Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Michael Sopkiw hitches a ride to Brazil to dig up some dinosaur bones. Once in Brazil he gets in a few tangles with the locals and manages to secure a ride on a charter flight deep into Amazonia. All hell breaks loose as the plane crashes deep in the heart of the jungle, leaving Sopkiw, megalomaniac Soares, and a bunch of super models on their own to trek back to society. The group runs into cannibals, quick sand, murderous animals, and a renegade mine run by slave owners. Written by Sujit R. Varma |

| Goofs | When the six survivors of the plane crash have to wade through a shallow tributary of Amazon river, China (Andy Silas) is attacked by Piranhas who bite off the flesh of his right lower leg - Kevin (Michael Sopkiw) jumps to him and saves his life. Captain Heinz (Milton Rodríguez) kills the mutilated China - who from his point of view only represents an impediment to their escape from the jungle - by spearing him with his machete from back through thorax and throws him back into the water that one minute ago has been teemed with a hungry Piranha swarm, but: None of the killerfish shows up now to devour on the freshly killed body of China whose wounds are oozing the water with blood! To top this lack of continuity Kevin reproaching Heinz his brutal slaughter of China in a heavily (and understandably) hateful way is attacked physically by Heinz who wants to silence his accuser leading to the two men punching each other into the Piranha water (!) where they continue their fight by wrestling in the water (!) trying to drown each other! Having more luck than brains Kevin and Heinz are not attacked by any killerfish who must have disintegrated into thin air or moved on to a smarter movie shot on a higher budget.... See more » |
