This may go down in cinematic history as the first movie where a kick to the head ends a dogfight between monoplanes.

The gargantuan spider monster and mutant hippopotamus creature toward the climax are definitely something different.

a largely unimaginative adventure, albeit not one that isn't entirely without its entertaining qualities, even if said qualities are best appreciated with a heavy dose of irony

King Solomon's Mines is frequently laughable. Nothing about the film is convincingly done.

Not much to do with "mines". A train, aeroplanes, action, bathtub with fruits. If you want to be entertained, this isn't the movie, you should watch.

B production film. Terrible sript. Not worth of time. As script written so bad as it is, acting also looks desperate.

Enjoyable enough on a rainy Sunday afternoon but it looks a bit cheap and you've seen it done before, better.

Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é mais ou menos, as cenas são bacaninhas, o elenco é mais ou menos, e só o casal ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é mais ou menos, os personagens sao fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores, mas eu até recomendo esse filme.

King Solomon's Mines is a terrible rehash of Indiana Jones with visual effects that are so awful, even for the 80s. The entire movie is laughably bad and gets one wondering if it's money laundering.
