It was released by Shout! four years ago on DVD

though picture quality is supposed to be worse than VHS.
I watched it once (2D) but I honestly don't remember anything about it.
Yeah, I never saw this movie but I remember when it was in theaters. It was during the "let's make a bunch of low-budget Indiana Jones rip-offs" era.
For a while in the early 80s, this movie was on cable almost as much as the original "Beastmaster," I saw it several times. I was an Indiana Jones junkie so I loved it (and all the other low budget ripoffs that came in his wake).
I revisited it about two years ago when somene uploaded it to YouTube, and yup, it was just as gloriously terrible as I remembered from childhoood :D

I reviewed it on my blog a while back if anyone's interested:

When I was watching everything that was 3-D, I saw this when it was 1st released to theaters. I can remember liking the non-3-D parts better than the 3-D parts.
I saw this movie when I was 10 years old in 1984.
The end scenes where the team infiltrates the compound and uses those keys to open the crowns to get the jewels always amazed me.
I remember having dreams where I was one of them trying to open one of the crowns. :smile: :thumbup:
