The documentary is a particularly harsh and grim mondo feature that had an english language friendly release a couple of years back as "The Real Cannibal Holocaust"<br /><br />Though this footage found it's way into the later documentary you mention before ultimately falling into the hands of Mattei. <br /><br />Indeed, if memory serves, Guinea ama has not been referenced as the source of the footage but it is where it originally comes from. <br /><br />I do have a copy of Guinea ama and have reviewed it in the past. It was a bit of a chore to watch- at times tedious, at times grim, occasional forays into ethnocentrism and homophobia as gay "westernised" tribal men are shown wearing colourful frilly shirts and holding hands in a segment clearly designed for cheap laughs at their expense. <br /><br />It also features some unpleasant piercing and circumcision practices- most of which seem to involve lopping off pieces with sharpened bamboo and a pebble.You can't unsee stuff like this.<br /><br />While Mattei may have used other sources for some of the stock footage the majority is from Guinea ama including the famous ceremony footage such as the guys with the large clay masks that was badly integrated into the movie :)<br /><br />Details of the One 7 dvd release are here:<br /><br />http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/49477/real-cannibal-holocaust-the/<br />Nigel Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928346913206094978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-819372552985537908.post-14235833748654204032012-10-04T08:24:23.036+02:002012-10-04T08:24:23.036+02:00I also fast-forward through the documentary footag...I also fast-forward through the documentary footage :)Alex B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07724782489291826158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-819372552985537908.post-45983456850964139532012-10-04T06:42:37.274+02:002012-10-04T06:42:37.274+02:00Patrick, it's my pleasure!

I must admit I always fast forward during that sequence"<br /><br />Never heard about that film, I can understand why you use the fast forward.<br /><br /><br />"It's a trasherpiece and it's one helluva trasherpiece"<br /><br />Stuff like that can be awesome.....good review ninja, thanks for the tip.<br /><br />MegatronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
