hello all,
i remember watching this film (in my childhood) in the early 70's, can anyone give me the title, id like to try and find it if possible.

film was based in Africa. Several white charecters are captured by a tribe of cannibals. they cover many of them in mud and begin to roast them.....(its not quiet as corny as it sounds! its also not a horror flick)-, they offer one person a chance to escape-he has to throw a spear and then run, once he reaches the spear the village chase him-most of the rest of the movie is then spent with him being chased across the african plain's...sorry thats all i can remember

i have some recollection that the main characters real name was quite a strange one , although that probably doesnt help anyone.

thanks you to anyone who can help jog my memory.
