The Jewel of the Nile
Directed by Lewis Teague
Joan Wilder is thrust back into a world of murder, chases, foreign intrigue... and love. This time out she's duped by a duplicitous Arab dignitary who brings her to the Middle East, ostensibly to write a book about his life. Of course, he's up to no good, and Joan is just another pawn in his wicked game. But Jack Colton and his sidekick Ralph show up to help our intrepid heroine save the day. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →Starting the day with the Jewel of the Nile Soundtrack. The movie might not be as good as Romancing the Stone, but this soundtrack is great.

neutral · AI labelView post →ALSO, while we are on the subject: 1. 80s is not a good look for this. 2. Lets talk about The Jewel of The Nile, and guys a really good movie. Mostly for this song which FUCKING SLAPS SO HARD. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n3s...
positive · AI labelView post →The song from The Jewel of the Nile is actually better than the film The Jewel of the Nile. Probably not a surprise. They tried to remake Romancing the Stone too fast. That was lightning in a bottle, CALM DOWN, you can't make that happen again.

neutral · AI labelView post →#365Films 35 - The Jewel of the Nile released in 1985. An '80's action comedy that was very much of the time. Michael Douglas as an action hero is definitely not a common thing. This is the second film. It came out a year after the first. There is a spiritual third film too.
neutral · AI labelView post →Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito, and Michael Douglas in Billy Ocean’s music video. The movie was The Jewel of the Nile.
neutral · AI labelView post →Based on a novel and released in 1989; think it was cashing in on Turner, Douglas and Danny De Vito having worked together on Romancing The Stone and The Jewel of The Nile. It was a very blackly funny film.

neutral · AI labelView post →So here on MTV, as I scroll channels, I find the video to Billy Ocean’s When The Going Gets Tough (The Tough Get Going). From the film The Jewel of The Nile. Was there not some controversy about Kathleen Turner, Danny Devito & Michael Douglas doing BVs in the video? Musican Union stuff? I’m right?

neutral · AI labelView post →Every once in a while, I like to remind people that one of the best songs and music videos made for a movie happened with Billy Ocean's When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going from The Jewel of the Nile.
positive · AI labelView post →"The Jewel of the Nile" is at something of a disadvantage. Jack T. Coltan and Joan Wilder were total strangers the first time we encountered the characters and this provided a lot of scope for development, but that isn't the case here so what screenwriters Mark Rosenthal and Lawrence Konner have produced instead is purely an action film which works perfectly well on all levels. The action scenes are moderately exciting and there is a highly entertaining opening where we are once again invited…
positive · AI labelView post →My runner up is The Jewel of the Nile. Honestly the cast alone could almost earn that spot. But it's equally bad as The Lost Boys, if entertainingly so with decent performances. However, the 80s values and caricatures cringe level is extreme enough to zero out any fun.
negative · AI labelView post →The Jewel of the Nile (1985) Director: Lewis Teague I remember loving this in my teens so this was a nice walk down memory lane. Still some enjoyable moments but those might be outweighed by some pretty overt racism.
