Safari spoof that's more silly than sexy

Tacky adventure-comedy that feels more dated than the 1940s comic strip it's based off.
Former Bond girl Maud Adams plays the villain, a Nazi femme fatale, and she's probably the best part. Similar to a Bond villain, she has a gaggle of useless henchmen at her disposal. Flash Gordon star Sam Jones plays the hero who's basically a corny Indiana Jones clone except not as smart. There's also a pair of stuffy British gentlemen that react to everything with a stiff upper lip. It's kind of funny that there's all these side characters running around in the jungle but I can sort of understand it since the title character herself is not very interesting. But Kirsten Hughes is still pretty and loses her clothes a lot, so there's that at least.
Shot in Mauritius, the movie is so small in scale …
