unique, fun adventure set in Jamaica (or some place very like Jamaica). the title character rescues two plane crash survivors from the swamp, and then hides them from the police, one of whom seeks help from the dreaded Obeahman.
the best thing about this movie to me is the locations and local people; this takes place out in the country, not in some sterile resort like most Hollywood-goes-to-the-islands type movies. and the Reggae music is awesome (I highly recommend the soundtrack).
See Countryman neutralize an alligator with a red sweater! see Countryman fight off some rude boys with a shovel! see Countryman run across half the island! see Countryman bribe a jail guard ('here money'!) see Countryman face down the dreaded Mosman!
see...Countryman!
good luck finding this obscure film (our local Blockbuster had it but now its gone). watch it with the more recent Might Quinn. warning; very little blood or violence or bad language (some of the patois is hard to understand) but a topless scene puts this in the R category.
