A mousy romance novelist sets off for Colombia to ransom her kidnapped sister, and soon finds herself in the middle of a dangerous adventure hunting for treasure with a mercenary rogue.
Joan Wilder, a mousy romance novelist, receives a treasure map in the mail from her recently murdered brother-in-law. Meanwhile, her sister Elaine is kidnapped in Colombia and the two criminals responsible demand that she travel to Colombia to exchange the map for her sister. Joan does, and quickly becomes lost in the jungle after being waylayed by Zolo, a vicious and corrupt Colombian cop who will stop at nothing to obtain the map. There, she meets an irreverent soldier-of-fortune named Jack Colton who agrees to bring her back to civilization. Together, they embark upon an adventure that could be straight out of Joan's novels.
Kathleen Turner plays a romance novelist who travels to Colombia to pay ransom for her kidnapped sister. Along the way, she gets lost in the dangerous jungles and must rely on a witty "soldier of fortune," played by Michael Douglas in a breakout performance, to survive animals and evil Colombians (not the good ones - the evil ones). Three years earlier, Raiders of the Lost Ark made a clear path for adventure films, and this movie, directed by some dude named Robert Zemeckis (who later did some flicks about time-traveling DeLoreans, framed rabbits, and a guy named Gump), cleverly follows the footsteps. My favorite scene is a jump-out-of-your-seat surprise near the end; let's just say you learn why you shouldn't stick your hand out over dank and eerie swamps. Douglas and Turner were in quite a few movies together, but this is the one that pops into about anybody's mind first. Danny DeVito also shines, doing what he does best: playing a short, sleazy guy.
A young Kathleen Turner plays a romance writer in over her head when she flies to Columbia to rescue her sister from kidnappers. An equally youthful Michael Douglas demands money from the damsel-in-distress before he'll assist her, and manfully chops the high heels off her shoes with his machete. A fun treatment of romance novels and novelists - paired with a mildly serious exploration of the gulf between fictional adventures and dangerous, grimy reality. Lighthearted. Low-key sexual titillation. Definitely a good date movie. Brief illicit drug (marijuana) humor: "Yeah, that's what I call a campfire." Only one (brief) gory scene, near the end.
Director Robert Zemeckis displays such dazzling cinematic know-how that it's genuinely depressing when this film falls off into the usual self-ridicule.
Mousy romance novelist Joan Wilder (<a href="/name/nm0000678/">Kathleen Turner</a>) receives a treasure map in the mail from the recently-murdered husband of her sister Elaine (<a href="/name/nm0870729/">Mary Ellen Trainor</a>), who has been kidnapped and who asks Joan to bring the map to her in Cartegena, Colombia. Afraid to leave the security of her apartment, Joan nevertheless travels to Colombia but gets lost in the jungle. Swashbuckling American bird-smuggler Jack Colton (<a href="/name/nm0000140/">Michael Douglas</a>) offers to lead her to Cartegena for $375 (because he's saving to buy a boat), but they soon find themselves pursued by corrupt Colombian policeman Zolo (<a href="/name/nm0645327/">Manuel Ojeda</a>) and his private army and by treasure-hunting cousins, Ira (<a href="/name/nm0635649/">Zack Norman</a>) and Ralph (<a href="/name/nm0000362/">Danny DeVito</a>), all of whom will stop at nothing to get the map. Romancing the Stone is based on an original screenplay by American screenwriter Diane Thomas [1946-1985]. The story goes that Thomas was working as a waitress and pitched her screenplay to one of her customers—Michael Douglas. Thomas was killed in 1985 while riding in her Porsche that had been given to her by Douglas as thanks for her work with him on the movie. The movie was novelized from the script by American author Catherine Lanigan in conjunction with the release of the film in 1984. A sequel, <a href="/title/tt0089370/">The Jewel of the Nile (1985)</a>, followed in 1985. It was mailed to her from Colombia by her sister Elaine's husband Eduardo. He had made some bad deals with some Colombian nasties and had the map in his possession and would not give it up, which is why they killed him. He mailed it to Joan in New York on the day he was killed. Ira and Ralph had somehow heard that Elaine's husband had the map and kidnapped her, hoping that Zolo wouldn't find out. Cartagena, Colombia is on the Caribbean coast of northwestern South America. Colombia is the first South American country you would enter if you were driving from Central America through Panama to South America. Upon entering Colombia, turn north, head up the coast, and you will eventually get to Cartagena. Although Joan Wilder originally planned to go to Cartagena in Bolívar province, she wound up in Cordóba province, which is to the south of Cartagena. Cordoba province's capital is Montería, also visible on the map. Joan and Jack were drinking from a bottle of Jose Cuervo Gold. You can tell from the large square shape of the quart bottle. Yes and yes. The bushmaster (Lachesis muta muta) is the largest venomous snake in the world. They've been known to grow to a length of 14 feet, although their average length is around six feet. The Bushmaster ranges in jungle environments throughout Central and South America. Most likely because their business, producing and selling drugs, was growing. As Joan and Jack walk up to Juan's house, Jack tells Joan that the marijuana-filled plane in which they camped out the night before might have been a lost shipment belonging to Juan. Joan then begins to exclaim that Juan and the men in the village are drug runners, but Jack silences her immediately. Drug runners usually are very suspicious of any strangers who wander into their village, even if they're factually lost. Juan himself is very suspicious of the pair, even pointing a gun at them, but fortunately it turns out that he's a fan of Joan's books. Ralph was driving an old Renault 4, Elaine was driving a shiny red Cobra, and the bellmaker (<a href="/name/nm0000778/">Alfonso Arau</a>)'s "Little Mule" was a 1982 Ford Bronco. He says, "I lost my langostino." Langostino can refer to several types of seafood but, in the context of the movie, it probably is referring to a type of prawn (shrimp). The Devil's Fork, which Juan pointed out to Joan, is one of the clues on the map. Jack wanted to get into town before Juan could find out that the fork was a marker leading to the treasure. Jack didn't want to share the wealth with Juan if they'd found it, no matter how trustworthy Juan might have seemed, being a fan of Joan's. The French title for this movie is À la Poursuite du Diamant Vert, [translation: In Pursuit of the Green Diamond], so El Corazon must be a green diamond, aka an emerald. After the alligator bites off Zolo's hand and swallows El Corazon, it goes over the wall into the water and Jack dives after it. The scene changes back to Joan's publisher's office in New York. Gloria (<a href="/name/nm0852466/">Holland Taylor</a>) is reading the ending of Joan's new book about her recent adventure but with a slightly different ending (whereby Jack meets her at the airport). The publisher says, "You're now a world-class hopeless romantic," and Joan corrects her. "HopeFUL romantic," she says. In the next scene, Joan is walking home with a bag of groceries, her hair flowing and a confident look on her face and in her step. She stops outside her apartment building where she sees a big sailboat parked in the street. Jack throws down a ladder, Joan climbs aboard, spots his alligator boots, and says "I like your boots." Jack replies, "Yeah, that poor old yellow-tailed guy developed a case of fatal indigestion. Died right in my arms." Joan says, "I can't blame him. If I were to die, there's nowhere else on earth I'd rather be." They kiss, and the boat "sails" down the street as the credits roll. Angelina out of Colombia. Simply titled End Titles, the music was composed by American film score composer Alan Silvestri and played by the American jazz fusion band called Spyro Gyra. To get the lower rating, two scenes at the end needed to be removed. The theatrical version was cut as well but it only lacked 1 second instead of 9. The uncut version has been released on DVD with a BBFC rating of 12. a5c7b9f00b
