Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn a February 2012 interview with the National Public Radio program "On the Media," the movie's creator, John Alan Schwartz, said that the scene that purports to show real tourists in Egypt killing a monkey and eating its brains was really filmed in a Moroccan restaurant in the US using Schwartz's friends as actors, foam mallets covered in concrete, a model monkey with a prosthetic breakaway head, a trick table, and cauliflower covered in theater blood for the brains. During that day of filming, the cauliflower had become rancid, but the actors decided to go along so it could add to their performances. The woman spitting it out wasn't scripted, neither was the laughter from the rest of the partakers.
- GoofsThe narrator refers to "the country of Africa". Africa is a continent.
- Quotes
Dr. Francis B. Gröss: Perhaps the greatest disaster of all is one that man has created himself.lf nature doesn't destroy the environment, it is very possible that the human being will.

Featured review
I first watched this film when I was twelve. I had nightmares for weeks. Nightmares about dying, of course. This film left such an indelible impression in my mind that eight years later, when presented with the option to purchase this movie, I jumped at the chance. After the second viewing I no longer was frightened by the film itself. The thing that scared me was the fact that I paid 15 bucks for it. I somehow felt guilty, disgusted with myself. But I watched the whole thing. No matter how bad I felt, I just kept on watching. Granted, just because you can't turn yourself away from what you're watching, doesn't always mean that what you're watching is quality entertainment. This, by no means, is quality entertainment. This is bottom of the barrel, no doubt about that. But it's still in my collection and it's hands-down, the most borrowed film out of my library.
