I need help remembering the name of some stupid movie that I saw as a kid.


Many years ago (20+), KTLA Los Angeles (Ch.5) would show this movie about some woman who survived a plane crash. I dont remember very many details, but I what I do remember is very memorable. This woman managed to survive the crash by staying in her seat. She is the sole survivor of a plane crash. She lands in a jungle. I dont recall very much dialog. While unconscious, many differnent insects manage to deposit eggs which eventually become larvae. And the poor woman has to deal with being covered in "boil" type mounds on her body with insects sprouting from them.

I've tried google, etc., but my search terms dont come up with anything useful.

Help ATOT.


Edit:

Its gotta be this movie:

Link to IMDB "Amazon Death Trap" aka Miracles still happen

Was it about a woman named Juliane Koepcke?

On Christmas Eve of 1971, a commercial airliner over Peru was struck by lightning and broke up during a storm. A teenage girl, Juliane Koepcke, fell two miles, still strapped in her seat. She survived, but her ordeal had just begun. Despite a broken collarbone and other injuries, she walked for 11 days through the Amazon rain forest and finally found help. Her story has been the subject of two films, the most recent being a Werner Herzog documentary called Wings of Hope.

Bingo! This is the story alright. I now remember the cheap special effects concerning the lightning and the amazing fall with the woman still strapped to her seat. Thanks for the extra google search terms.

Ripped from your first link:



The Mark Johnstone Version of "Twas the Night Before Christmas"

"Twas the week before Christmas, and boy was it neat.
We had been on vacation, and my wife was in heat.
The doors were all bolted, the phone off the hook,
It was time for some nooky, by hook or by crook.
Momma in her teddy and I in the nvde,
Had just hit the bedroom and reached for the lube.
When out from my privates there arose such a cry,
That I lost my boner and thought I would die.
Up to the window I sprang like a very big flea,
The pain was so bad it stung like a bee.
I ran down the hall past the 'putter I'd built,
And looked in a mirror, clean up to the hilt.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But an airhole in my scr0tum - I said to her....Dear.
With two holes now seen, half out of my sock,
It's time for a phone call, right now to a Doc.
The first one I called, said I'd just lost my mind.
So I paid him his worth ... it was only a dime.
The next one I called said it was just a small mite
Sure as I'm speaking, he was high as a kite
All I had left was to lay there in pain
A cry in the night with nothing to gain
Then down the chimney came a big red guy
St. Nick I told him, it must be a fly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old prick,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of my d1ck.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had more problems to dread
Whoa Sh1thead he said - you are such a Putz,
Stop whining right now or I'll cut off your nvts.
A phone number he gave and a big bag of ice
He said call this Doc and he will be nice
He sprang up the chimney, to his team gave a whistle
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim boy "Don't b1tch or don't pout"
"Merry Christmas to all and be glad they are all out!"
