The ending is totally unsurprising if you've seen Deodato's earlier movie, other than for a hilarious moment in which our heroes build a solid, sturdy and large raft in under TWENTY SECONDS. Meanwhile, our bespectacled friend witnesses one of the other no-name Asian guys getting chewed to pieces by a crocodile (leaving a cheesy severed arm floating down the river) whilst he himself grows more and more ill from a festering leg wound - hey, just like Ivan Rassimov! Eventually the gang escape - no surprise there - and a chase and battle with the natives ensues in the jungle as they head for the river. Afterwards he gets stuck in a cage and urinated on whilst a minor tribe member has his private parts crushed with a rock after waving his manhood at the female captive - scenes which again bear direct traces of Deodato's film. Barry and his would-be girlfriend immediately get themselves captured by a native tribe, who strip our lithe hero to his undies in a direct rip from CANNIBAL. Pretty soon afterwards they steer their homemade raft into white-water rapids and are unsurprisingly washed up later on the shore, separated. The first native tribe our heroes encounter is a pacifist one that spends a lot of time dancing and jabbering in a OTT ritual as our leads solemnly commentate on the action (racism runs rampant in this movie, be warned). All that and he gets to karate-chop the cannibals, too (only in Indonesia)! Prima is in his element as the nimble hero, his acting ranging from carefree happiness to elation to a surprisingly display of sorrow and despair when imprisoned.

Finally, we have the first major leading role in a horror movie for Barry Prima, later to become a national hero after appearing in the WARRIOR films. Second up is the Ivan Rassimov-wannabe guy who is actually pretty funny as he wanders around the jungle and eats poisonous fruit. The first up is some Indonesian chick who obviously has a no-nudity clause in her contract, seeing as when her clothes are torn-off, a bikini-style strip of cloth is left around her chest. Here's where we get introduced to the lead characters, supposedly college students, but more like mature students. This same wide-lens camera keeps popping up throughout the movie at most inopportune moments, often turning the quite serious happenings into something bizarre and crazy. Opening to the unusual strains of Kraftwerk on the soundtrack, director Sisworo Gautama Putra treats us to the rather disorientating sight of a wide-lens camera zooming around the jungle in frenzied flight. The only let down, really, is that it's not as insane or crazy as some other Indonesian horror films I've seen (QUEEN OF BLACK MAGIC for instance) but of course it still has its share of crazy stuff. Deodato's film is obviously the superior of the two but PRIMITIVES is not without merits, and it's pretty amusing to watch the various rip-off bits taking place.
Even the characters look the same, right down to an Indonesian guy with glasses replacing Ivan Rassimov. I imagine that Ruggero Deodato's 1977 horror flick CANNIBAL (aka JUNGLE HOLOCAUST) was a pretty big hit in Indonesia because it instantly spawned this remake, which is a scene-by-scene copy replacing the Amazon jungle with Indonesia and the Italian actors with Indonesian ones.

The guide reluctantly agrees, and they are all soon separated in a raft accident.
However, the students say the one tribe they visit isn't primitive enough, and they want to find some really savages, and to locate the legendary cannibal tribe supposedly living in the area. Three students, Tommy, Rita, and Robert, and their guides head into the jungle to study primitive tribes separated from civilization.
