My rating: 4/10
Will I watch it again? Noooooooo.
I'm keeping this brief. It's bad. The dubbing is careless and some of the actors sound bored. The synthesizer score is bland and uninspired. I'd go lower on the score but it's not in incompetent mess. This Italian knockoff of an Indiana Jones knockoff just doesn't do it for me at all. The more I think about it, the more the awful music hurts the film. It also doesn't help that I watched a crap VHS copy, either. RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981) is my favorite movie so I'm more likely to watch an adventure film like this for that reason alone. And being a fan of Gordon Mitchell's Sword & Sandal pictures from the 1960s. He plays a smaller role in this one but he does play a Nazi with a big mustache (in case your bag is tall, older Nazis with big mustaches). Skip this one altogether. I wish I had and I was only passively watching it while I worked in my office. Ugh.
