I first saw this movie in the theater as a boy with my father. It's stuck with me ever since and remains on the list of my top ten favorite films. Fortunately I was able to pick up an old VHS copy several years ago.
Remote Mountains, Eerie Mines, Mysterious Bagpipe Music Drifting through the Misty Woods, Rapelling into Bottomless Mine Shafts, Crashing Float Planes into Frigid Lakes, Gold!,... What more can you ask for in an adventure film? I never tire of watching this film. It is very UNIQUE! Much of the movie is filmed in actual mine shafts. It is dark, eerie, and mysterious.

Kim Basinger makes her film debut here, fresh from her Playboy stint, back in 1982.

Rating: - Question the quality of Mother Lode

It started off with video static, then went to a Vestron Video screen, followed by the titles and the movie. I know I bought a used movie. My question is if it was a new used movie or a copy. I am giving this movie three stars because it plays. It took ... Read More
