JACK HUNTER: THE STAR OF HEAVEN is the last of the three made-for-TV movies starring Ivan Sergei as everybody's least favourite Indiana Jones rip-off. This one's slightly more lively than the previous - terrible - instalment in the trilogy, JACK HUNTER: THE QUEST FOR AKHENATAN'S TOMB, but that doesn't make it anywhere approaching good.
Hunter and his chums are back, attempting to solve the mystery of a plundered tomb in their search for an ancient magical artifact. This time around, the Russian mob are also involved in the search, so we get a nonsensical storyline padded out with various inept chase sequences. The stunts seem to always be cheesily handled by director Terry Cunningham, although that's nothing compared to the ineptitude of the special effects team; just wait until you see that CGI lava!
THE STAR OF HEAVEN contains a mixture of wooden and embarrassing performances across the board, a general tired seen-it-all-before air of nonchalance, and little reason to watch for all but the most enthusiastic of B-movie veterans.
