The rhino and the cavewomen
3 March 2002
David Merchant (Michael Lattimer), while big game hunting, stumbles through a time (or whatever) warp. He encounters a "prehistoric"-type situation, first with African tribesmen, then falls into a setting in which cavewoman-garbed-bikini-clad blond girls are enslaved by similarly clad dark-haired women, led by the evil Queen Kari, played by Martine Beswick. Men are also enslaved, kept inside caves. In fairness, there is a background to the enslavement based on misdeeds as well, but in any event, the slaves wait in "spiritual bondage" until the legend of the "White Rhino" is fulfilled. The best scenes are the dancing scenes with the blond slave girls, and most of all, a dance by the statuesque Kari as part of her attempt to take David as her lover and offer him part of the throne, altho in return for her effective subservience to him. He resists here advances, because of her evil, and because his girl is the slave girl Saria (Edina Ronay). There is, as might be expected, a rousing climax.
