"Police Commissioner Taro: This is Jungle - lush, green, alive with incredible growth - as young as day, as old as time. I, Taro, Police Commissioner of Itman County, which borders the Amazonas River, know it as well as any man will ever know it. Isn't it beautiful? But I have also learned that beauty can be venomous, deadly, something terrifying, something of prehistoric ages when monstrous superstitions ruled the minds of men, something that has haunted the world for millions of years rose out of that verdant labyrinth. Let me tell you how the jungle itself took the law into its own hands. This was Van Gelder Manor, built to stand against the searing sun, built to shelter generations of Van Gelders, it also has become prey to the powers of the jungle, that terrifying strength that arose to punish a man for his crimes."

"Dr. Viet: White people shouldn't live too long in the jungle. Brings out their bad side, their jealousies and impatience."

"A Blonde Beauty and a Savage Beast... alone in the Jungle!"

"Her marriage vows were more than fulfilled!"

"Her clothes torn away, screaming in terror!"
