497e39180f Fortune hunter Allan Quatermain teams up with a resourceful woman to help her find her missing father lost in the wilds of 1900s Africa while being pursued by hostile tribes and a rival German explorer. Allan Quatermain is a fortune hunter who is convinced by Jesse Huston to help her find her father, who's been lost somewhere in the African jungle during his last exploration. I loved this film because it is so bad… but I think it tries to be. It's very tongue and cheek. The effects are bad, the acting is humorous, however some of the locations are great and the soundtrack is tremendous. Every time I see it on television I am strangely drawn to it… like a car accident on the side of the road. It's so bad you can't help but look. At least it doesn't take itself seriously. Next to some of the Indiana Jones movies this is surely one of the best adventure movies ever made. I've seen this movie atleast 10 times. I just love adventure movies about finding treasure, fighting bad guys and discovering secrets, all while rescueing the babes. That's why I also liked The mummy(1999). Alot of people are saying that this movie tries to copy Indiana Jones, well that's just not possible because even though this movie was made after the first Indiana Jones, the book for this movie was written first. The book is actually considered a classic. Sure the movie may have been made because of Indiana Jones popularity but it's still a great movie. The second one just doesn't live up to this one, though it's still fun to watch. I wish that they would make the rest of the Allan Quarterman books into movies. It would really be great. They should really make more movies like this. It's just that it's so hard to make a good adventure/treasure hunting/fighting/shooting movie.
