Farouq Abdul-Aziz, the presenter of the popular show on KTV2 ‘Cine Club’ in the 80s now has a website. The website has a few blog posts by him, interviews and most importantly, original episodes of Cine Club. Right now they have around 7 videos on the website but they’re hoping to upload all his episodes eventually.
I really hope they do that since there is this one Cine Club movie I watched as a kid that I’ve been wanting to watch again but I could never remember its name. All I remember was that it was an adventure/treasure finding movie and the last scene of the film takes place in this mountain where the hero finds the golden artifact only to have to leave it behind because the whole mountain was collapsing. He escapes in a helicopter. That’s all I remember so hopefully I’ll eventually find it.

Awesome post dude… Thumbs up
Sweet. I remember watching this as a kid. I was too young and never understood why the host had talk and talk before playing the movie 🙂 .
The music of the opening titles is great. Dvořák: Symphony №9, “From The New World” – Allegro Con Fuoco. Link to the music below

Indiana Jones.
Wow interviews with Vanessa Redgrave!
THE NAME OF THE FILM IS : THE TREASURE OF SIERRA MADRE, BY JOHN HUSTON(1948 FILM ) .
I’ll check it when I get home if that’s the one I’ll buy U dinner!
Ok can’t be it cuz the film I’m talking about is in color
The move is Mackenna’s Gold (1969)
It’s not a western, I also remembered the last scene the hero is hanging outside the helicopter and it wouldn’t fly off cuz of the weight so the pilot tells the hero to drop the sack with the artifact which the hero has to do so they could fly off
Have you tried one of the movie search engines that you input a description of the movie and it finds it for you? Worth a try.
No I haven’t, I posted in the IMDB forum years ago but nobody could figure it out. Maybe I should get in touch with Farouq
If you google find a movie by a description or a plot, you’ll find a few search engines that do that.
Do you remember around what year this was?
80s, thats all i remember, i think i really need Farouq to help me out here
Hunters of the Golden Cobra 1982
Just watched the ending on YouTube. Not it. The artifact was a golden disc shape with like a black sphere in the middle and the guy put it in a messenger bag. Then when he was hanging outside the helicopter in the last scene he drops the bags
It should be on this list somewhere https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Treasure_hunt_films
Mark I think it’s “Armour of God” part 1 you looking for
Sorry it can’t be it exactly same ending you described but they escape with a hot air balloon
Maybe MacGyver or Airwolf
ummm no
is it cliffhanger with sylvester stallone by any chance? aka climbing rambo ramboo al mutasalq lol
