| Penn Jillette |
Linda Blair actually only spends about ten minutes on screen, this exploitation film was originally a Spanish-Italian exploitation film that was re-edited with the new Blair footage inserted periodically to make it appeal to American audiences. The story (originally starring exotic European sex symbol Ajita Wilson and Anthony Steffen) is set within the horrific confines of a South American women's labor camp that forces inmates to slave in an emerald mine. Daly (Blair) is a former slave, who gets revenge upon the camp owner, a successful American gem broker. After a long search, she finally finds him, corners him in an office and while holding him at gunpoint with an Uzi, begins describing in detail the ordeal she and other inmates were forced to endure. This flashback segment is comprised of the original film.
Savage Island is three movies. The Linda Blair/Leon Askin scenes at the beginning and at the end; the Escape From Hell footage; and the Orinoco footage. The footage from the two European prison movies is all spliced together so that I had no idea who was killing whom, and why some people seem to be coming back after they are dead. 2 women start fighting dressed, in the next shot they are naked (because a lesbian scene in-between has been omitted). In one shot it is night, in the next shot it is day. In one shot the prisoners are in a circle, in the next shot they have formed lines. There are two different prison wardens, and the same female guard gets killed twice.
