Trivia

Aileen Marson did the stunt where she swings over a pit herself, as there was no stuntperson. She was understandably terrified.

Goofs

When Quatermain shoots at the Golden Orb stone, to push it back in place and close the pit, two of the shots create marks on the Golden Orb symbol. After the pit closes the camera moves in on the Golden Orb symbol and it is unmarked.

User Reviews

Laugh-out-loud stupid!

There's bad movies, and then there's bad movies. And "Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold" fits in the B-movie criteria! Richard Chamberlin and Sharon Stone, before she was even a well-known actress play the protagonist explorers in Africa trying to look for Allan's lost brother and some treasure. Along the way the encounter savage natives and just the whole concept is just to embarrasing to explain! Even Richard Chamberlin and Sharon Stone looked embarrased to be in this movie! Guess they were just trying to earn a buck. This movie was even disliked by critics! Who could blame them?

This movie is great to watch with friends, that is if you want to do an MST3K thing while watching it. This movie should be listed in every B-movie book out there! It's so laughably stupid that it's a good movie to mock or induce vomiting whichever comes first! The title ought to be, "Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Quaaludes"!
