Line 10:
* The triumph of the white man (possibly the only brand of horror films where guys actually have a fighting chance, provided, of course, that they are white). This triumph can come in the form of successfully escaping the jungle or establishing a positive relationship with the savages, using gizmos and measured hand gestures.
* Once contact has been established between the outsiders the natives, always because the outsiders have been captured through an act of stupidity, the outsiders are forced to witness an assortment of rituals conducted by the natives, all of which involve blood and something or someone being cut open. The lucky victim is generally not of any specific type; human victims whether male or female, civilized or savage, have all gone under the spear in these films. These sequences will often also include the protagonist
* The civilized characters can be distinguished from one another, on a purely visual level. The savages are a collective mentality and rarely is one elevated to any position of significance in the film (the most notable exception would be Me Me Lai's character in ''[[Last Cannibal World]]'').
* [[Artistic Licence]]: When tribes who clearly ''never'' practice cannibalism are portrayed as doing so.
* [[Black Dude Dies First|Civilized non-white characters die first and never lightly.]]
