Does anyone remember a truly dreadful movie taking place in Hawaii or
some other tropical locale that dealt with moving trees that captured
a young miss? A few summers ago it was shown one late night I think
in a sarcatic manner (not the movie, but the announcer who tells a bit
about it between reels). If anyone has seen this, there will no longer
be any dispute on this subject. Besides the horror of the walking
tree (that might be the title) the islanders were not the usual thin,
dark-toned handsome types, but rather if you can imagine...Edward G
Robinson walking off the set of a gangster film, 5 o'clock shadow,
stripping down to tattered shorts, picking up a spear, but with a
special twist. Instead of the usual South Pacific broken English, it
was spoken (the same broken English) in Brooklyneese. Oh my, you have
to see it. So anyone remember this? Its better laughs than Attack of the
Killer Tomatoes.

Is that the one where one brother kills the other brother by stabbing him with a dagger in ther heart...they(tribe) bury him, and he grows into the horrible "TABONGA" tree monster with a dagger sticking out of his(It's) heart(trunk)...the TABONGA dies by having the dagger pushed deep by a bullet and falling into quicksand......not that one.........I thought I heard the last of that one, it's almost as bad as "Attack of the Killer Shrews........
