OPINION:

If I had to put a sample copy of Indiana Jones, no doubt, I decided for this film. At the tender age of nine and I saw that even I enjoyed (at that age no distinction is made) of this crappy production of the Cannon in a movie theater. They had already gone through theaters two adventures of Dr. Jones as not to harness the pull of the aforementioned character. Chamberlain was so adventurous and Sharon Stone (yet was not known) of the girl of yore that accompanies the hero. A blonde girl who knows scream like Willie Scott (but you're not it, baby). This is a free adaptation, free, free from the novel by Henry Ridler Haggard changing times and even enemies. Well, yes, the new enemies were German but were not Nazis, we are in the First World War, or who thought they were, what was going to leave until Toht? Toht not, but John Rhys Davies (Sallah ) if it exits.

The success of "King Solomon's Mines" made Cannon rolled the sequel "Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold" which was a failure

With the passage of time and vision again, the truth is you can have a fun time watching the crap that includes, on around the scene of the feast of the tribe, who are preparing a giant pot with all kinds of dressing and vegetables to eat the main characters. Thank God, the tone of the film was not taken seriously and the thing with humor because otherwise there was no one to swallow the story. But as you always have to look for the positive side of everything, the soundtrack of Jerry Goldsmith (with theme reminiscent of Indiana Jones) is the most deserving of this production. The funny thing is that Mr. Goldsmith was nominated for Razzies (worst prize of the year) from 1985 to compose the soundtrack. was not spared Herbert Lom as supporting actor. None of them won the cat and took him to the water Rob Lowe and as Rocky IV soundtrack. In conclusion to say that Sharon Stone behaved like a spoiled child and no one could stand her, recognized this by herself. It was rumored that the crew peed in the pot where they got the players. And tell me, who would blame the poor Richard Chamberlain.

Scene cooker: Quatermain and Jess, ready to be eaten by a hungry tribe. Attention to the pot when it falls ... magically change shape!
