He has terrific on-screen chemistry with the beautiful Sharon Stone, who is sexy, and funny as Jessie Huston, his love interest and fellow adventurer. John Rhys-Davies plays Dogati, and as usual, is just sheer magic. He and Richard had the same great on-screen chemistry in Shogun, were Rhys-Davies played the wonderful Rodrigues. This movie has wonderful actors, is full of action, and has an exciting musical score that greatly complements this delightful spoof.

This is a fun, fast-paced, funny and most fantastic movie. I found it refreshingly hilarious! Richard Chamberlain fans will thrill to watch their favorite actor as a comedian. In addition to all the other roles he has played to perfection, he can also nail comedy, and in this film he delivers some very funny lines, in his dry, understated style. Half the fun for me, was watching him play against type, and laughing myself sick over his superb performance. He was not only funny, but the man was simply amazing, with the physical prowess of a 25 year old. He jumped over roof tops, swung from buildings and ropes, fell down waterfalls and mountains, hopped on and off and under moving trains, chased after a run-a-way airplane, and he was 51 years old when he made this film! He must have been exhausted. He is physically gorgeous as always, looking 20 years younger than his actual age.
You will laugh and laugh as Allan and Jessie search for her explorer father in Africa. The rugged adventurer and his flighty companion, fight Nazi's, cannibals, ferocious wild animals, and reptiles, get captured by the upside down tree dwellers, thrown into a crock pot, saved from a pit of crocks, maneuver run-a-way airplanes and vehicles, and finally fall in love. You will thrill to accompany them on this exciting trek through the jungle, as they find danger, adventure, excitement and romance. But best of all, you will be glad you are aboard, when they finally discover KING SOLOMON'S MINES.
