A rousing sequel
5 July 2000 | by (Allentown, PA) – See all my reviews

Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner reunite as the hard-hitting and constantly bickering couple Jack and Joan for the hilariously violent sequel to "Romancing the Stone," "The Jewel of the Nile." This time, our heroes are looking for the jewel lost somewhere in the Sahara, battling shieks, hostile soldiers, and crazy tribal men. Danny DeVito also returns as the greedy wind-bag Ralph. With enough laughs, romance, and bullets to satisfy the comedic, romantic, and action fan in you, "The Jewel of the Nile" is your ticket for a go
