All i remember from this movie is the big cooking pot :)

After reading the book Haggard - the impression of watching a movie awful.

[GESSO217]

LOL, It's as bad as you think it is. I read somewhere that Sharon Stone was not Proud of doing those films. I can see why. Being such a talented actress she should've been given a chance to show that instead of being nothing more than Comic relef.

don't you just love American film killers like this hes British you would be sick if we made superman with a English accent so stop stealing are fiction and fact an that u-boat film (alternative history where the British empire actually existed as the American empire) and who can forget the patriot which is based on dreams of what it can be best described as since it was a treaty that ended the war not you winning you where severely beaten in military terms despite us not being too bothered

[MrJuno6]

Film sucks big time. worth watching only for Sharon Stone in those shorts.

[MrSherlockWatson]

Even though this movie was ripping off Indiana Jones, Indiana Jones was partially based off this story itself.

[GESSO217]

@MrSherlockWatson Yeah there's a lot of simularities between this movie and the Indy films, But maybe both are based on the same material.

this is on t.v right now OMG this is shit its soooooooo bad the acting is appalling there is one part of film where sharon stone is flying a plane its made agaiinst a screen and you can see her shadow its like it was not edited at all to iron out the mistakes fuck me i wont be watching this again in a hurry

[GESSO217]

@candyfloss362 This one is a little cheesey I have to agree, but it's still 100% better than it's sequal "Alan Quartermain and the Lost City of Gold". Now THAT is bad.

[candyfloss362]

@GESSO217 i have just watched the trailer for that movie so i can safely say i have not had the pleasure of that one and by the looks of it thank god for small mercies

[CameronS654321]

I remember when I was about 6 I used to always borrow this movie from the video store near my house and I used to love this. I haven't seen this in ages.

[antrix25]

to me richard chamberlain will always be allan quartermain

MY, God to call this a bad movie,a silly movie is to give bad silly movies a bad name!! It's not even so much that it is a blatent rip off of the Indiana jones pictures, down to Goldsmiths score, but you would not mind as much if it was good! This film is incredibley cheap! And every character is an absolute cartoon! They actually shot this one and it's Sequel back to back! God they should live so long.

[RTSMonkeyMan]

@panfar70 Goldsmith didn't score the Indiana Jones pictures, John Williams did. :)

And every character is an absolute cartoon! They actually shot this one and it's Sequel back to back! God they should live so long.

[GWStreicher]

Boy - they really don't make 'em like they used to. I'd like to see someone make an adventure film with the cheer and warmth of the 1980s.

[togglesblock]

King Solomons mines 1985 version was terrible Richard Chamberlin and Sharon Stones performance was embarrassing to say the least, and the director should have been horse whipped.

[kjsh987]

great bizarre movie. i have seen the hallmark version and i think that is better than ths in quality but i am not saying that this was bad

[kev3d]

Hmmm, opens conspicuously on the anniversary of JFK's assassination. Coincidence? I think not.

[sitrukkurtis]

Look for Boomshika on 0:16

[Sinjinator]

It takes Richard Chamberlain! And Elvira plays a mostly silent role... great freakin movie, great ads too.

[WSW55]

Chamberlain needs to do a new one a la Ford and the latest INDIANA JONES one.

[JMtheCONQUERER]

that actually wouldnt be a bad idea. as long as they kept the same theme that jerry goldsmith wrote for it. That theme is what pretty much breathed the life into the whole allan quatermain franchise and made it better than all the other versions. Jerry Goldsmith did for allan quatermain what john williams did for indiana jones.
