Gungala: The Black Panther Girl

Ruggero Deodato (Cannibal Holocaust) was brought in to replace Romano Ferrara as director for this sequel to Ferrara's 1967 adventure fantasy Gungala la Vergine della Giungla. Kirsten Svanhold (aka "Kitty Swan") returns as the beautiful, savage Gungala, who reigns over the jungle and communes with the animals. This time she battles mad Arabs who want to take over the African continent and falls in love with a member of an expedition sent to find her. Not bad for its type, but full of the usual racist stereotypes and bwana lore. Micaela Cendali Pignatelli co-stars with Angelo Infanti, Tiffany Anderson, and Giancarlo Sisti. Pat Starke sings the theme song.
