weak-quel

The Jewel of the Nile (1985)

Directed by Lewis Teague this sequel stars Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito. Six months after the first film the honeymoon period is over for the relationship between Joan and Jack who get caught up in a new adventure.

The plot for this sequel seems fairly forced at times and relies too heavily on stereotypes of African culture. While there are some minor parts of character development for the most part this film is just cashing in on it's predecessor's success. Most of the time the special effects stand up but the final sequence has some ropey fire effects.


2/5
