King Solomon's Mines Reviews
Now Here Is A Movie That Knows How To Kid Around
The all around sense of good fun in this adventure movie is simply wonderful!! now the kind of fun we are talking about here is clearly on the side of the ridiculous - very funny and amiable, and it works very well in the hands of Richard Chamberlain and the rest of the entire cast.
Richard Chamberlain is just so cool in this movie - off the chain - just hysterical. his comedic sense of acting here is truly marvelous. and Sharon Stone is top-notch as a no-nonsense but somewhat ditsy blonde. they really work together very well.
A note of caution here - the sequel to this movie 'Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold' is not nearly as good, despite a few good moments in the first half of it.

FUN - FAST-PACED - FUNNY- FANTASTIC!
This movie is hilarious! Richard Chamberlain fans will thrill to watch their favorite actor as a comedian. In addition, to all the other roles, he has played to perfection, he can nail comedy, and in this film he delivers some very funny lines, in his dry, understated style. Half the fun for me, was watching him play against type, and laughing myself sick over his superb performance. He was not only funny, but the man was simply amazing, with the physical prowess of a 25 year old. He jumped over roof tops, swung from buildings and ropes, fell down waterfalls and mountains, hopped on and off and under moving trains, chased after a run-a-way airplane, and he was 51 years old when he made this film! He must have been exhausted. He is physically gorgeous as always, looking 20 years younger than his actual age.
He has terrific on-screen chemistry with Sharon Stone, who is sexy, and funny as Jessie Huston, his love interest and fellow adventurer. John Rhys-Davies plays Dogati, and as usual, is just sheer magic. He and Richard had the same great on-screen chemistry in Shogun, where Rhys-Davies played the wonderful Rodrigues. This movie has wonderful actors, is fun, funny, fast-paced, action packed, and has an exciting musical score, that greatly complements this delightful spoof.
You will laugh and laugh as Allen and Jessie fight Nazi's, cannibals, ferocious wild animals and reptiles, get captured by the upside down tree dwellers, thrown into a crock pot, saved from a pit of crocks, maneuver run-a-way airplanes and vehicles, and finally fall in love. They find danger, adventure, excitement, romance, and best of all they find KING SOLOMON'S MINE. If only the director of THE INDIANA JONES SERIES, would have cast the wonderful, versatile, Richard Chamberlain instead of Harrison Ford. Just think about it.....what if?
