I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

HUNT FOR THE GOLDEN SCORPION is one of the very last Indiana Jones-style jungle adventure films made by the Italians, and like most Italian B-movies made at the turn of the 1990s, it's completely dreadful. The almost entire lack of money doesn't help; the budget extended to some authentic locations but that's about it. Poor old Umberto Lenzi directs with none of the style he displayed thirty, twenty, even ten years previously. An unknown cast work through a lacklustre script in which David Brandon (of STAGE FRIGHT fame) is jailed by bad guys, leading the bland hero to attempt a rescue. A few RAMBO-style village assaults and fire fights punctuate the tedium, but the main plot is never convincing and the whole thing is dragged out to the nth degree.
