be seen to be believed).
In the end (one more scene that has to be seen to be believed) the stuffed animal suddenly becomes alive (for whatever reason), the natives kill each other and the boy falls into some kinda quicksand. Did i mention the horrible El-Condor-Pasa-like soundtrack and the half-assed editing? Oh, and don't believe the poster - suspense and terror my ass!
Final words: this movie is amazing and deserves to be rediscovered for bad-movie-nights. Best watched in a triple feature together with "Troll 2" and "Don't Go Near The Park" :-D

Omfg, what was that? Seriously, this is the stupidest and silliest movie I've seen since "Troll 2", I shit you not!
The movie was never released on VHS and is widely unknown, but according to the Imdb user reviews, the few that have seen it, had the same fun as I had.
The movie (which btw is an adventure movie and has nothing to do with horror) is unbelievably cheap-looking and so full of unintenionally hilarious scenes, I just couldn't stop laughing.

There's this plane full of nutty characters like the members of the 'rock' band who all look like drunken road sweepers wearing wigs and spontaneously start singing songs about 'Soft Lips', and there's also 3 old nuns, one of them dead in a coffin, one who falls out of the plane and one who screams her lungs out.
The plane (a crappy-looking model aeroplane) crashes down and kills off half of the passengers. The other half flees out of the plane into a river where they all get eaten by crocodiles - so after half an hour, the entire cast is dead, except for a blonde little boy and his stuffed animal who float down the river in the dead nun's coffin - a scene which has to be seen to be believed.
