Trivia
The word "Nomolos", the name of the fight to the death, is meaningless in Zulu. It is simply Solomon backwards.

Goofs
The rifles used by the Russians in the movie are Russian Mosin-Nagant rifles Model 1930. The very earliest version of that rifle was produced in 1898. King Solomon's mines and Alan Quatermain is set circa 1860. Most of the ammunition carried by the characters is also of obvious current production.

Featured review

The British made 1950 version was better.

The main problem with this film was the casting of Patrick Swayze who did not compare well with Stewart Granger in the part of Allan Quatermain. The 1950 version was filmed in the Rift Valley of Kenya and Uganda in an area of brilliant light and suberb scenery. It dazzled us with tribal dancing, stampedes, and lots of wild animals. Unfortunately this current version has a made for TV look about it. Everything seems as if it was done on the cheap, including substituting South Africa for the rift valley. It is so long since I read the book that I cannot recall who were the villains, but this time around it is the Russians. The leading lady looks 70 years out of place with her 60's hair style and make up.

I recommend the 1950 version.
