I watched it as a kid in the early 90's but the style was a bit older. It was
on VHS.

The title was something like: Ray/Rei the hero? of the jungle? but it was a
dubbed version so I'm not sure. The protagonist is Ray? a young man. He has
black hair and wears yellow furs. I don't remember the plot but he travels
with his friends in a prehistoric world.

I remember two scenes:

Somewhere in the middle of the movie - they are on a raft on a lake and under
them is a ginormous dinosaur. I guess it emerges from the water causing them
to ride the wave and scream.

Towards the very end - there is a village where a volcano is about to erupt so
they want to sacrifice a girl to it: that would be the friend of the
protagonist and the granddaughter of the old woman who wants to sacrifice her.

Beware Spoilers!

> Volcano erupts, girl gets killed somehow I think in a fight, someone lays
> the girl down on the ground with the volcano with flowing lava in the
> background, old woman is praying to the volcano. And my friend's mom turned
> off the TV saying "you shouldn't watch films like this" (well, too late) and
> I never knew the end.

The old woman had long white hair & purple robes?, girl had long brown hair.

Please tell me what this is, I cannot find it anywhere.
