Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMost of the native cannibals in the movie were played by Brazilian military men on shore leave.
- GoofsWhen the six survivors of the plane crash have to wade through a shallow tributary of Amazon river, China (Andy Silas) is attacked by Piranhas who bite off the flesh of his right lower leg - Kevin (Michael Sopkiw) jumps to him and saves his life. Captain Heinz (Milton Rodríguez) kills the mutilated China - who from his point of view only represents an impediment to their escape from the jungle - by spearing him with his machete from back through thorax and throws him back into the water that one minute ago has been teemed with a hungry Piranha swarm, but: None of the killerfish shows up now to devour on the freshly killed body of China whose wounds are oozing the water with blood! To top this lack of continuity Kevin reproaching Heinz his brutal slaughter of China in a heavily (and understandably) hateful way is attacked physically by Heinz who wants to silence his accuser leading to the two men punching each other into the Piranha water (!) where they continue their fight by wrestling in the water (!) trying to drown each other! Having more luck than brains Kevin and Heinz are not attacked by any killerfish who must have disintegrated into thin air or moved on to a smarter movie shot on a higher budget....

Featured review
The story of "Massacre in Dinosaur Valley" (a.k.a. "Nudo e Selvaggio") is clichéd to the very last speck of celluloid. We have the not-so-invincible hero, the tropical version of Professor Challenger and his gorgeous daughter, the neurotic 'Nam vet and, to add gratuitous T&A, a photographer and two models. They go dig dinosaur bones on a forbidden area of Amazonas, but the plane crashes (it's one of them Star Trek-like crashes), leaving 'em stranded in the heart of the jungle. On the way to get back to civilization, they stumble on hungry alligators, piranhas, quicksand and a tribe of meat-eating Indians. But the real threat is an illegal mine where the sadistic China abuses his slave laborers. Everything's derivative, but at least it's well directed and full of gore and nudity. Sharp ears will recognize the score. It's the same one composed by Andrew Barrymore for Lamberto Bava's "Blastfighter" (also starring Sopkiw, also co-written by Dardano Sacchetti, who's not credited in "Massacre").
