Tawny Kitaen stars as Gwendoline, an innocent waif who treks off into the dangerous jungles of Southeast Asia to find her missing father, who had gone in hunting a unique species of butterfly. She, her nanny, and their guide all get captured by natives and get into all kinds of kinky and wacky scrapes. It's a low rent Indiana Jones wannabe with a lot of tits. Kinda fun but very campy with lots of cheeseball action.

The first hour or so is a mess - bizarre storytelling, incoherent characterization and really, really dumb dialogue - but still a lot of trashy mindless fun. However, the last half an hour when our heroes journey into the land of the Yik Yak - full of scantily clad female gladiators - is genuinely amazing and visually impressive like a glossier Peter Greenaway film, definitely worth slogging through the rest of the film for.
