More ghastly cannibal stuff........

I can't figure out why these late 1970s, Italian cannibal adventures intrigue me so much. I always get disgusted when they kill animals for the sake of a stupid movie, and yet time and time again, I'm drawn to movies like SLAVE OF THE CANNIBAL GOD, which, in this case, I saw under its uncut European version, MOUNTAIN OF THE CANNIBAL GOD. I had thought that with big names like Ursulla Andres and Stacey Keach involved, this one would be at least a little cleaner than CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, the most notorious of the genre.

As another of those "movies we love to hate", I recommend this one if it's easily accessible. Fans of Andres will enjoy seeing her naked, of course. As a jungle adventure, it succeeds and the occasional gore makes it that much more intense. Scenes of humans bleeding are faked, but as is often the case, the scenes of animals (i.e. a monitor lizard) bleeding are way too authentic. I don't advise eating spagheti while watching this story of some lady seeking her missing husband in a dense jungle, and stumbling upon "The Puka", a group of cannibals (one of which is a dwarf; added for comic relief).

Wissenswertes
The film was banned in the UK until 2001 for its graphic violence (mostly for its very real animal violence) and was once one of the infamous 72 "video nasties".

Patzer
When the snake eats the monkey, it is supposed to be natural footage of one animal eating another. There are many leaves around the shot and one of them was very clearly added during editing to hide a device used to launch the monkey into the snake's mouth (a frame-by-frame analysis of this scene can be found on the unrated Blue Underground DVD release).

Crazy Credits
The film's ending credits do not actually state what the job of each individual was. Instead, it merely lists the technicians involved, which is why many have mistaken this for a cast list. This was because of the guerrilla nature of the shooting of this film, which meant the film crew positions were very fluid.

Alternative Versionen
This film was one of the original 72 video nasties of the UK (under the title "Prisoner of the Cannibal God") and was on the infamous DPP 72 list. The theatrical version was cut to remove all the footage of animal violence in it and the 2001 Vipco DVD version (now re-titled "The Mountain of the Cannibal God") featured a longer and more complete U.S. print, although a further two minutes and six seconds were cut by the BBFC to remove genuine footage of a snake fighting a bird and a snake killing and eating a live monkey.
