'Dance of The Dwarfs' aka 'Jungle Heat'(1983) – Gus Trikonis.

Boozily priapic Helicopter pilot (Peter Fonda) reluctantly takes beautiful anthropologist (Deborah Raffin) into the boiling jungle inferno and are soon fearfully beset by diminutive, conspicuously carnivorous reptilian cryptids!!! Shot against the wild exotic fauna of the Philippines, this enjoyably rumbustious horror-inflected adventure succeeds due to the energetic lead's amiability, as one hopes that they might prevail against the bloody scourge of weirdly winged pygmies of death! 

Our squabbling adventurers fractiously find romance blossoming in the roiling crucible heat of their increasingly dangerous travails deep in the jungle! B-Horror fans should appreciate the rousing action, grimy synths, boisterous badinage, and sporadic outbursts of beastly bloodletting! For me, Dance of The Dwarfs frequently feels like a zesty, Gung ho, Golan-Globus'd 'Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison' and that's no bad thing at all! I really couldn't say if this film is particularly obscure, it kinda feels as if it might be, and, frankly, Dance of The Dwarfs deserves better, as sparky screen couple Raffin & Fonda are fun to watch, and happily, Trikonis keeps things dancing along nicely!
