Camp and cult fans may get a few laughs from this tongue-in-cheek version of the classic H. Rider Haggard adventure novel from '80s low-budget outfit Cannon Films. Richard Chamberlain gives a pun-pron...( read more

MCT:September 3, 2008If you haven't seen this then you've missed out. This film has everything that makes an adventure movie; a tough guy in a hat and a catchy theme song. Good stuff. Oh and also, this movie is about the fictional character Alan Quatermain, for those of you who know who that is.

Now here's a fun movie! It starts off ridiculous and keeps you in a state of wonder as you shake your head in disbelief as to WHY some of the scenes and actions are taking place. The film is probably more suited towards younger viewers in terms of entertainment; but the movie is still fun to watch if you're not taking it seriously.

MCT:May 13, 2008Allan Quatermain (Richard Chamberlain) is hired by Jesse Huston (Sharon Stone) to locate her father and find the legendary King Solomon's mines.
A sequel called Allan Quatermain And The Lost City Of Gold was made a year later. -
MCT:May 2, 2008
Vastly superior to its rather lackluster sequel ALLAN QUATERMAIN AND THER LOST CITY OF GOLD (which was actually filmed back-to-back with this production), this entertaining and fun loving tribute (or some might say rip-off) of the Indiana Jones movies benefits (unlike its follow-up) by the sure hand and capable direction of veteran J. Lee Thompson (of the original GUNS OF NAVARONE) and a suberp supporting cast that includes the always entertaining and eminently watchable John Rhys-Davies and Herbert Lom as the two main villains, a Turkish slaver and a World War I era German Colonel respectively.
Based very loosely on the classic H. Rider Haggard adventure novel of the same name, this movie features Richard Chamberlain as adventurer Allan Quaterman who is recruited by the sexy and gorgeous Jessie Huston (played by a pre-famous Sharon Stone) to rescue her father who has fallen into the villains hands in attempt to locate the fabled King Solomon's mines.
What follows is a fast paced, fun and thoroughly entertaining adventure with some eye popping stunts and some truly cheesy special effects.
No matter though, this movie promises high adventure and entertaining escapism. Movie fans will have fun spotting references to other movies of the 1980s from the Indiana Jones adventures to 1983s FOOTLOOSE and that movies game of unintentional chicken.
I was one of the (evidently) few who actually made it to see this movie in the theaters on its release in 1985 and one who instantly picked it up on VHS. Of course when the DVD was released in February of this year I was there to instantly pick it up. Still fun after almost 20 years. -

MCT:April 28, 2007What happend? A remake of The Lost Ark where the SFX guy left and J. Lee Thompson got doped? Really entertaining in a wierd way that I can't explain.

Pre-Basic-Instinct-Stone made some wonderous films! Total cash in effort that manages to muster enough spiirt to carry itself through. You won;t hate it, but you won;t be in a hurry to see it again.

Doesn't this movie involve the hero being almost boiled alive by cannibals and people being killed by molten gold? Or was that the sequel?
-
MCT:March 2, 2007If you liked Indiana Jones you'll love king Solomon's Mines. This is about Alan Quartermaine so League of Extraordinary Gentleman will be easier to understand for ya.

This is one of those films you'd catch on HBO on Saturday in the middle of the afternoon. I have fond, if not slightly fuzzy memories of this movie. For some reason, my most vivid memory is the end credits.
