So to give you an idea of just how bad these movies are I will list a few problems we saw.
- Crap moving in and out of the frame in front of actors speaking.
- Dialog that would never be spoken by rational adults.
- The guy who played Pygar the ornithanthrope from Barbarella who still can't act his way out of a robin's nest.
- Richard Harris screams 86% of his lines.
- Naked Bo gets painted white by several naked native girls and you really don't care. (How they achieved this feat is still a mystery to me.)
- Bo gets more time rolling around topless with an orangutan than with Tarzan WHO IS IN THE SAME SCENE!
- Continuity breaks by the wheelbarrow. e.g. the amazing growing loin cloth
- Costumes in a turn-of-the-century period piece that are actually from the 1980's, and look like it, right down to the belted pantsuit.
- Concept: You can overcome trauma from getting gored by a bull that makes you impotent by having your ersatz girlfriend give you the thumbs up sign.
- Concept: It is possible to SUDDENLY fall fast asleep while in the midst of active, sweaty foreplay (involving honey) with a VERY horny 20 year old woman who is naked.
- Concept: Even if you were born and raised in England, you have an American accent, or a nonspecific Arabian accent, and nobody notices, EVEN if you have an Arabian accent, look, name, and character, and you pronounce the word Sheik; "SHAKE".
- George Kennedy looking as if he was saying, "And I was in Guns of Navronne!"
