What movie is this?

Posted on 02/11/2014 2:38:31 PM PST by MNDude

I started seeing this at the beginning (middle?) of this movie, but I never finished seeing it, and I'm not sure of the name of the movie.

There are some westerners (British?) in some African country. The African's take one of the men, put feathers on him and spear him like a chicken.

Another man, they put clay on his body, and then bake him over a fire.

Then, I believe the third guy successfully kills several of the Africans and makes his escape.

Does anyone know what movie this is?

Are you sure it’s not a joke without a punch line? :-)

from above:
>>The Naked Prey is a 1966 adventure film starring Cornel Wilde, who also served as director and producer, which was released by Paramount Pictures. Set in the South African veldt, the film is a wilderness survival story loosely based on the experiences of explorer John Colter, who was pursued by Blackfoot warriors through frontier Wyoming in 1809. The screenplay earned Clint Johnson and Don Peters an Academy Award nomination.

>>Although the guide advises his client to be courteous, warning “they could give us a bad time,” the client refuses to offer anything and insults the natives, sending them away empty-handed. Later, the tribe returns en masse, captures the entire party, and puts the captives to death, using various cruel and unusual methods. One man is covered in clay and roasted alive on a spit; another is tarred, feathered, and trussed, then chased and killed by all the women. The man who insulted the tribesmen is trapped in a ring of fire with a poisonous snake.

Wilde’s character is spared until the last. He is stripped naked and given a brief head start, then chased by some of the tribesmen. With a combination of luck, cunning, and desperation, he eludes the warriors, killing several; finds food and water; and, after many days, returns to a colonial fort just seconds ahead of his pursuers. As he reaches safety, the man turns and exchanges a salute with their leader (Ken Gampu).

>>Although the story is violent, there are a few scenes of tenderness and humor after the man is rescued from drowning by an African girl, who travels with him for a day or two. As they walk along, he sings a nineteenth-century drinking song, “Little Brown Jug”, and the child sings a song in her own language; they then attempt to sing each other’s songs.
