10. Brutes and Savages (1978)
Ridiculous travelogue from narrator Arthur Davis - who sports a dashing Salmon pink safari suit and is quite possibly the least charismatic man in the Western hemisphere. The film has a reputation for being one of the silliest and lamest Mondo movies. I actually have this film in my collection. How it got there I shall never know. We are treated to all sorts of 'shock' footage. There are lengthy shots of African tribesmen engaging in rituals - including a rite of passage where a young man gets 'killed' by the most fake looking crocodile in cinema history. There are rubbery body parts a go go. There is also some supposed bestiality going on between Peruvian farmers and their llamas but it looks seriously faked. The film really is snigger a minute. The vast majority of it is re-enactions and simulations. I don't recommend it if you want a challenging, original Mondo but if you want to cream yourself laughing via the exploits of Uncle Arthur Davis, give this one a whirl as the most pathetic Mondo ever made.
