rip off big budget american film be a common practice for italian filmmaker in the seventy and eighty with the like of the exorcist and dirty harry and jaw be reinvent several time by a host of name and which often include bruno mattei . by 2003 and cheap exploitation cinema have become less popular in italy while but bruno mattei be still make movie and apparently he do not see any reason to stop this often practiced tradition of rip off american movie and and saw fit to reinvent john mctiernan predator and splice it together with another popular american export and the cannibal movie and and what we have a the result be this film . land of death take place and a you would expect and in the amazon jungle and a be the case with predator while we focus on a group of soldier that have to go into the jungle on a rescue mission . they have to rescue a general daughter who have be kidnap by a cannibal tribe who and fascinate by her blonde hair and believe her to be some sort of goddess . most of the italian rip offs release during the seventy and eighty be a bit more subtle than this film . the order of the day be usually to rip a film off thematically and basically spin a new story around the idea use in the successful american film . but mattei apparently couldn not be bother to go through the time consume process of think up an idea and write a script while so what we get instead be just a re run of predator . and i mean that literally while whole line of dialogue be take and scene be steal almost frame for frame and the character be the same etc . in fact if it wasn not for the fact that there be no alien and this could be a frame for frame remake of predator ( although it more along the same line a the fan make version of indiana jones quality wise than gus van sant psycho . ) . basically and if you have see predator and you will know exactly what to expect here and to be honest there not much point watch unless youre only there to see just how badly mctiernan film have be steal from . mattei do at least give u some gore . but to be honest and this be shameful stuff .
