Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold (1986)
Oh my.
Not even Sharon Stone's breathless performance could save this movie from itself. Apparently most of the movie's budget was spent on transporting crew and equipment to Zimbabwe for a few outside shots, then back to the LA Public Library (aka Temple of Gold) to shoot the important scenes. And, of course, the big shiny axe, wielded expertly by none other than a dentally impaired James Earl Jones.
Do we even need to get into the finer points of Elvira acting as the wicked temple queen? Save yourself the trouble, and channelsurf until you find a Tony Danza marathon - the acting will be better and you might find a plotline you can follow.
The Candidate (1972)
Disappointing ending
This movie spends an hour and a half convincing you that it will reveal some great truth about politics, about our world, about life. Then it spends the last 2 minutes convincing you that you wasted an hour and a half.
