"An action packed adventure, full of laughs and heroics."
Africa connoisseur Allan Quartermain is known for being tough but charming at the same time. The man par excellence to embark on an adventurous expedition in search of King Solomon's legendary mines. He could have expected that he would be attacked by all kinds of unsavory types. But he could not have imagined in his wildest dreams that he would also be left with a young woman as special as Jessie Huston.

ah. After fifteen minutes of watching, I started counting how often I found something stupid, annoying, bad, cliché or stolen. Very high score. And so badly edited too!
Half a star above the minimum for Sharon Stone, who unfortunately also had to do a lot of screams and whose pants got shorter and shorter as the film progressed. That says enough about the level of the entire film (and then we leave the racism aside for a moment).
Pulp. For real.

This is undoubtedly a monstrosity of a movie. Cannon's action movies often pass, but this awful Indiana Jones ripoff misses the mark on every level. Flat characters, bad editing, cramped acting, abominable special effects, exhausting humor. And in the cooking pot you can see the plastic vegetables floating 
. Chamberlain a bland decoction of Indy. Sharon Stone is unbearable here and acts super-forced all the time. What Harrison Ford and Kate Capshaw were able to accomplish with Harrison Ford and Kate Capshaw just doesn't work here. There are two positive points: Goldsmith's beautiful score and the scenes filmed on the spot, which actually manage to arouse adventurous exoticism. For the rest, this is a horror for (almost) every film lover.

Nice film in which an adventurer becomes saddled with a woman in search of the mines of a dead king. Not only the music is almost literally a copy of the Indiana Jones movies. An extremely thin story. But the whole thing is adventurous and, above all, action-packed. The humor and the collaboration between Richard Chamberlain and Sharon Stone is a bit forced, but also entertaining.
