This may go down in cinematic history as the first movie where a kick to the head ends a dogfight between monoplanes.

The gargantuan spider monster and mutant hippopotamus creature toward the climax are definitely something different.

a largely unimaginative adventure, albeit not one that isn't entirely without its entertaining qualities, even if said qualities are best appreciated with a heavy dose of irony

Rated: 2/4

King Solomon's Mines is frequently laughable. Nothing about the film is convincingly done.

King Solomon's Mines is a terrible rehash of Indiana Jones with visual effects that are so awful, even for the 80s. The entire movie is laughably bad and gets one wondering if it's money laundering.

Indiana Jones had to be inspired by the books this is based on. Since the Richard Chamberlain movies came out after Raiders of the Lost Ark you would think this was a B-Movie rip-off.
