"Just keep smiling. Maybe they'll think we're with National Geographic."

To the surprise of the studio heads over at 20th Century Fox, Romancing the Stone was a massive box office hit when released in 1984, meaning that a second venture for the beloved characters was inevitable. Rushed through production in response to Romancing the Stone's unexpected success, the rapidly-produced J... read more

Following the success of ‘Romancing the Stone’, unsurprisingly, they decided to make a sequel reuniting Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito. The only person missing was Robert Zemeckis who had some fun with the 1st installment but he had no real interest in this sequel and he moved on towards bigger thing, a little movie called ‘Back to the Future’.

"First viewing - Feb. 14th I was pleasantly surprised a few years ago when I watched Romancing the Stone for the first time I highly enjoyed it, so I figured I'd give its sequel a look. And I should've let well enough alone. The Jewel of the Nile has some fun characters in it, but both Michael Douglas and Danny Devito seem bored at times. Maybe it was just a mistake for them to go with Lewis Teague as director instead of getting Zemeckis to return (or finding someone with similar sensibilities),"
