Deep in the South American jungle, a young boy’s search for his mother becomes a dangerous quest for hidden treasure. Stowing away on a private plane to visit his scientist mother in Chile
Going deep into the jungle in their search for the lost treasure, the two are pursued by a ruthless scientist and his henchmen until they discover the true secret of the ice cave…!
They stole the Indiana Jones font! This is one of the few instances when I'd be tempted to see the film until I saw the cover! The ingredients are all kinda there I guess...but the finished product is a bit of a mess. I just can't get away from the niggling doubt that guys face does not go with that body!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098279/ This review however comes under the heading 'This is as bad as it gets.....'
"Michael Moriarity and Sally Kellerman must have been desperate to be involved in this total disaster. There really are no redeeming qualities to "The Secret of the Ice Cave". The acting by all concerned is terrible, and the sophomoric script could have been written by a fifteen year old. People jump out of crashing planes, without a parachute, and are practically unscratched. Totally gratuitous explosions are everywhere, spider bites cause sleeping sickness, I could go on and on about the nonsense. To top things off, there is no treasure, and the cave has no ice. Avoid this like you would a rabid dog. - MERK"
If you still fancy a peek though....
(I'll admit to watching this and thinking... 'could be worse')
I saw it today, it's not as bad as the IMDb reviewer says. It's just an average b movie teen adventure where a boy and a girl go on a treasure hunt chased by two incompetent baddies, in the way they'll fall in love. It is simple, following the same model used in hundreds of similar movies and with no good acting, but if you are on the mood for a light movie and are not very demanding you might enjoy it. I would recommend watching it with Young kids, which is the public meant for this film.
