Andress doesn’t get painted white here. In one scene, she does get slathered with mud, but it’s more of a “sunless tanner bronze” color, and by the next scene it’s invisible.

…or is the white paint also copied from some earlier better cannibal movie?

This movie would be of no historical significance whatever except that I suspect the white-painted Bo Derek in Tarzan Of The Apes was inspired by Ursula Andress’s white paint here.

(I’ve only seen the cannibal-lite R edit…)

True. Again, I think it doesn’t get as much outrage as the monkey because of that “mammal solidarity” thing.

Maybe I’m callous, but I’d be far more disturbed by seeing the various reptiles get killed in the movie than by seeing a python eat a monkey. After all, a snake’s gotta eat and I’ve never been much a fan of monkeys.

That does not mean I’d be cheering on the monkey’s demise, mind, and certainly they didn’t really need to feed a monkey to a snake for their trashy little cannibal film. But it’s a lot more defensible than gutting some poor monitor lizard for the camera.

“it’s clumsy, soulless, and unengaging for any viewer with a higher aspiration in life than seeing Bond girl Ursula Andress undressed.”

I’m not following your argument. You want to run that by me again?
