reason an iguana is lounging around in the middle of the track and Rudy sees fit to crash his jeep into the nearest water feature. They get out and free their jeep only to end up straight back in the dirt again on the other side of the next bush, this time they seem to think that they can't free their vehicle so they save their provisions and carry on by foot. For some reason they have copious amounts of whiskey and little or no discernable refreshment of any other kind, don't ask me.

After a few National Geographic wildlife shots, we see Rudy and co walking through the rainforest. They stumble across a somewhat grisly looking fellow eating giant grubs sitting in a bush, don't ask me.

Rudy and the girls go to sleep and carry on in the morning. They soon come across a pair of natives who have been butchered by a big flying ball of mud with bamboo spikes, where they got bamboo from I will never know. Pat gets hysterical and Rudy gives her a slap or two. Then a pair of tatty looking commando types come out of the bush and introduce themselves as Mike (the very same) and Joe (no idea), Joe is pretty banged up and Mike spins Rudy and the gang a long tale of fantasy and heroism where he is the hero. Mike gets offered some whiskey but declines and has a whiff of some coke instead, naturally. Mike then tells them some cannibal horror stories about what has just happened to a chap they had with them and mentions something about eating genitals, before Joe can interrupt him and tell him to shut up. That night Gloria sits awake thinking about Mike saying "eating genitals" and Pat chats up Mike.

We are greeted with some more Nat Geo footage and find that Gloria is gone from the camp. Rudy hears her and finds her in a ditch with the small pig, Mike comes along and kills the pig for no reason and Rudy helps Gloria out of the small hole that she could easily have extricated herself from. The gang come across a village and enter it as it seems deserted and have an argument about getting out of the jungle asap. Joe falls over with a case of African jungle fever or something and they decide to inhabit one of the village huts.

Next we find Rudy walking past a few natives in the village and Pat and Mike are naked in one of the huts, don't ask me. For some reason Pat and Mike go outside (now with clothes on) and terrorise some native youngsters who have just caught a large turtle, not entirely sure why they do this and it doesn't have any bearing on the rest of the film.
