OPINION:
After the great success of the first two Indiana Jones movies, the Cannon could not miss the opportunity to build on that success and put before the camera to one of its stars action to make the hero of yore in search of treasure. He was accompanied by another actor in series B as Louise Gossett Jr. was given the reply to the protagonist none other than Chuck Norris . The script, which at first seems to be opting for the search of a golden temple bullshit capital ends up being a guy with the patch that you want to sacrifice a girl to be walking on fire. Story that fails to stay afloat but are determined to get jokes and humor for which Mr. Mustache bully becomes comic in one day. Despite their lack grace is this the best of the film. Do not want to imagine the "story" in a serious tone. The film goes more or less, or rather, from least to worst. It is an assortment of films from Norris himself with its inevitable sequences with fights and punches adventures in the jungle and a buddy movie so popular in the 80's but in a fairly porous quality.
The chemistry between the two protagonists is acceptable, although you can do with a certain smile to discover two of the actors who made their mark in the 80's in their own way in the video clubs. For movie lovers mamporreras the time Norris was a star of action films cumbersome, most with Cannon as producer. Louise Gosett Jr, besides the inevitable "Officer and a Gentleman" , who can not remember the saga "Iron Eagle" with a colorful history of the Reagan era. A kid who is going to rescue his father imprisoned in a country with a wicked piece of hunting and rescues him by himself, well with the help of Gossett Jr, he demonstrates to the U.S. Armed Forces who is the master and had to admit . Silly eighties that had three parts.
