Recommended for MONDO fans. Others will probably be too disgusted to get through more than a few minutes of it. The 2nd official sequel to the original shockumentary, displaying cruel acts of animal poaching and violence, executions, and tribal slaughtering, all taking place on the African continent. Political correctness destroyed this film! This is the ONLY example of which I'm aware where the complete loss of a film is ignored by all media and critics. I saw this documentary on its original release in, I believe, 1967. It was very disturbing because of the miles of animal bones and bodies it displayed. It squarely placed the blame on both the whites AND the black native inhabitants. And the latter is, imho, the reason this film has disappeared. And this movie was made by Academy Award winners for an earlier foreign film, so it's not like it was just a throwaway cheepie. AFRICA ADDIO, more commonly known as AFRICA-BLOOD AND GUTS (so named by infamous exploitation distributor Jerry Gross), is undeniably masterful at holding one's attention. But it makes the sleaze and sensationalism of MONDO CANE seem like something produced by Walt Disney. This movie is insane. It switches randomly from horrifying to absurd to educational to beautiful to creepy to disturbing to ... well, you get the idea. Pumped up relentlessly by it's makers to be a serious, unbiased look at the political and social upheaval occurring in Africa during the late 60's, the movie is about as far from that as you can imagine. So many scenes are obviously fabricated outright or manipulated by the filmmakers, Once again, there's plenty of live animal slaughter (an elephant being speared to death is nearly impossible to sit through unflinchingly), much of which is perpetrated by so-called "hunters", who have the nerve to act proud at having shot an elephant to death, after it's already been exhausted by a helicopter taunting it.
