Rating: 3.0
enjoyable Saturday matinee fare
Enjoyable adventure tale, obviously inspired by "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". ALLAN QUATERMAIN AND THE LOST CITY OF GOLD (1986) was the sequel to 1985's surprise summer hit "King Solomon's Mines", again starring Richard Chamberlain as the gun-ho adventurer Quatermain with a fresh, young Sharon Stone as his spunky fianceé Jessie.The story finds Allan on the trail of his missing brother. Along the way, Quatermain and Jessie stumble across the mythical lost city of Gold, ruled by a power-mad High Priest (a particularly hammy turn from Henry Silva); and two buxom princesses (Aileen Marson and Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson).The special effects have dated horribly and the plot makes NO sense whatsover. THE LOST CITY OF GOLD won't challenge your mind but it offers a solid 95 minutes of entertainment...remember it?Grab the hot buttered popcorn and settle back.
