Reception

One review called it "a second rate Romancing the Stone but quite entertaining for all that." [1]

Psychotronic Video said "The light adventure features lots of extras and horses and since it’s a Corman production those scenes are mostly likely from another movie. Also with a ridiculous and useless floating carpet, unconvincing quicksand and Parker in blackface." [2]
