Summary: Tanya Roberts and Ted Wass played it to perfection!
Review: This is a beautiful film, a love story that breaks hearts. How many times in a movie do two people fall desperately in love but....well I won't write anything else except that it was the most touching and beautiful ending since "Casablanca". You'll see why. The music and score is very important to me in films and this one is wonderful. The last shot in the film (about 5 minutes long and all one take) is one of the most elegant and graceful exits I've ever viewed. See if you can take your eyes off it. Even though the plot has been filmed to death over and over thoughout the years the director and his cast, in my opinion, really made this film stand out. I just wish Sony, which owns this film would release a dvd with some "real" extras in it. Craig

Summary: A Great Performance By The Shaman!!!!
Review: This movie would not be worth watching if it were not for the performance by the Shaman of the tribe, played by Elizabeth Bagaya. It was her performance that really stood out. She brought a feeling of authenticity. If I did not know better I would have thought she really was the Shaman of that tribe. Oh ya, Tanya Roberts was good too in this movie, but did not come close to matching the talent of Elizabeth Bagaya!!!! Job Well Done!!

Review: Well, it was maybe bad acting but I really liked the plot. A woman a part of the animals. I am looking very hard for the soundtrack to this movie. The music was great. If anyone can help please contact me.

Review: While I have never seen the movie, I'm responding to the request below for information on the music. The soundtrack is now out [on Sarabande, I believe--and my 3 stars is based on the music, not the visuals].

Summary: Just Imagine a Female Tarzan.
Review: With slight modifications, Sheena is basically just a female version of Tarzan (my all-time favorite fictional character). Everyone pretty much knows going in that the plot, dialogue and acting of a film like this will be of the "B" movie variety, and it is (kinda like Indiana Jones but a bit less compelling). What's magnificent, awe-inspiring and "A" level is the African locations (Kenya), the score and Tanya Roberts.

Seriously, if you're bored with your every-day locale this movie is the perfect antidote. It's virtually a two-hour tour of some of the most gorgeous African scenery you'll ever feast your eyes on. As for the score, it's pleasant and meditative; reminiscent of "Chariots of Fire." As for Tanya Roberts, what can I say? She's stunningly ravishing.

I was a little surprized by the PG rating because Sheena (Roberts) is shown TOTALLY nude on a number of occasions and prances around throughout the flick in a ridiculously skimpy leather bikini; but then it struck me that it's portrayed in an inoffensive way like Eve in Eden before the fall and the consequent awareness of evil. In other words, there's an almost child-like innocence and purity to Sheena even though she's a quite skilled warrior. I commend the film-makers for successfully capturing this quality. For this reason I personally don't feel the movie is inappropriate for kids, despite the nudity.

My rating of "4 Stars" reflects the happy medium between the 3-Star plot, dialogue & acting and the 5-Star African locations, score and Ms. Roberts.

Summary: SEXY!
Review: WOW! This movie is so stupit but is Tanya Roberts something else or what. This is a mans pleasure movie mostly, I watch this for Tanya Roberts. Just watching her bounce around on that zebra bareback is fun to watch. Its sexy how she talks to the animals, and I don't even know what the main point is I just watch it for sheena riding in the jungle.
