 Part animal (which Part?) July 30, 2006
B. Chandler (Arlington, Texas)
While on Safari Phillip Ames (Michael Shannon) and Betsy Ames (Nancy Paul) the parents of little Janet Ames (Kathryn Gant) are dispatched. So Janet is raised by a local female shaman and allowed to run around wild (Kirsty Lindsay). Eventually she grows accoutrements and becomes a physic witch. To better fit her persona Janet becomes Sheena (Tanya Roberts.)
Sheena happy to play with her animal friends that she is in psychic link with; her world is disrupted when the shaman is falsely accused of murdering a prominent leader. Naturally she has to do something about this which lands her squarely in the bull's eye of the real culprits. She enlists the help of a not so ept news man in her endeavor to set things right.
The film is based on the legendary Sheena of comic book fame. And Tanya Roberts can challenge Vanna White for The best looking statue.
Is three stars too many? June 22, 2004
I have seen this movie a couple of times in the past 20 years. The first time I saw it back in '85, I actually liked it (THEN) I just bought this movie because it reminded me of something out of my childhood, So after 20 years here are my thoughts now that time has moved on...The acting in the movie is HORRIBLE. The Plot is beyond bad, and I would think offensive to tribes in Africa. However, like some of the other reviewers The Music, and the Sceneary in Kenya is MAGNIFICIENT, (Including Tanya's body, I admit that, and I am gay!!!) Just too bad there is a silly storyline. ONLY if this movie was Tanya Roberts Riding on the back of Zebras NUDE doing a documentary, I really think that would of fared better. This is one movie where I feel it really is a mixed bag.... The movie has some goodies to offer, just do not expect a whole lot.
Silly, But Good Mind Candy June 21, 2004
S. Glowacki (Baldwinsville, NY United States)
I remember watching this when it first aired on HBO YEARS ago and being strangely facinated by it. Don't expect any A movie acting or plot - it's straigt B movie fare all the way, but fun I'll admit. What gets an A is the heart-achingly beautiful music score at the end of the film. If anyone, ANYONE knows how to obtain a copy of that please post your information here!!!
 Great looking DVD December 15, 2003
T. Dimock (Ventura, CA United States)
Okay, you don't watch this for a magnificient plot nor review it like you would a epic blockbuster. That said, someone at Columbia Pictures must really love this film because the digital transfer is gorgeous, except for the opening credits (which start a quarter hour into the movie) and closing credits: these scenes have a lot of "dirt" on the print. Other than those, it is a flawless transfer. You get anamorphic widescreen on one side and full screen on the other. Subtitles in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese(!), Korean(!), & Thai(!!),(evidently the film is big in the Far East). The music score is beautiful and far beyond what you'd expect for this kind of movie. Yes, there is a cheesy model helicopter crash and the horse is painted like a zebra; however, a great looking DVD for a "guilty pleasure" movie. Check your brain at the door and enjoy it.
Tanya Roberts and Ted Wass played it to perfection! December 3, 2003

This is a beautiful film, a love story that breaks hearts. How many times in a movie do two people fall desperately in love but....well I won't write anything else except that it was the most touching and beautiful ending since "Casablanca". You'll see why. The music and score is very important to me in films and this one is wonderful. The last shot in the film (about 5 minutes long and all one take) is one of the most elegant and graceful exits I've ever viewed. See if you can take your eyes off it. Even though the plot has been filmed to death over and over thoughout the years the director and his cast, in my opinion, really made this film stand out. I just wish Sony, which owns this film would release a dvd with some "real" extras in it. Craig
