Purely Joyful Movie!
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Beautiful, moving film.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
HUNT FOR THE GOLDEN SCORPION is one of the very last Indiana Jones-style jungle adventure films made by the Italians, and like most Italian B-movies made at the turn of the 1990s, it's completely dreadful. The almost entire lack of money doesn't help; the budget extended to some authentic locations but that's about it. Poor old Umberto Lenzi directs with none of the style he displayed thirty, twenty, even ten years previously. An unknown cast work through a lacklustre script in which David Brandon (of STAGE FRIGHT fame) is jailed by bad guys, leading the bland hero to attempt a rescue. A few RAMBO-style village assaults and fire fights punctuate the tedium, but the main plot is never convincing and the whole thing is dragged out to the nth degree.
