"Romancing the stone" was certainly nowhere near any best Comedy List but it is an entertaining film that keeps you watching, silly as it is. "Jewel of the Nile" unfortunately is not in this category. In fact, it belongs to the category Wish I never watched it. Or, as in my case, Stop watching it before you get mad.
The Indiana Jones films imitated the old B-movies storyline with an A-budget. The two films with Michael Douglas try the same thing, alas, with a smaller budget and much weaker scripts. The Jewel film is just plain stupid and not funny enough to overlook it. No wonder Kathleen Turner tried to get out of her contract, she was forced to play unless she would have been sued by the studio.
