Once again donning a fedora to match Indiana Jones, Chamberlain's Quatermain is the generic, wise-cracking, bearded, low-grade substitute for a real swashbuckler. Go to Full Review

Peter P 01/06/2024 Some parts are cheap and some of the characters too cartoonish. Overall it's still a fun adventure with some great locations and likable leads. It even has James Earl Jones, he just hasn't much to do here. See more Steve D 08/29/2023 If you can get passed the racism (which is helped by the ridiculous tone) you will have a lot of fun. See more 03/23/2022 Made back to back with King Solomon's Mines, this was directed by Gary Nelson, who also made Freaky Friday and The Black Hole, which is a pretty wild resume when you think about it. Speaking of King Solomon's Mines, Allan Quatermain (Richard Chamberlain) and Jesse Huston (Sharon Stone) plan to be married but Allan is restless. That's when a man is chased by two masked men into Allan's estate, only to be murdered later that night. Before that happens, he reveals to Allan that his brother Robeson (Martin Rabbett, Chamberlain's long-time partner) is still alive and has found the City of Gold. Along with Umslopogaas (James Earl Jones), Swarma (Robert Donner) and several Asari warriors, Allan and Jesse go on a new adventure where they discover the city, which leads to a battle between the good Queen Nyleptha (Aileen Marson) and the evil Agon (Henry Silva) and Queen Sorais (Cassandra Peterson, which is strange as she doesn't speak and at this point, Elvira was already well-known). In true Cannon fashion, most of the music for this movie is just Jerry Goldsmith's score for King Solomon's Mines along with only thirty minutes of original music by Michael Linn. And if that isn't Cannon, how about the fact that Golan and Globus had no contact with Nelson until he screened it for them. Golan was baffled by the film, thinking he was getting to see Invaders from Mars. He never admitted to his mistake and told Nelson that the film was unreleasable. Nelson then walked down a hall decorated with Cannon posters, all of which were in his opinion unreleasable too. See more 11/26/2021 What a horrible movie. I can't imagine who gave it the green light. What in the world is James Earl Jones doing in a movie like this? See more 04/06/2021 SO WONDERFUL!!! I RECOMMEND TO YOU... See more 03/04/2021 As bad as the first one is, this movie has accomplished the impossible, EVEN WORSE than the first one. The acting is non-existent, plot is ridiculous, action scenes are just horrendous. I’ve seen high school plays directed better than the final battle. As bad as the first one was, it at least had a semi-coherent plot and managed to show off Ms. Stone’s breathtaking beauty. This one Ms, Stone just looks straight up bored. She was cast aside without really giving anything to do. The first one had at least gave her a chance to show off her beautiful legs, this one nothing. If the first one is at least worth watching for Ms. Stone’s legs, this one just offers nothing. Worst movie I’ve ever seen. See more Read all reviews
