NGL, the 1950 movie is rather stunning.

King Solomon's Mines starring Patrick Swayze
Rewatching #PatrickSwayze in #KingSolomonsMines
An adventurous quest for a treasure hidden in King Solomon's mines, based on H. Rider Haggard's timeless tale with family.
Frame from the adventure film 'King Solomon's Mines' (1985). A shocked blonde woman (Sharon Stone as Jesse Huston) wearing a yellow shirt being held by a bearded dark haired man (Shaike Ophir as Kassam) wearing a fez from a decorated collar around her neck.

A moustached officer of the German imperial army (Herbert Lom as Colonel Bockner) wearing a pith helmet and a khaki uniform on the left and a bearded man (John Rhys-Davies as Dogati) wearing a fez on the right.
Frame from the adventure film 'King Solomon's Mines' (1985).

Frame from the adventure film 'King Solomon's Mines' (1985). Angled shot from above of a man hanging upside down tied to a rope by his feet over a pool of crocodiles that's being encircled by a horde of African tribesmen with spears.
🌍💎 Sure #KingSolomonsMines' depiction of Africa is awfully outdated and pure pulp but all the requirements for an entertaining adventure film are still there. A dashing charismatic lead, a beautiful damsel in distress, an excellent pair of dastardly foes and an epic quest to boot! 📽️🎞️
Poster for the adventure film 'King Solomon's Mines' (1985). Directed by J. Lee Thompson. Starring Richard Chamberlain, Sharon Stone, Herbert Lom, John Rhys-Davies and Ken Gampu. On the poster an illustration of a bearded brown haired man wearing a khaki safari uniform and a brimmed hat with a leopard skin band around it and holdng a sawed off double barreled shotgun in his right hand, there's a blonde woman holding a revolver in her right hand behind him on the left. Above them on the top left corner there's an illustration of a biplane. On the left edge of the poster there's an illustration of African natives, a snake wrapped around a tree trunk with skulls on it and two crocodiles. On the right there are illustrations of the film's foes on top of each other, on top a moustached German officer wearing a pith helmet and holding a lit cigarette in his left hand, a bearded dark haired Arab pointing a revolver with his left hand and an old wrinkled African witch wrapped in leopard skin. At the bottom illustrations of a train and golden treasures. On the top left corner the tagline "An All New Adventure". On the top right corner under Richard Chamberlain's name the tagline "Deep in the jungles of Africa, In a cave of death, Lies the treasure of...". Below the film's title the final tagline "The adventure of a lifetime".

🌍💎 Released #OnThisDay 40 years ago. Surprisingly decent epic adventure film from the producer duo Golan-Globus based on the H. Rider Haggard novel of the same name. Certainly one of the better Indiana Jones "rip-offs" out there. #KingSolomonsMines 📽️🎞️
Such excellent hairstyling available for Deborah Kerr in the middle of the jungle.

My friend just returned from two and a half weeks in Africa. Her pictures of the scenery and animals were gorgeous.

But if we're being completely honest I would still watch both JUST for Sharon Stone's sake alone. 🥰 Even though she's not given much else to do than play THE MOST stereotypical damsel in distress. 🫣 #KingSolomonsMines #AllanQuatermainAndTheLostCityOfGold 📽️🎞️

A blonde white woman (Sharon Stone as Jesse Huston) and a bearded white man (Richard Chamberlain as Allan Quatermain) standing on a platform on top of a massive clay pot standing on top of a fire.

Frame from the adventure film 'Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold' (1986). An expedition coming down stairs towards the camera to a passage surrounded by stone walls on both sides. Three spears pointing up from the ground on the foreground.
Admittedly the depiction of Africa is awfully outdated and pure pulp fiction so I do understand that neither #KingSolomonsMines or #AllanQuatermainAndTheLostCityOfGold are everyone's cup of tea this day and age. But I still think of them fondly like lot of cheese from my childhood. 📽️🎞️
Frame from the adventure film 'Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold' (1986). A bearded man (Richard Chamberlain as Allan Quatermain) wearing safari gear and a hat hanging on the side of a crevice holding a blonde woman (Sharon Stone as Jesse Huston). A corpse hanging from a hole on the side of the crevice in front of 'em.
Frame from the adventure film 'Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold' (1986). A blonde white man (Martin Rabbett as Robeson Quatermain) wearing a white shirt, a bearded white man (Richard Chamberlain as Allan Quatermain) wearing a green shirt, a blonde white woman (Sharon Stone as Jesse Huston) wearing a green shirt and a bearded African man (James Earl Jones as Umslopogaas) wearing a black tunic with a leopard skin draped over his left shoulder watching the back of an Indian man (Robert Donner as Swarma) wearing a turban.

Frame from the adventure film 'Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold' (1986). A bearded dark haired man (Richard Chamberlain as Allan Quatermain) in a sword fight with a black fuzzy haired high priest (Henry Silva as Agon) dressed in purple and gold robes.
#AllanQuatermainAndTheLostCityOfGold just pales in comparison to #KingSolomonsMines in pretty much every way, shape or form. Poorer story, special effects & action. Lot more comic relief heavy. Although James Earl Jones beats Ken Gampu as a sidekick solely with his charisma. 📽️🎞️
And let's face it, the film's main title composed by Jerry Goldsmith is brilliant. At least that bit that kicks in at 1:03. I get chills running up my spine every time I hear it. Such a roaring theme! www.youtube.com/watch?v=msL0... 🎶 #KingSolomonsMines 📽️🎞️

All the requirements for entertaining adventure are there. Dashing charismatic lead in Richard Chamberlain, beautiful damsel in distress in Sharon Stone and excellent pair of dastardly baddies in Herbert Lom and John Rhys-Davies and an epic quest to boot! #KingSolomonsMines 📽️🎞️

Personally speaking #KingSolomonsMines is surprisingly decent Indiana Jones-esque adventure film even if it was made with half of Raiders' and third of Temple of Doom's budget. And despite being a bit too front heavy action-wise. 📽️🎞️

Given Richard Chamberlain's passing I must remind people of the two Indiana Jones "ripoffs" from producer duo Golan-Globus. Sure the films are based on H. Rider Haggard's novels but it's blatantly obvious what was being emulated here. 🤫 #KingSolomonsMines #AllanQuatermainAndTheLostCityOfGold 📽️🎞️
I don’t think I’ve seen this version. #KingSolomonsMines

May be around for #TarzanTheApeMan later; we'll see. I see that the 1937 version of #KingSolomonsMines is on later. I can never read that title without saying it the way Neva Patterson says it in #DeskSet. #TCMParty
