Yet more reasons to hate Sharon Stone
This film is so horribly bad that it is actually included in a course that I am taking at my college that looks at African stereotypes. But my big problem with this movie was Sharon Stone...
Sharon Stone looks NOTHING like an Israeli, ergo she couldn't be the queen of Sheba
Sharon Stone wears a preppy little lemon-yellow top which remains spotless throughout the movie
... Oh sorry, that was explained by the 'noble' tribe who 'hang upside down for trees in order to save the world' (gag, hairball). They worship her, give her diamonds, and wash her clothes for free, because she is their 'queen'. Wouldn't they have an African Queen?
Sharon Stone conforms to all the stereotypes of the lady in the 'African jungle'. She must scream at spiders, be abducted, flinch when an African touches her, and oh, let's not forget her flirtations with the Nazis.
By the way, the Germans are also horribly portrayed in this movie...
But to get back to Sharon Stone... here's an interesting fact I found out- she was so horrible on set that all the cast members apparently pissed in the pool where she bathes (in the scene with the upside-down tribe)
Yech... when will Hollywood learn?
