White Man’s (Cinematic) Graveyard
Despite the pervasive White supremacy, intermittently-funny comedy and weak characterization, this is rather fun.
Moving at a cracking pace, you can almost ignore the bizarre and glaringly-bad continuity. Just how does Colonel Bockner extricate himself from quicksand; while having no trace of the fluid on his uniform immediately afterwards? How do Jessie’s shorts become skimpier as the film progresses (not that we mind, of course)? And how does Dogati (John RHYS-DAVIES) escape - after being crushed by rocks (twice) - to engage in a climactic showdown with the hero Quatermain?
