First comment?


I find it curious that there are no other comments on this entertaining movie. I saw it on late-nite American UHF back in the late 60s early 70s and was captivated. A successor in my mind to the fabulous serials and sometimes features like Lost Secret of the Incas--big bore adventure with no particular reason for existing except to show human nature in extraordinary circumstances.

It was only years later as I tried to pick up the pieces of what I'd seen and who made it (pre-Internet, natch) that I began to see how it came to be.

This morning I was researching Old Shatterhand online and discovered that altho the Barker part is not literally Old Shatterhand, it's close enough for me.

Someone (TBS?) aired it during the first Gulf War, I think, and The Wife also enjoyed it. Later I bought a tape. Guess I need to get after copies of the other two Kara Ben Nemsi movies--one of these days.

Glad you like it. For me the Karl May series of the 60ies has a special flair which was never achived by any other movie since.
