King of the Lost World, King Kong in the Amazon

Stunning stewardess Gloria (Eliza Swenson) is having a bad day. Her plane crashed in the Amazon and she's stuck in a tree.  The sultry air hostess screams for help and King Kong wanders over and eats her.  So sad. Alas, this is the epic story that inspired "King Kong" and "Jurassic Park," given to us by the Syfy Channel and The Asylum. Stewardess-sploitation, monsters, cheese and beef galore, and a nuke. Today we look at 2004's "King of the Lost World," directed by Leigh Scott.

The airplane crashes in the Amazon and a bunch of survivors are on the beach.  These include hot stewardesses and other babes and hunks. Ed (Jeff Denton) and John (Rhett Giles) emerge as leaders. The duo and other survivors figure on trekking into the jungle to look for the rest of the airplane, activate the radio, and call for help. Pretty waitress Dana (Christine Rosenberg) and babe photographer Rita (Sarah Lieving) will join them with stewardess Natalie (Amanda Ward). Also joining them is a government spook, Challenger (Bruce Boxleitner). They'll find a lot of airplanes.  Apparently hundreds of airplanes have wrecked in this section of the jungle.  On their way to their own plane, the survivor team will be attacked by giant spiders, man-eating plants, and weird natives. 

Ed will take sole lead of the group when John is killed by a giant scorpion...happens. Now Dana gets real sweet on Ed. Wait!  Our spook friend seems to know something. Then the weird natives capture our survivors, strip the women, feel them up, and grope them. Ed is prepped to be sacrificed to bird monsters. Steve Railsback enters the plot as a lunatic. Then we meet the chief's (Chris Anglin) harem, all sultry stewardesses from crashed flights. The other stewardesses, now tribeswomen, grope and lick Dana and force her and Natalie to become part of the harem.  Remember King Kong?  He's back.  Now King Kong and the bird monsters prep for an attack.  

Can Dana, now a harem wife, save her new boyfriend, Ed?  What is the secret Challenger knows?  Did the weird natives make a big mistake offering a sacrifice to the bird monsters instead of King Kong?  This might be one of the finest films ever made.  The cheese and beef factor are high and so is the ickiness of many of the monsters.  Then of course, King Kong is in this film. For pure fun, gratuitous monster and sweaty babe in the jungle action, see "King of the Lost World."
