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.
