a5c7b9f00b When Joan Wilder is abducted while on a trip along the Nile, her boyfriend, Jack Colton, and pal Ralph rush to rescue her and retrieve a fabled jewel. This is the sequel to "Romancing the Stone" where Jack and Joan have their yacht and easy life, but are gradually getting bored with each other and this way of life. Joan accepts an invitation to go to some middle eastern countrya guest of the sheik, but there she is abducted and finds her- self involved with the "jewel". Jack decides to rescue her with his new partner Ralph. They all go from one adventure to another… What is the story of this "jewel"? Romancing the Stone was a brilliant adventure film, and this sequel could have been justgood if they put the tiniest bit more kick into it. Basically Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) and Jack Colton (Michael Douglas, also producing) are together relaxing, but Joan gets bored quite quickly, and accepts an invitation for another adventure, to find the Jewel of the Nile. When Joan ends up captured by the bad guys, led by Omar (Spiros Focás), the only person Jack can turn to his old nemesis and half-good half-bad friend Ralph (Danny DeVito), who is also eager to get the Jewel. It turns out that the Jewel is in fact a holy man (played by Avner Eisenberg), a little silly because I want to see real treasure, but never mind, there are some good chase sequences, and in the end Jack and Joan get married, and Ralph gets something valuable. Also starring Randall Edwin NelsonKarak, Samuel Ross WilliamsArak, Timothy Daniel FurstSarak, Howard Jay PattersonBarak, Hamid FillaliRachid, Paul David MagidTarak and Holland TaylorGloria. Very, very slightly less exciting and fun compared to the first, but certainly a good film. Very good! I'm afraid I never read a romance novel, and there might be some links regarding this that I've missed. However, this movie is certainly too slow for a real action movie. However, some scenes are wonderful, and I like the fact that the Arabic is pretty authentic.
