Definitely an acquired taste, this is nevertheless a campy, sexy, funny blast. Some great sets, and absolutely bonkers costumes coupled with some hilariously atrocious acting make this a hell of a lot of fun.
Oh, and there are a lot of exposed breasts, if that's your bag.

An utterly bonkers film that only the eighties could throw up and thirteen year old me would have loved. The ex Mrs. Coverdale goes to greater lengths for a butterfly than any man before. The film is in two bizarre halves, the first a jungle exploration film with little people in sailor hats and the best fake crocodile ever, the second a futuristic prison movie with fashion crimes galore and more boobs than you can shake a stick at. In the words of D'Arcy, "Superb! It's superb!"
