Viewing Notes
Better than I remembered for an Indiana Jones knock-off (right down to the score!). I found it amusing that Sharon Stone’s khaki shorts got mysteriously shortened during the final third of the movie. Obviously low budget but there were still some impressive scenes, especially the on-location stuff with tons of extras, that made it feel more expensive than it was.
