This is such a blatant rip-off of Indiana Jones that it is a downright parody. And a highly enjoyable parody it is. So many sequences, set pieces and even the music are so similar to a point where it makes one wonder how they got away with making this without getting sued. They even got John Rhys-Davies for a role! This is yet another piece of highly enjoyable Canon schlock, a studio that I cannot help but adore. Golan and Globus always tried to cash in on hot trends and along the way made some of my favorite cheesy, hugely entertaining pictures from the 80s. This doesn't rank up there with Over the Top, Bolero, Cobra, Bloodsport, Death Wish 3 and others but it is close and proves once again that Canon made some of the most entertaining movies from the 80s and I am on a mission to watch all of them!
