THE BOOTLEG FILES: SHAME OF THE JUNGLE | Film Threat
By admin April 25, Yes, bring out the cleavage, toss around the double entendres, run wild with inappropriately phallic symbolism, and let the fun begin. Sadly, too few Americans have ever seen this flick. This Tarzoon is skinny, misanthropic, and painfully clumsy. It seems June is the new captive of Queen Bazunga, a menopausal villain who desires world domination and a new hairdo not necessarily in that order.
Shame of the Jungle is a wild adult animated spoof of Tarzan movies; the ultimate 70's Drive-in classic. The film is a brilliant satire of jungle inhabitants trying to cope with all the headaches of a modern day society. Their once idyllic spot has been turned into a filthy hole where pollution, overcrowding, and even sexual, racist and military problems exist. Brilliantly conceived and created by the famous French-Belgian cartoonist, Picha, this cartoon masterpiece was later revamped for an American audience by the enormously talented Anne Beatts and Michael O'Donoghue of Saturday Night Live fame.
Play trailer. Shame, the ape man of the jungle, is aghast when his woman, June, is kidnapped by a gang of giant penises. They take her to their queen, Bazunga, a bald woman with fourteen breasts.
