gigantopithicus, bigfoot, sasquatch, apeman, creature film with heart!
much like 'missing link' creature designers Rick Baker and Rob Bottin once again do outstanding work to make this average exploitation film into a standout piece of monster/creature/guy in apesuit art! The gorilla is just simply the best suit ever accumplished - only Harry (Henderson's) rivals it for genious!
if you have a liking for randy apes - naked women (Vanity is insane) and heros that are in fact worse than the villans - then this movie will rattle your senses! ....bestiality with heart! crazy!
Has to be owned!
...anyone who denies its brilliance is soft in the head!
Score: 5

A young Vanity - nude - weird movie
This is a very bizarre movie. Some Ape creature becomes friends with Vanity on an island where only she and her lover are. Her lover becomes jealous and then later the Ape creature and he battle over Vanity. Appears to be a dream. Vanity is cute and nude in the movie, but she hardly looks like herself. Very odd movie, if you are looking for Vanity nude, you are better off getting a copy of 52 pickup a better movie or Action Jackson. She shows skin in both. Here she does have a full frontal scene, but it is not all that long anyway.
Score: 2

coming clean
Playboy asks why this movie hasn't become a cult classic. I'll tell you.
First of all, the painting on the cover does not look like the actual woman in the film. One or two of the reviewers liked the way she looks. Okay, to each his own, but don't be surprised if you find her unattractive.
Second, the nudity. No, she is NOT nude all the time. Nor half the time. Nor a fourth of the time. Nor... She's nude a few seconds now and then. No more than any other movie.
Third, the movie is only 79 minutes, and the first four of them are skippable.
The movie is mostly a man fighting with a Neanderthal survivor. Both behave more childishly than primitively. You'll see more convincing behavior in Clan of the Cave Bear.
There are NO explicit sex scenes. Also, no effective sex scenes of any kind. Even the fight scenes are disappointing.
Oh, and did I mention that the dialogue is a joke?
Bottom line: for almost every viewer, this movie will not be worth watching even once.

Wish I would have paid attention
Vanity! Nude! Bizarre story! Sounds perfect! What more could one want? How about a decent transfer to DVD?! Had I been paying attention, I would have noticed this DVD was released by Jef Films, which is known for its shoddy and cheap quality. I have other DVDs from Jef Films, which I purchased because those films are available only from that company, and the quality is just as bad. It appears they transfer these films from old VHS copies, which renders the video quality nearly impossible to watch. It is painfully obvious the company is only interested in making money and doesn't care at all about issuing a quality product. Vanity: 5/5 stars; the movie itself: 2.5/5 stars, the DVD: 1/5 stars.
