Trivia
The Dereks, John and Bo, had a high level of control on this picture. Together, they acted as star, producer, director, and Cinematographer. This was a reaction to their dissatisfaction with the direction of Bo's career after A Change of Seasons (1980), her follow-up to 10 (1979), in which Bo became a big star overnight. See more »Goofs

Wonderful action-packed adventure full of delightful campy humor, sexy romance, and Oscar-caliber performances...HA! HA! had you going there didn't I? Come on folks! This is a Bo Derek film...Bo Bo Bolero Bo. The only reason to see one of her soft-core nudie romps is to see her romp nudie. John should have shot it as an X-rated film. Bo can't act, but she's always cute (and when isn't a perfect 10 worth watching?) For extra fun try a double feature with Tanya Roberts' "Sheena: Queen of the Jungle."
