Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Steineded How sad is this?

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Chase_Witherspoon Various interests converge on a rumoured treasure trove deep within the bowels of the Amazon, where "diamonds - the size of your eyes!" (according to Gringo - Whitman) are protected by natives and the local conquistador. Gringo is a long-time expatriate to the antipodeans, who narrowly escaped the jungles on his last encounter, losing several prospecting companions in the process. Here he strategically teams with a brace of bozo bandits (Armendariz and Luke) to locate and extricate the bounty. But anthropological crew (Dillman, Sidney & Jarrett) and Ruger packing, former Nazi (Pleasance) are already ahead of the game. As diamond fever spreads, the locals emerge to claim their taxes.Sort of a Latin style "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" in some ways, with the added distinction of a graphic 'crab attack' scene (spectacularly gruesome in typical Cardona style), firmly securing its R-rating. Upbeat, memorable score; camp, catchy dialogue; and the sets and scenery, colourful and attractive, it's a sensory experience that captures the attention. A diverse cast of veterans seem to be acutely aware of the camp value, and their performances are just at the right pitch for some light humour. Shrunken heads, animal attacks, tongue hanging, snake eating and a splash of nudity for taste, "Treasure of the Amazon" is a veritable smörgåsbord of the most fertile in cinema exploits.Director Cardona made numerous attempts to cross into mainstream with his co-ventures, and this "Tales of the Golden Monkey" style treasure hunt, would be closest to success. Well paced momentum ensures there's no drag, and with a violent double-cross around every narrative corner, it's sure to entertain those with an appreciation for potent cinematic jungle juice.

vitaleralphlouis A pretty decent adventure film from 1985 offers us several small groups of characters, each going into the wilds of the Amazon seeking different kinds of treasure. The movie is downright imaginative in the unpredictable kinds of trouble they encounter seeking out gold, diamonds or oil.The good thing about the movie is how it depends on characterization although the visuals are great too. It's much better than most of the clueless action movies of 2007. For one thing the camera holds steady instead of shaking all over creation trying to fake suspense. Most of the 2007 era cheap tricks --- such as the vim vim vim vim sound tracks weren't invented yet.Expect a disparate bunch of characters, mostly bad, a couple of girls with legs, and more fearful jungle creatures than you ever guessed existed.After the movie, buzz down to Manaus, Brazil and spend a few days seeing things first hand.

rsisbest There are those who would compare The Treasure of the Amazon to Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). They would be wrong. OK, This could have been an excellent movie, but it is not. The cast is great and at times actually demonstrates it, but the plot is so thin and ridiculous that it is extremely difficult to get into it at all.Stuart Whitman stars as your typical aging adventurer who leads a group of misfits into the Amazon to find lost WW2 treasure. Most of the group is killed in various horrible and ridiculous ways. The only way I would recommend this film is if you are interested in seeing some top notch actors doing their best to make something of nothing.The cast includes Whitman, star of such wonderful films as Rio Conchos and The Comancheros as the bull headed leader. Bradford Dillman, who starred opposite Robert Redford in The Way We Were, makes an appearance. Donald Pleasence, star of many classic films such as The Great Escape and The Eagle Has Landed, plays an evil Nazi. Rounding out the cast are John Ireland(Gunfight at the OK Corral 1957),Pedro Armendariez Jr.(License To kill 1989)and none other than Harold(Odd Job)Sakata.

bensonmum2 Three different groups set out through the jungles of the Amazon with a singular goal - to find treasure. They must overcome wild animals, cannibals, headhunters, and, ultimately, themselves if they are to reach their goal and make it out alive.Treasure of the Amazon has some really good things going for it. First, it features some of the most over-the-top moments I've seen recently. The headhunter attack scenes are a hoot. The low budget special effects add a nice touch. Second, almost every member of the cast delivers a solid performance. Stewart Whitman, Pedro Armendariz, Donald Pleasence, and Sonia Infante are all worth watching. Third, the jungle setting is fabulous. Nice touches with the scenes of animals intercut with the film. The lush jungle is beautiful and frightening at the same time. And fourth, the ending is perfect.But there are things about the movie I didn't care for that keep me from rating it any higher. First, I said that almost every member of the cast was solid. The biggest and most glaring exception is former Miss World Ann Sidney. Her fake Southern accent got old very quickly. Second, John Ireland is so underused I forgot he was even in the movie. I've always enjoyed his work and would like to have seen more of him. Third, and most importantly, the movie gives off a vibe to me that's hard to explain, but kept me from fully enjoying the movie. Much of the film came across to me like an episode of the television show Fantasy Island. Take away the gory bits and I half expected to see Mr. Roarke walking out of the woods in his white suit. It doesn't help matters that I remember seeing half of the cast on the show at various times.
