Member Rating:  
The Jewel of the Nile takes up where Romancing the Stone left off, with romance novelist Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) traveling around the world with her boyfriend, Jack Colton (Michael Douglas). But Joan is becoming bored with Jack and all the romantic attention; as she asks, "How much romance can one woman take?" Invited by Omar (Spiros Focas), a wealthy Arabian potentate, to travel with him to his homeland, Joan readily accepts. Jack decides to pass on the trip, preferring instead to sail through the Mediterranean. It turns out that Omar wants to usurp the role of an Arab holy man known as "The Jewel of the Nile" (Avner Eisenberg), and Joan finds herself thrown in prison with the hapless spiritual leader. Jack comes to the rescue, teaming up with the slapstick bad guy from Romancing the Stone, Ralph (Danny DeVito). Together, the foursome have to cross North Africa in order to escape Omar's minions. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Not as good as the first but still good. The romantic film "Romancing of the Stone" was a big hit in my family this one was not as good but I guess it's hard to make the 2nd as good as the 1st.

I think it's about as good as the first one (Romancing the Stone) All the characters you know and love. Definitely worth seeing - more than once.

I was sent the old 1999 version. This seems to be a problem with online renting.

Joe P.

Delightful comedic adventure movie with a juicy relationship between grumpy but game Douglas and sissy but game Turner. Not quite as good as "Romancing the Stone" but close.

Yes   |   No

I didn't get it. I thought the plot was far fetched and the special effects were lacking.
