: So do you guys have a favorite or hated Indiana Jones knock off?
: Those Richard Chamberlin movies King Solomons Mines and Allan Quartermain and the Lost City of Gold are probably the biggest knock offs. I remember seeing the trailer for King Solomons Mines and I thought it was a new Indy movie! Hey I was only 9 at the time. Personally I like KSM, not as good as any Indy movie but a good substitute. I kinda wish it hadn't been made because I think it would have been a good legend for a 4th Indy movie. The sequel Lost City of Gold is pretty crappy though. Big Trouble in Little China is a bit of a Indy knock off too with its mix of action and magic. While not a Indy knock off since it came out before Raiders, the Micheal Cain-Sean Connery movie the Man Who Would Be King seems like a "realistic" Indiana Jones movie to me and it is also quite an excellent film which I heavily reccomend to anyone looking for a good adventure film.

there is the upcoming picture from universal called " the mummy"
