I had consigned watching AQ AND THE LOST CITY OF GOLD to the back burner, but I think Henry Silva with Gene Simmons hair and Elvira as the queen has vaulted it to the forefront. I suppose when I saw AQ as a kid, I wasn't yet a Silva fan and didn't recognize Elvira. Wow.Sean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-8211448125164291162015-01-13T12:42:18.377-05:002015-01-13T12:42:18.377-05:00You are correct, the sequel is even more ridiculou...You are correct, the sequel is even more ridiculous, but you have to see it to believe it. I reviewed it a few months ago, favorably I might add! <br /><br />Here's the link in case your interested: <br /><br />http://filmconnoisseur.blogspot.com/2013/05/allan-quatermain-and-lost-city-of-gold.html<br /><br />Other movies that ripped off Indiana Jones: <br /><br />Treasure of the Four Crowns (1983)<br />Jake Speed (1986)<br />The Perils of Gwendolyn in the Land of the Yik Yak (1984)<br />Mother Lode (1982)<br />Firewalker (1986)<br />Yellow Hair and the Fortress of Gold (1984)<br />The Mines of Kilimanjaro (1986)<br />The Ark of the Sun God (1984)<br />Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-48155049463794717032014-12-20T11:49:58.431-05:002014-12-20T11:49:58.431-05:00J.D.,

And let's not forget the Tom Selleck/Wilford Brimley vehicle HIGH ROAD TO CHINA! <br /><br />Phil,<br />Glad to oblige!<br /><br />Francisco,<br />Yeah, this one, possibly more than any Cannon Film, felt like an Italian rip-off job. I appreciate that. I haven't seen AQ & THE LOST CITY OF GOLD in many years, but I remember it being somehow more ridiculous.Sean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-84287203171224277912014-12-15T12:39:18.079-05:002014-12-15T12:39:18.079-05:00To be honest, I have a blast with these cheap-o ca...To be honest, I have a blast with these cheap-o cannon movies, The Lost City of Gold is extremely laugh inducing and I love it for precisely that! I think the sequel is a bit more "original" but at the same time NOT. ha ha, these Cannon films always ripped off some other movie...in that sense, they feel like Italian rip offs.

Let's not forget the two TV shows that tried - TALES OF THE GOLDEN MONKEY and BRING 'EM BACK ALIVE, which I actually have a soft spot for both and which may be better than the Cannon ALLAN QUARTERMAIN movies.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.com
