Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold
To cut costs, most of the score was material that had been composed by Jerry Goldsmith for the first movie, King Solomon's Mines (1985). Just a half-hour of original music was written, by Michael Linn.,Wires clearly visible when Quatermain jumps through window,[referring to seeing the lost city in the distance after exiting the caves, not as previously stated in reference to Sorais, the well-endowed evil queen, prancing about in her skimpy costume, who he had not met at that point in the film]
Allan Quatermain: I've seen some amazing things in my life, but never anything to compare with this.,Featured in Hagan Reviews: Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold (2014),"...makes Plan 9 from Outer Space look like Citizen Kane...(?)" C'mon. A bit of hyperbole now and then is OK but this comment is a bit overdone. Hey, I liked this movie. Dumb? Yep. Lousy script. Yep again. I would guess that H. Rider Haggard would be rolling in his grave at the considerably less than good job they did on this one. Is it dog? Likely. I think that not only James Earl Jones did it for the paycheck. I think Richard Chamberlain, Sharon Stone and Henry Silva did it for the paycheck too. But, then Chamberlain made the Towering Inferno, which was not only bad but boring, in which he played a bad guy. But, seriously folks, getting back to this amusing remake of King Solomon's Mines, you can't take this film seriously. Too bad, though. Being one who loves costume dramas, the script does leave some talented people with little to do but try and keep a straight face while stumbling through the action.
