Rather Kiss a Cobra (1986)

Original title: Meglio Baciare un Cobra

Indiana Jones-copy. Italy. Starring Andy J. Forest, Milly D'Abbraccio & Paul Muller. Directed by Massimo Pirri.

Toshiba (Japan). English dubbed. Letterboxed.

Even though it's supposed to be a Indy-rippoff this film plays like a dirty prison movie for the most part. Passable entertainment. 2/5

Ark of the Sun God (1983)

Original title: I Sopravvissuti della Città Morta

Indiana Jones-ripp off. Italy/Turkey. Starring David Warbeck, John Steiner, Susie Sudlow & Alan Collins. Directed by Antonio Margheriti.

DVD: Pulp Video (Italy). English language options. Widescreen. Pretty good quality.

This Indiana Jones-copy is pretty slow and a little bit bit boring, but picks up considerable during the last half hour. Warbeck does his usual poor-mans-Bond thing. 2/5

Top Line (1988)

Sci-Fi/Indiana Jones-copy etc. Starring Franco Nero, Deborah Moore, William Berger, Mary Stavin & George Kennedy. Directed by Nello Rossati.

SHV (Japan). English dubbed. Letterboxed.

Bizarre, but enjoyable hybrid film that throws in a little bit of everything: sci-fi, action, adventure, horror, fantasy, stolen ideas from Indiana Jones and even the goddamned Terminator! A fun 90 minutes. 3/5

Original title: I Predatori della Pietra Magica

Action/Indiana Jones-rippoff. Italy. Starring Christopher Ahrens, James Mitchum & Clarissa Mendez. Directed by Tonino Ricci.

HMV Movies (Japan). English dubbed. Letterboxed.

Curious mixture of Rambo-style shoot 'em up action and Indiana Jones shenanegans with a little bit of sci-fi/fantasy thrown in for good measure. Cheap but not badely made... quite entertaining actually! 3/5

Erotic Indiana Jones-ripp off. France. Starring Tawny Kitaen, Brent Huff, Zabou Breitman, Bernadette Lafont & Jean Rougerie. Directed by Just Jaeckin.

DVD: Severin (USA). Widescreen. English/french language options. Very good quality.

Emmanuelle-director Jacking clearly has no feel for the adventure genre. But at least he has the sense to throw in some S/M Amazons just when you're about to give up from boredom... 2/5

Adventure. Italy. Starring Christopher Connelly, Tobias Hoesl, Gordon Mitchell, Al Cliver & Elena Pompei. Directed by Mino Guerrini.
