Wildlife photographers Terry and Jim Pendrake travel to the dense and mysterious Amazon Jungle. But the excitement they find there is not in the unusual plants and animals of the jungle, but rather in the fearful adventure ignited when they become a madman's quarry.

This movie would be much better if it had been digitally enhanced. It looks about as bad as an old tape. Even some of the sound is hard to make out. Except for this, I liked the movie. I am a willaim Smith/Peter Brown fan and they're both in it, but it would have been nice to see it better. There is a good motorcycle race and lots of outdoor footage.

Cheesy and hilarious! by Tricia L. Kane (Seattle, WA) 5 Stars

Tongue-in-cheek I must say that I loved to watch how cheesy this movie ended up being. I thought I was going to watch a scary flick about how piranha's eat people, but instead got a dose of 70's adventure that attempted to use a combination of cliche and action to it's advantage....with hilarious results. Not what I expected, but I had a great time making fun of it!!

for William Smith fans only 1 Stars

1 star for William Smith. Not as good a part as say Darker Than Amber but he is in a lot of it. Alas, most of the pic is taken up with scenes of planes landing, people riding motorcycles down roads, towards the camera, nature scenes and such dull stuff so by the time Smith comes on the scene you are asleep and there isn't much action so this attempt at redoing the most dangerous game never comes off because you only get a minute or so of that. There is a scene where a guy gets eaten by piranha. Too bad. Where is Run Angel Run or The Losers on DVD?

Not what you think 1 Stars

Don't mistake this disk for the cool Roger Corman movie of the same title. This movie is so bad that I would have given it a 0 out of 5 stars it that option was available. Only order this if you have a perverse love of horrifically bad seventies adventure movies.
