2 great movies together.......2007-03-11

This DVD set is great, whether you're a Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, or especially a Danny DeVito fan, or if you enjoy action/adventure movies that have a very funny side to them. There is a very sexy romance plot in addition to the adventure theme as well. Good product.

80s nostalgia.......2007-02-05

These 2 films are 2 of the most nostalgic films for me from the mid-1980s. It had been a long time since I watched them, but they remain as delightful today as they did when I first saw them on VHS in the 80s.

Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner portray a pair of quasi-lovers thrown into rather unpredictable circumstances. Danny Devito plays a loveable bumbling bad guy who is out to convince himself that he really IS a bad guy.

The DVDs contain special features which interview the stars today and all 3 reminisce about the making of both films. The story about how the set-prop of the F-16 nearly caused an international incident is comical. There was just one downside to the interviews, and that was that Kathleen Turner (who SIZZLED in the 80s!) has not aged well @ all. I would have never recognized her. Sadly, I believe Danny Devito has aged more gracefully than she has.

If you grew up in the 80s, I would highly recommend that you pick up this DVD set to re-discover why we all loved Kathleen & Mike way back then. If you're young enough that you were not alive when the movies came out in the theatre, then you're in for a big treat. These are 2 of the funnest adventure movies ever made!

DVD review.......2007-01-19

Arrived in good time and perfect condition. Haven't watched them yet as they are a present for someone else.

Great to see an old favorite.......2007-01-03

It was great to see an old favorite on DVD. The bonus materials were great and to see both of the main characters today was great!

Romancing the Stone / Jewel of the Nile.......2006-11-05

I have loved these two movies since I was a little girl and it is so nice to be able to watch them again and again now that they are on DVD. Thank you so much!!!

This sequel to 1984's rip-snorting romantic-adventure, Romancing the Stone, is a moderately entertaining tale that pales by comparison to its predecessor. Romance novelist Kathleen Turner and retired soldier-of-fortune Michael Douglas return as a now-complacent couple. Bored with life on a yacht, they find excitement thrust upon them when she accepts a speaking engagement in the Middle East. Once there, she is abducted and finds herself involved with the "jewel" everyone is chasing. Douglas teams up once more with Danny DeVito to rescue his love. Less charming and more predictable than the original, this suffers for one simple reason: the characters have nowhere to go. In the original story we watched Turner blossom from timid storyteller to lusty adventuress. In this flick she is too much like all the other action adventure babes we've seen before. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Description

In the blockbuster Romancing The Stone, novelist Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) and wanderer Jack Colton (Michael Douglas) went sailing off into the sunset together. In this thrill-packed sequel, Ralph (Danny DeVito) is back on their trail and they're back in the fast lane on a perilous trek through the fierce North African Desert. Not even treacherous tribes, deadly dungeons and semingly endless villains can stop this trio from finding, once and for all, that mysterious "jewel."

aduharte.......2007-05-07

I like this movie a lot but I enjoy the first part way more.

Incomplete without the soundtrack's music video.......2006-09-01

I'm not gonna buy it because they didn't include
Billy Ocean's When The Going Get Tough music video
from the soundtrack.
It makes no sense not to include it
because Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner
and Danny DeVito were in the video.

I'd Marry Joan.......2006-02-25

It's hard to believe this DVD is (at least temorarily) unavailable retail. This is one of the few instances when the sequel is better than the original (Romancing the Stone). It's one of the few films with a really good first person portrayl of a writer (Kathleen Turner as Joan). Whatever you think of Michael Douglas, this appearance must rate near the top of his least stereotyped performances. Danny DeVito is great as a would-be heavy. This is almost a latter-day James Bond film except the heroine is an everyday Everywoman.

"Family film" would not be an oxymoron if studios made films with as much heart and soul as this one. In some ways it's like a calmer, less hypertensive Raiders of the Lost Arc. You don't need to see the so-so Romancing the Stone to enjoy this film and (re)discover this neglected gem.

Oh Man, this sucks.......2006-01-21

This movie along with the first one, "Romancing the Stone"

are just not very good movies.

When a movie gets you to say (quote) "what the **** is going on here?" then something has got to be wrong with it.

This one was better for me than the first one, but still kind of stupid. At least there was an F16 aircraft in this one, but that doesn't make the movie.

If you are used to the Real Indiana Jones movies then this an insult to filmmaking. I just hated the first one, "Romancing the Stone", Just every minute of watching was like "oh come on!" unbelieveably stupid things happening for no reason, like when they accidentally just find a jewel wrapped in a paper tin foil in a stream, and they kind of wipe themselves with it. (they almost wipe their asses with it,)

There was a bunch of mud on the jewel, oh my goodness, could this film be made any worse? Danny devito is like right behind them, he just takes it away from them and smiles.... Terrible!@ I just can't have this film in my video collection, but I can't give it to anyone like a friend of mine because that would be like a mean trick. I;'ll just have to throw it away or recycle it...

On the other hand, I have several copies of the original "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark" in widescreen, now that movie is a m a z i n g . Do yourself a favor and watch the widescreen version of Indiana Jones instead of this bul**** good luck,

Velveeta at its finest!.......2005-04-03

I blinked and missed the eighties, too busy working and raising kids. So I picked this up, along with "Romancing the Stone," in the nineties, and caught up!
