Man From Deep River A.K.A. Deep River Savages, Sacrifice!, Il paese del sesso selvaggio (1972)

An Italian exploitation adventure directed by Umberto Lenzi, starring Ivan Rassimov.
A British man is captured by a rural tribe in Thailand. He has initial difficulties with them, but is accepted and marries one of the women.
A Man Called Horse 2 would be a better title. It was too similar to even merit a full review because I already did that for the film that this copied. So, what was different? I think there was more female nudity and I know there was more animal cruelty. Apparently, they really killed the animals in this. This had less creative use of camera-work and editing, with no compositing being used. The color balance was better too. Although there was lots of green, it didn't spill over onto non-green items like orange/brown did in A Man Called Horse. Audio was better too. I didn't hear distortion on any of the dialogue. The ending was also different. This was much clearer about the main character's plans for the future. This has a 5.5/10 on IMDB, 1/5 AllMovie rating, 2.5/5 user rating on AllMovie and 39% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. 41% average is not a good grade. I rate this o.k. because what it was copied from got adequate and this only made minor changes from the source material.
