Maybe the Nathan Drake video games.

Romancing the Stone was pretty good.

 

[tiger roach]

The Mummy films are pretty fun, that would be my choice.

 

[Jbird]

Relic Hunter, the poor man's Tomb Raider starring Tia Carrera

I can't believe I've never heard of this one (heads off to netflix...)

Would The Librarian movies fall into this category?

 

[wok]

I liked Tomb Raider (the latest one with Alicia Vikander)

 

[Flamencology]

That film with Richard Chamberlain as Allan Quartermain.

Great thread topic, btw.

Temple of Doom

I'm going with Romancing the Stone but I'm skeptical that it's held up well.

 

[Guitar Heel]

Romancing the Stone is a family favorite. But Jewel of the Nile can straight fuck itself.

Depends on your definition of knockoff...


How about this one?


The only thing I remember about National Treasure was the torture my bladder endured after being tricked by multiple false endings. I finally decided I had enough and made a run for the restroom, and missed the actual ending.

Tales of the Gold Monkey? (tv series '82-'83)

i loved the Grumman Goose

(kind of cross between Indiana Jones and Casa Blanca)

I don't think I've seen Romancing the Stone since the 80s, so like dmn23 I was wondering if it held up today. Glad to know it's still enjoyable.


I went to see Jewel of the Nile when it was released and it was a straight-up ball of shit.
