Joan accepts an invitation to go to some middle eastern country as a guest of the sheik, but there she is abducted and finds her- self involved with the “jewel”. Jack decides to rescue her with his new partner Ralph. They all go from one adventure to another… What is the story of this “jewel”?
Plot: Joan Wilder is thrust back into a world of murder, chases, foreign intrigue… and love. This time out she’s duped by a duplicitous Arab dignitary who brings her to the Middle East, ostensibly to write a book about his life. Of course he’s up to no good, and Joan is just another pawn in his wicked game. But Jack Colton and his sidekick Ralph show up to help our intrepid heroine save the day.

Not abysmal but not as good as the first one
“The Jewel of the Nile” is a follow-up to “Romancing the Stone”. It lacks the greatness of the original but it keeps the same spirit. This one has lots of adventure and action (even more than the original, and is also far more violent).Robert Zemeckis didn’t return to direct this one, but 4 of the same actors reprise their roles: Michael Douglas (who also produced it), Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito and Holland Taylor. The rest of the cast is entirely different. There are plenty of new characters and new villains.
As the title says, this movie takes us not to Colombia again, but to the Egyptian deserts (in Africa, close to the Nile river). Exotic like the original’s but a completely different scenario than the original’s.
The main villain in this is Omar Khalifa (well portrayed by Spiros Focás). He is just as treacherous and dangerous as Zolo from the original film. Like Zolo, he fools Joan Wilder so that she falls in his entrapments. He pretends to be a good person, but he’s a brutal dictator. But I do like Omar’s Egyptian accent. He speaks with a charming accent. Funny that he plays an Egyptian when the actor is Greek, but then, Demis Roussos is a Greek who was born in Egypt.
Avner Eisenberg does a nice portrayal of The Jewel but the character has a mix of charm and silliness and isn’t always lovable.
This film has some really funny and great sequences, but also has a large number of faults and does not possess the charm of the original. Therefore, it doesn’t match the original’s greatness.
Apparently Michael and Kathleen only made this movie because their contract forced them to. Kathleen even attempted to back it out but was threatened by 20th Century Fox to be sued with a $25 million lawsuit. Geez, that is just so wrong! They shouldn’t have been forced to do something they didn’t want. I sort of can see why they didn’t want to do it and why Robert Zemeckis refused to make the sequel.
I used to like this movie almost as much as the original. But now it doesn’t seem that great to me anymore. Looking at it now, many things about it don’t make much sense. The original is a great blockbuster and a timeless classic.
