Quotes
[first lines]
Tom Burton: At last I was coming to my destination. My mission was strange for me. Most of my life had been spent hunting wild animals. Suddenly I found myself hunting for a human being - a boy - a boy of the jungle. My only clue: a rumor that had traveled thousands of miles. A rumor that persisted in spite of scoffing and ridicule. But there I was, the best animal hunter from America, hunting a boy. I felt I couldn't complain - I was being paid very well. And after all, money was the only important thing in my life.

Tarzan look-a-like

Basic story line is a hunter has been hired to locate a young male who had gone missing with his parents many years earlier in the deep dark jungle. The parents had died, but there were reports of a young male being sceen hanging out with monkeys. Sound familiar. The hunter happens to bring with him a tiger that he had captured in India - so you can guess where this will go.

The movie runs for just over an hour, so one would think they would be able to fill in the time with a good story. Unfortunately, a lot of the movie was filled with fun time with cheeky monkeys, playing with animals, stock footage, animal fights and a crazy gorilla, though the man in the gorilla suit was not too bad.

If you have an hour to kill, and you do not mind a cross between Tarzan and The Jungle Book; pull up a chair, and turn on YouTube. Make sure you have some snacks.
