Plot: Based on the famous comic strip, Sheena chronicles the adventures of the title character (Tanya Roberts), a fair-skinned orphan taken in by a kindly Zambouli priestess (Elizabeth of Toro, a real-life African queen) in a remote African village and trained in the ancient arts of makeup and hairstyling. When American newsmen Fletcher (Donovan Scott) and Vic (Ted Wass) travel to her homeland to cover a story on Prince Otwani (Trevor Thomas), they uncover his plot to assassinate his brother, the reigning prince (a renowned field-goal kicker), and frame the priestess for the crime. Sheena joins forces with the newsmen to stop him and restore order to the country. Although Roberts looks great in a loincloth, her assets alone cannot save this turkey; one wonders where the jungle princess manages to plug in her blow-dryer. This ridiculous film was panned across the board upon its release and subsequently bombed. ~ Jeremy Beday, All Movie Guide

Yes, Ms. Robert's acting is terrible. Yes, it is sometimes unbeleivably corny, but I challenge you to watch and not enjoy it. It is one of those great feal good movies that lets your mind float along, enjoying a simple, moving story full of eye-candy and loveable characters. I am with Ms. Goldsmith. I would love to see a dvd in widescreen. Not only would I sign a partition, I would pay a premium price for a copy.

There are so many silly lines in this movie. I even took notes. Perhaps my favorite: "Your hair smells fantastic!" And I learned how to summon wild animals by giving myself a third-eye psychic noogie. Well, actually, I'm still working on that one. I guess I need to find a SHAY-person to show me how to do it right. But for all its weird wrongness, I liked this movie. Not to mention Sheena, whom I plan to find one day. I've made it my life's mission. For a Saturday afternoon matinee, this was just perfect. (thanks to JargonTalk for picking it off my wishlist.)

If you like a good Jungle flick, this isn't it. The only saving grace is Tanya Roberts showing her assests (nude) in the movie, so if you missed Roberts centerfold spread this dvd will do.

I Am (pause) Sheena
Added 5/5/2008

This will be my last review until I replace my 2000 computer with a new one as TWICE tonight, after I clicked on the preview button, my screen was closed and I was redirected to my Start page. This happened with The Long Shot and it happened now to Sheena. When I buy a new computer (mine still has 98SE and the old IE version) I will resume. I had taped this movie from AMC but they had censored out all the nude scenes which I thought was criminal on their part since, as an earlier reviewer pointed out, they were all innocent with nothing offensive about them, so I was glad to purchase the uncut version on a DVD. I liked how Tanya introduced herself to Vic and so used it as my title line. While Roberts, Wass, Elizabeth of Torro, the actor playing the prince and the actress playing his breathtaking cohort played their parts well, I had enjoyed Donovan Scott as George Hamilton's sidekick in Zorro, the Gay Blade and enjoyed him in Sheena. I thought the water diet in keeping with his character. How about when he came face to face with a male lion? This movie may deserve to be called campy, but I found the action scenes, the natives, and the unsuccessful attempt to kill Sheena (thwarted by the flamingos she summoned) exciting, and the growing relationship between Sheena and Vic pleasurable and funny. Yes, you have to wait until Sheena is grown before seeing the opening credits, but watching her emerge from a toddler to a young lady is worth the wait. I had to laugh when, after the Shaman brings forth an elephant, young Sheena brings forth a hedgehog. Later, watching her summon her African wildlife to rescue the shaman, you see her communication has developed. In the end, though they had fallen in love with each other, Vic returns to his home environment while Sheena remains with her animals. The score was divine and one of my favorites. Tanya sure looked fetching riding her "zebra" Marika bareback.
