...the film’s mild success, at the outset, is due almost entirely to the irresistibly personable efforts of its two stars...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 13, 2024

A pesky sort of sequel, not so bad that one reviles it for good but sadly just good enough that once a decade or so you will find yourself giving it another chance and wasting another two hours finding out that it really is simple mediocre entertainment.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Mar 15, 2021

Death and peril are entirely unbelievable, while amorous bickering feels forced and inauthentic.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 6, 2020

It's a fairly amusing bit of escapist fluff-as long as you remember to hit the "off" button on your political consciousness when the theatre starts to darken.

[The script] seems to consist of shouted dialogue and descriptions of action scenes. Lewis Teague's direction doesn't help; the extreme closeups seem aimed for the cassette audience.

| Jul 23, 2019

Director Lewis Teague uses the frame the way a magician uses a hat or a handkerchief: surprises are always popping into it, or out of its shadows.

Turns unnecessarily nasty with its racist depiction of Arabs and a barrage of racist jokes.

Reunited and it feels so bad.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 2, 2011

OK, but weak sequel to the first Douglas-Turner outing.

If there's ever a good example as to why sequels are rarely as good as the original, it is The Jewel of the Nile.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 15, 2006

While it's definitely not an awful little adventure flick, Jewel of the Nile stands as a pretty good indication as to why the guys never reunited for a third adventure.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 13, 2006

Jewel of the Nile doesn't quite reach the heights of Romancing the Stone, but it's still a lot of fun and better than most sequels.
