sheena: queen of the jungle

last night i watched "sheena," the movie version from 1984. whoo boy, buck-o. that was some trashy gar-bage. at first it seemed so brill, but that quickly became a sorry, sorry ass lie.

"Also of interest, apparently there was someone else who auditioned for the role but did not get it, her name was Sybil. Although I think Tanya is far better looking, I have heard rumors that there was a lot more going on under the covers (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) that helped Tanya land the role." wrote one fan on her webpage.

good lord could that really be true? it would make sense considering the movie's attempts at being soft core porn. of course the nominal word there is "attempts." naked sheena? yes. naked vic casey? yes. two naked people getting hot and heavy? no. goddamm but it was agravating. stupid cock tease of a movie.

on the other hand dialogue such as the following cannot be discounted from the pro side:

"I'm done for, babe. And all I can think to say is--Shit."

i bet vic casey was wishing he'd gotten sheena to put him on fire rather than receiving "fatal degree burns."
