The Jewel of the Nile takes up where Romancing the Stone left off, with romance novelist Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) traveling around the world with her boyfriend, Jack Colton (Michael Douglas).

Turns unnecessarily nasty with its racist depiction of Arabs and a barrage of racist jokes.

Reunited and it feels so bad.

OK, but weak sequel to the first Douglas-Turner outing.

If there's ever a good example as to why sequels are rarely as good as the original, it is The Jewel of the Nile.

While it's definitely not an awful little adventure flick, Jewel of the Nile stands as a pretty good indication as to why the guys never reunited for a third adventure.

Jewel of the Nile doesn't quite reach the heights of Romancing the Stone, but it's still a lot of fun and better than most sequels.

Michael Douglas and Kathleein Turner made a great couple on screen. The Jewel of the Nile has tiny bit of everything. Adventure, Humor, action, and so on.
