ubik-11 and lemon_magic are pretty much spot-on in their description of this weird non-movie.
There sure are a lot of elephants.
It has been suggested that this movie was compiled from episodes of an unsold TV show, bulked out with stock footage. I find this hard to believe. Many of the newly-filmed scenes are merely setting up the stock footage. Take them out and there is barely enough left to fill a single 30 minute TV slot.
I wanted a copy of this movie to help complete my collection of Fifties SF movies (it's that flying saucer at the end that makes it qualify). If you have a similar obsession, I must sound a warning.
I bought Jungle Hell on a DVD double-bill with another Sabu movie - Savage Drums. Unusually for these obscure B movies, the print is nearly pristine. As I ground my way through the tedium at least I could enjoy the quality of the image. Finally I arrived at the astonishing ending.
Only to find it wasn't there!
Clearly, some versions of the movie had it and some didn't. This one didn't. I could live with that except that the DVD packaging clearly advertises the flying saucer.
I was robbed.
