When Mr. Norris, the former karate champion, isn't using his feet on ill-tempered Indians and Mexicans, he's stomping on the facetious dialogue, which deserves it more.

There are really only two good words to say about this wreck -- Melody Anderson.

Where to start with this movie? Where to end? Even more to the point, in which order to show the reels?

Norris again fails to find a niche for his limited talent.

Almost embarrassingly bad Chuck Norris "Raiders" rip-off.

Chuck Norris' acting abilities are matched by some truly tacky production values in this jungle search for missing treasure.

Unfortunately, I've actually seen this. My dad is a Chuck Norris/Steven Seagal/Van Damme kinda guys (thank the Gods I didn't get his tastes!). As if Norris wasn't enough, Gossett was pretty bad as a side-kick.
