Die Feuerwalze (1986)
41KDie Feuerwalze: Directed by J. Lee Thompson. With Chuck Norris, Louis Gossett Jr., Melody Anderson, Will Sampson. A pair of adventurers try to track down an ancient Aztec/Mayan/Egyptian/Apache hoard of gold.
“Chuck Norris and Lou Gossett, Jr. play a couple of soldiers of fortune who have lots of forced banter and get into wacky adventures. Look out fellas because blonde cutie Melody Anderson has a treasure map and is looking for partners. Cannonu0026#39;s entry into the adventure film boom of the u0026#39;80s. But this is no Indiana Jones or Romancing the Stone, no matter how hard it tries to be both. Norris and Gossett give their best Hope u0026amp; Crosby impersonation but it doesnu0026#39;t work. Gossett fares slightly better than Norris at the comedy but not by much. Both are embarrassing. Looking pretty is all Anderson brings to the table, though she certainly brings a lot of that. Cheap production values (it was Cannon so you knew that would be the case), lame dialogue, and derivative plot. Still, time has granted it a charm of sorts that many u0026#39;80s films have. Nostalgia I guess. Love the cave painting that appears to have been done in crayons.”
