_**Fun sequel with a great cast doesn’t have the same magic**_Quatermain & Jesse (Richard Chamberlain & Sharon Stone) are about to travel to America to get married when Allan learns that his brother is missing after an expedition. They team-up with a powerful warrior (James Earl Jones) and a spiritual con (Richard Donner) to journey to remote east Africa where they find a lost city of gold. Henry Silva shows up as a malevolent priest while Cassandra Peterson (aka Elivra) plays a dark queen.
“Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold” (1986) is the sequel to “King Solomon’s Mines” (1985), both knock-offs of “Raiders of the Lost Ark” (1981), but it lacks the magic that made “King Solomon’s Mines” an exhilarating ‘B’ adventure. It has the same fun tone, Chamberlain & Stone, excellent locations and colorful or cheesy props/effects/sets, but it has a different director and cowriter. It’s just nowhere near as compelling and is sometimes tedious.
But the notable cast looks like they had fun and you can’t go wrong with the magnificent Cassandra Peterson, who has no lines; she just stands around looking great, albeit angry and mean. Stunning blonde Aileen Marson is also on hand in her one-and-only role.
The film runs 1 hour, 39 minutes and was shot in Oudtshoorn, South Africa; Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls); and Laird International Studio, Culver City, California (e.g. river-cave scenes).
GRADE: C
Heaven Help Us!Directed by Gary Nelson, Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold re-teams Richard Chamberlain and Sharon Stone from J. Lee Thomson’s 1985 version of King Solomon’s Mines, with equally bad results. Based on the creations of H. Rider Haggard, the emergence of Allan Quatermain onto the screen again was a desperate attempt to grab the coat tails of one Indiana Jones’ success. Given how bad King Solomon’s Mines (1985) was, you would be forgiven for wondering how on earth a sequel was given the go ahead, but this is explained by the fact both films were filmed back to back. More’s the pity.
Plot has Quartermain and his lady Jesse Huston off on some adventure to find Quartermain’s lost brother at the fabled Lost City of Gold. Along for the ride are Umslopogaas (James Earl Jones) an axe wielding warrior, Swarma (Robert Donner) a nutty spiritual guru, and some other no mark plebians. What they find is a whole bunch of trouble via creatures and a despotic high priest (Henry Silva).
Action is badly staged, effects work poor, while acting and dialogue is woefully inept (Chamberlain cheese sandwich/Stone shrill/Silva and Donner embarrassing). The best “Z” grade movies have fans and entertain because they know what they are, unfortunately this doesn’t, it genuinely thinks it’s a great adventure movie. Even the musical score is insulting, credited to Michael Linn, he basically just hacks into Jerry Goldsmith’s score for “Mines”, and produces a piece that is just two chords away from John Barry’s iconic Indiana Jones music. As for the racist undertones…
Bad film making. Period. 2/10
Fool’s gold
Richard Chamberlain. Sharon Stone? James Earl Jones?? Cassandra “Elvira” Peterson??? Filled with laughs–some even intentional–and thrills–such as when the title card reads “The End”. From Cannon Films, the house that Chuck Norris built. Strictly for those who enjoy such B-movie schlock, as I do.Fun facts!… and opinions.
* Martin Rabbett, who played Quatermain’s brother in the film, was actually Chamberlain’s partner at the time (and for many years after). I didn’t know this while watching the movie, but when the two finally meet up in the third act it’s pretty clear Chamberlain has more chemistry with Rebbett than Sharon Stone.
* The music is essentially cut and pasted from the score Jerry Goldsmith did for the previous film, King Solomon’s Mines. It’s pretty obviously so at times, but the music itself is fantastic.
* It’s more than a little painful to watch a dignified actor like James Earl Jones have to slum his way through thankless roles like these.
* Speaking of JEJ, during one scene his character is being mauled by a lion, and I’m %97.8 sure that his too obvious stunt double is Patti LaBelle.
* There’s actually a character billed as “Toothless Arab”. Funny thing is, that’s like maybe only the 10th most politically incorrect thing in this movie.
