This sequel to Romancing the Stone re-teams stars Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito, and does so without falling into too many of the usual sequel pitfalls (making the same movie over again, for instance). It starts a few months after Douglas whisked Turner off on his dream boat at the end of the first film, but she has already become bored with all the lovey-dovey stuff and jumps at the chance of hitting the exploration trail once again, at odds with Douglas but determined to get even as he chases after a gem called the Jewel of the Nile, with DeVito in hot pursuit. The three leads clearly have fun, and the action and snappy one-liners come thick and fast, making this one of those rare sequels that's not too far short of the quality of the original.

Moderate sequel to Romancing the Stone; plenty of action, but dull spots in between.

Nearly as good as the first film

Also love this film. Not as good as first but the chemistry between Douglas and Turner is good.

Disappointing

Not much I can say about this one except that the ending was a bit contrived and disappointing.

Good old fashioned fun

I love this film, I've seen it loads of times and it never ceases to cheer me up. This is the second film in the series (following up Romancing the Stone) and continues the romance between Kathleen Turner and Micheal Douglas. After a whirwind 6 months together Joan (played by Turner) takes up an opportuity of a lifetime but it also takes her away from Jack (Douglas). The opportunity doesn't turn out as Joan expected and soon the 2 are thrown back together as they try to protect 'the jewel of the Nile'. A cracking Sunday afternoon film for all the family.
