Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold is a 1986 American adventure comedy film directed by Gary Nelson and released in West Germany on December 18, 1986, and in the United States on January 30, 1987. It is loosely based on the 1887 novel Allan Quatermain by H. Rider Haggard. It is the sequel to the 1985 film King Solomon's Mines. The role of Allan Quatermain is reprised by Richard Chamberlain, as is that of Jesse Huston by Sharon Stone.
Upon its release in January 1987, Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold was poorly received by critics. Plans for further sequels were shelved in light of its commercial failure.
