She is wearing those sandals when she pursues Otwani while riding on her zebra. After Otwani makes her fall from the zebra, she is barefoot again - the sandals disappear forever. more

Tanya Roberts should be enough, 19 March 2005
10/10
Author: Michael Paris (exile@att.net) from United States

OK, so this is purely a vehicle to show off, in my opinion, one of the hottest babes of the 80's - Tanya Roberts. But why must the whole movie be junk. They must have gone to some length to get all of the animals into this film, so that may explain the lack of budget for anything else. Like maybe some bad guys that can shoot straight. Watch it for Tanya and pretend the rest doesn't exist, it's hard, but try. The leading man is horrible. He is not even likable in the least. There was a nice Range Rover in the movie and the befuddle side kick of a camera man was slightly entertaining, but that was it. Why go all the way to Africa to film this schlock. Just put Tanya in some tight leather and let her be "Beastmaster" of Iowa or something.
