Storyline

A Latin American country on the Pacific seaboard. A coup d'état fails. Jacques and his fellow mercenaries must get out of there as fast as they can. He takes with him Monica, a beautiful prostitute with a taste for adventure. Having cheated their shady paymasters out of some valuable paintings, their only possible means of escape is by hijacking a bus, fleeing across desert and jungle, and rafting down the river to the Atlantic. Nature is hostile, but much wilder opponents await them!

User Reviews

Perhaps the worst French movie I ever seen in my life.

'Les oreilles sur le dos' has a script who was probably written by a feeble-minded 7 years old boy. The far-fetched story about a bunch of art thieves fugitives crossing the desert and Venezuelan jungle is really bad. Only beautiful Beatrice Dalle, the same of Betty Blue 37° (1986) tried to do a good performance. I can't understand how a supposedly intelligent crew of Europeans movie makers went to Guyana and Venezuela to waste their time, money and talent.
