John Rhys-Davies plays Roger Singh who receives a racial slur associating him with the black race, something the make-up people didn't exactly follow through with. It was less convincing than Sean Connery as a Russian. He is a bad guy and a poacher in a film where there is a fine line between poaching, legal hunting, and protecting your crops from elephants. Micah Hill (Lucy Gutteridge) is an American painter who has painted a rather dull painting with elephants that everyone raves about. She is going to meet with the president of South Africa and who knows. She is here on a visit which also includes Mark Smith played by Andrew Stevens, who got roles that David Hasselhoff turned down.
The movie goes into a contest of Mark vs. Roger, save the elephants etc.
I am sure the film had more meaning in its age than it does now. The writing was horrible. The opening scene had noticeably spliced footage of a buffalo running around and guys in trees. . . shades of Ed Wood.
Guide: F-bomb. Nudity (Lucy Gutteridge)
