A very 80s jungle adventure movie, that's a Christmas classic. Our lonely heroine heads to Columbia to save her kidnapped sister and meets the man of her dreams. Obviously cashed in on the popularity of Indiana Jones. The ending is truly awful.

I've seen this movie a few times. It is fine - nothing special. Kathleen survives well on some heel-hacked-off Italian shoes

There isn't a lot of substance to this movie, but it is tremendously entertaining and the leads give energetic and lively performances. Very well edited, good cinematography and a very enjoyable screenplay. Excellent pace. Great fun and suspense.

Lame. Liked it when i was a pre-pubescent brat, but i know realise how disposable it is... Bridget Jones & The Temple Of Doom would be a better movie.
