    	Sequel to "King Solomon's Mines", this time Allan and Jesse
    	forego their American honeymoon to instead look for a "lost
    	city of gold", and Allan's brother, who appears to be miss-
    	ing.
    
    	More "Indiana Jones"-type stuff.
    
    	Again, not a bad movie, really.  Etc., etc.  8^)

    My wife looked up these movies when they played last Sunday.  The
    review stated that both movies were shot at once.  It's as though 
    they knew it was so bad they decided to shoot the sequel while they 
    still had funding ...

  May have been the other extreme. In case it was a big hit they may have
wanted avoid problems with resigning actors for the sequel. 

  When they shot the "Three Musketeers" with Richard Chamberlin, Raquel Welch,
et.al. they shot both the original and sequel for that same reason and it
worked out pretty well.
