Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 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. Rated: 2/10 Aug 31, 2020 Full Review Richard Freedman Newhouse News Service A camped up ripoff of the Raiders of The Lost Ark and Romancing The Stone movies.

Peter P 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/06/24 Full Review Steve D If you can get passed the racism (which is helped by the ridiculous tone) you will have a lot of fun. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/29/23 Full Review S S This movie doesn't get its due it's really good actually it's so underrated it's so much fun to watch it's a gem i hidden classic movie you can watch over and over never get tired it's such a fun movie and a lot of talented actors in it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/22 Full Review robert p What a horrible movie this was, that's why I am giving it *1 & 1/2* stars! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member 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? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
