Revealing mistakes: When Jack releases a rocket while sitting in the (fake) F-16, it clearly falls right in front of the left wheel, which should make moving forward impossible. Without anyone removing the fallen rocket the plane could not have moved forward. more

A rousing sequel, 5 July 2000
Author: coverme6 from Allentown, PA

Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner reunite as the hard-hitting and constantly bickering couple Jack and Joan for the hilariously violent sequel to "Romancing the Stone," "The Jewel of the Nile." This time, our heroes are looking for the jewel lost somewhere in the Sahara, battling shieks, hostile soldiers, and crazy tribal men. Danny DeVito also returns as the greedy wind-bag Ralph. With enough laughs, romance, and bullets to satisfy the comedic, romantic, and action fan in you, "The Jewel of the Nile" is your ticket for a go
