I had already written this once, but do not understand how everything was simply wiped away from your memory.
Anyways a bunch of tourists, mainly Americans including a boy of 10-11 years of African origin and a European priest are abandoned by plane on a desert island or anywhere deep inside Africa by vicious head-hunters or smugglers. The boy in search of a safehouse, enters a deserted mansion but finds it filled with lion prides, elephants and other wildlife; but when they all enter it later, they find it empty.
A gruff (American) truck driver, called (something like) Butch becomes their only hope of rescue along with a jungle lass in scanty garb who cannot speak human and rides elephants. In the end, the animals return and help the brave tourists to fight off the smugglers/head-hunters who for some reason have returned to loot/slaughter the former. Butch and small boy opt to remain on the island with jungle lass even after getting a free air ticket.
Finally I saw this movie in the 90s and the movie had an 80s quality picture and shooting technique.
Now kindly save my post and help me find the movie name!
Im Dschungel ist der Teufel los (1982)?

sorry the movie was in English, no dubbing involved.
please ignore my above comment, your description seems spot on! I had no idea it was a German movie, the dubbing was AAA+ rate then. No other movie I had come across comes even close to this description. I will post ‘Solved’ after watching it again, and may share another obscure movie description. Many thanks!
You’re welcome : ) I hope it’s the right answer.
yes this is the movie.
The problem is I cannot find English subtitle for the movie anywhere. Can any of you help me find one for the whole?
I can’t help with finding the movie, but I can mark it “Solved.”
no, I have found the movie and you can mark it Solved.
The fact is I do not understand German, so am looking for English subtitles. If any of you can find the same kindly post the link here.
