Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Third-rate cash-in on Raiders of the Lost Ark: Dakota pilot Bomber Harris (bet they thought hard on that one) meets up with a scatty brunette, and both go off in search of some ancient stone tablet that is supposed to provide amazing power to whoever possesses it. 'Bomber' is played by Hargreaves, a hammy sort of bloke who tries ever so hard to be the macho Indiana Jones, but fails dismally. In fact, nearly everything about this movie is pretty awful, and that includes the most appalling editing you're ever likely to see.Author: DA
