Covered in Gunge: Several people, especially the raped adulteress, get covered in mud over the course of the film. Chased by Angry Natives: And the natives have a DAMN good reason to chase the film crew down!. Captured by Cannibals: The entire second half of the film. Cannibal Film: Definitely the most famous example, and considered by many to be the best. Unlike the others, she is repeatedly filmed in compromising situations (naked, urinating, and having sex) by her friends, is gang raped (despite being the only one of the four to not rape the native girl, even trying halfheartedly to stop the attack), and is brutally beaten and stabbed to death. Butt-Monkey: Faye suffers a disproportionate amount of humiliation and violence throughout the film, despite being the least guilty of the four. And yet, our intrepid main characters proceed to spend the duration of their film doing exactly that. Bullying a Dragon / Villain Ball: When filming a warrior tribe that eats their conquered foes, what you don't want to do is go out of your way to piss them off. Brain Bleach: Essentially Professor Monroe's reaction after finishing the reels, when he orders them burned. However, if you're an outsider and you hurt one of their own, they'll see to it that you die a slow and painful death. While superstitious and not above murder, cannibalism, and rape themselves, they have laws and a moral code, supposedly even laws against premarital sex. Blue-and-Orange Morality: Seems to be the case with the tribes and with the Yanomamo in particular. Black Dude Dies First: Felipe, the South American guide, is the first member of Yates' team to die. Black Comedy: Munroe's expression after his effort to exchange the documentary footage for his own recorder gets him invited for dinner by the cannibals instead. Big Good: The Yamamano Tribe are the closest thing to this, just dont make them angry. They open fire on the raiders, driving them off, and thus earn themselves safe passage. Big Damn Heroes: Munroe and his company arrive in Yamamano territory just as a foraging party is being attacked by Shamatari raiders. Beware the Nice Ones: The Yamamano Tribe are friendly towards those who are respectful, even sharing food with and befriending travelers and it would be a VERY dumb idea to get on their bad side. Based on a Great Big Lie: The young documentarians' work is an in-universe example. Bait the Dog: Alan Yates and his film crew are introduced as nice and fun people, but they do not take long to show their true colors. Bad People Abuse Animals: The film crew kill plenty of animals during their trip (horrifyingly, the animal deaths were real). They only cross into this territory if the outsiders piss them off enough. Subverted with the Yamamano, who might appear to be this from an outsider's perspective, but they're actually quite reasonable and friendly to outsiders. Alan Yates and practically all the crew is this. Asshole Victim: The whole film crew had it coming. Are We Getting This?: And many of the catastrophes are caused by the filmmakers.
Apocalyptic Log: The first half of the film centers around finding the final footage of the film crew, the other half is the footage itself.In hindsight, that this was his first response to the situation says quite a bit about Yates. To stop the venom from spreading, Yates cuts Felipe's leg off. An Arm and a Leg: When Felipe puts his boot on without checking it, he's bitten by a snake.Anti-Villain: The cannibals in general do qualify, sure, they are people who eat other people, but they are just defending their home and their family from the despicable Yates and his crew.
#FILM CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST UNCUT FULL MOVIE#
All There in the Manual: The film's website contains tons of background information on the characters, most of which is not mentioned in the movie (or only mentioned briefly).Not only do he and the rest of his crew die horribly, the surviving reels show he was every bit the fraud his critics claimed.
The whole reason the original expedition happened was because he was in a snit about accusations that he was faking the scenarios in his footage and he was going to "prove" his critics wrong.
All for Nothing: Yates' attempt to regain his reputation.
An Aesop: "I wonder who the real cannibals are?". They care about each other and want to be left alone by outsiders, but are generally respectful so long as they're given the same respect in turn. Affably Evil: At the very worst, the Yanomamo are this.
