When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
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.
