About
If you enjoy goofy, old-school jungle quests and can laugh at bargain-bin thrills, this may scratch the itch; Not for you if you want polished action, sensitive portrayals, or tight pacing like The Jewel of the Nile.
Pros: campy adventure tone; colorful locations; occasional silly fun | Cons: cheap-looking effects; uneven acting; slow, tedious stretches
