This mini-documentary was filmed during pre-production and on location during the shooting of the film, "Sheena" (1984). It starred Tanya Roberts as Sheena; Ted Wass as Vic Casey, a reporter; Donovan Scott as Fletch, his photographer/partner; Elizabeth of Toro as the Zambuli Shaman; France Zobda as Countess Zabda; and Trevor Thomas as Prince Otwani. It was filmed on location in Kenya and was directed by John Guillerman, who also directed "Tarzan's Greatest Adventure" (1959), "Tarzan Goes to India (1962), "The Towering Inferno (1974), and "King Kong" (1976).

One of the curious things about this film is that it features shots of Tanya Roberts wearing an animal skin outfit printed with a leopard-skin pattern that was not used in the film. This suggests that this particular footage was filmed early in the development stages of the project before final wardrobe decisions had been made.

"Sheena" was univerally panned by critics but has developed a cult following, principally because of the the film's tanned, muscular and scantily-clad leading lady.

This short promo was shown on HBO to help advertise a forthcoming screening of "Sheena". I am indebted to Gary Gerani, who runs the Tanya Roberts Group on Yahoo, for providing this obscure gem. Thanks Gary!
