Review of Jungle Manhunt

A pretty interesting little film, not the worst of the Jungle Jim series. Nothing that great, exciting, but it proposes something unusual, compared to the other ones, some touch, I can't explain without spoiling it. This football player character offers an unpredictable element. But the overall Jungle Jim franchise remains for the fans of this movie series. There are villains and that lousy but so charming lame atmosphere won't deceive those who follow those Sam Katzman productions movies. Lew Landers was not a new comer for this kind of plots, he is very comfortable for such cheap and agreeable junk. And, as also in MARK OF THE GORILLA, there is two giant lizards fighting each other; nearly the same fight !!!!! The villain meets the same fate in this film as in MARK OF THE GORILLA, and you also have here a fight between Jungle Jim and an octopuss in the river. Again like in MARK OF THE GORILLA. An octopuss in Africa !!!! That's why I like Jungle Jim.
