Carolina Jones and the Broken Covenant (2008 Video) User Reviews (3)

Might have known Indy would have more children scattered around the globe

[Wolfgang_Rodenbach · 6/10 · 18 November 2009]

Decided to check out this title because it's listed on the IMDb as a spoof of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal skull. But, since production on 'The Broken Covenant' must have been underway before 'The Crystal Skull' was released, it is not surprising that the two films have very little in common (and there are are no references to the trailer like in 'Disaster Movie' either). However, there are some similarities between the two films: it stars Indiana Jones' only daughter, has a scene with ants, and takes place about 25 years after Raiders, making it 1962. She also says 'I have a very bad feeling about this' at one point. On the other hand, the bad guys are still the Nazi's. The story not surprisingly seems to take more hints from Raiders and The Last Crusade.

The production values are good. The opening titles look great. There are a couple of good special effects (and some of lesser quality). Several adversaries speak with subtitles and best of all, our heroine Carolina is introduced with that a Spielbergian zoom that was sadly missing in the fourth installment of Indiana Jones. But unfortunately, the fight scene that follows is very crappy and the one liner Carolina utters (the first of many) at the end of it is more Arnold Schwarzenegger than Harrison Ford. Then there is a sex scene between two people whom the script neglects to introduce while the girl who is to become Carolina's sidekick, Dixie, looks on in bondage.

After a couple of gruesome death scenes that are more early Peter Jackson than early Steven Spiel, Carolina has secured another Cross of Coronado like object (for a museum). Dixie joins Carolina in her next quest, spurred on by a letter from dad telling her to contact J.B. (aka John Brody). This man betrayed the family (meaning his father Marcus?) by selling the location of the Ark of the Covenant. They hitch a ride on a truck with 5 horny (possibly Russian) soldiers and... throw them off at gunpoint! What a wasted opportunity that was. Dixie distracts a guard while Carolina walks in on her first and only lover (J.B.) and an expensive prostitute. Naturally she waits for the hooker to finish him off, then gets the information and has her revenge with the help of his own deadly ant farm.

Dixie tells Carolina to get J.B. out of her head by taking another lover, so she takes advantage of the first man she meets, the 'houseboy' (who is hardly a boy) at a hotel. She should have waited a bit longer till she bumped into somebody more attractive, methinks. Arriving at the German bad guy's hideout in Israel, Dixie bumps into her husband (?) Rick. The three of them are quickly captured and about to be sacrificed to the power of the ark but in a surprise Deus Ex Machina papa Jones arrives to save the day. Screenwriter Charlie Browneye (haha) still has a bit to learn about writing action scenes while keeping your main characters sympathetic (Carolina and her father both murder like there is no tomorrow), but then this is only his first credited screenplay.

Worthless rip-off, so it gets a dozen award noms?

[lor_ · 17 October 2017]

Yet another poster child for the corrupt nature of the Adult Industry's awards set-up, this very poorly executed attempt to cash in on Lucas/Spielberg's hit franchise got 12 AVN noms. Punchline is that its untalented filmmaker Ethan Kane (apparently a darling of the AVN) ended his career at this point rather than capitalizing on such praise, retiring from porn at the tender age of 24 if you believe IMDb bio stats.

One of Adam & Eve's "prestige" productions, it stars Ava Rose, whose performance as daughter of Indiana Jones is pathetic -poor line readings, indifferent sex scenes and zero screen presence. Kane has basically delivered an imitation of a Euro Porn film, specifically resembling the various large-scale Private Media productions of a decade back, with his European players -notably uber-sexy Roxy Panther, far outclassing the Chatsworth talent flown to Europe like Ava and co-star Bree Olson (equipped with a lousy Southern accent as some Dukes of Hazzard type shoe-horned into the script).

It's a long and dreary slog en route to the final reel appearance of dad Indy, hardly reminiscent of Harrison Ford and equipped with a thick accent hardly appropriate to even a misappropriated character of all- American origin. Low budget for supposedly a big-deal film is reflected in later reel scenes set in the Middle East that do not suggest in the slightest the proper atmosphere, likely shot near Budapest or wherever else this misbegotten feature was made.

Breaking Covenants and Breaking Laws (explicit crime on film)

[Joekingfans · 1/10 · 5 January 2009]

The Law, as we know it, began under Moses. It is called Mosiac Law.

With a company named "Adam & Eve," and a title like this, it is clear that the owners of the company do not care about the Almighty God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob -- let alone Moses, or his Law.

I am a Writer, and actually chatted with Stephen Spielberg about Indiana Jones in 1979.

I also have background as a Security Officer, and today witnessed a DVD from "Adam & Eve" with actor Randy Spears and an actress named something like Kaylynn.

In the pornographic segment, the actor wears a condom, until the conclusion, the actor ejaculates across the actress' open vagina. Obviously, this could have made an unsuspecting actress pregnant.

An underlying tenant of the law, whether religious law or common law, is that you may not show a profit from a crime. Even if there was no consideration involved as pay, for example, some type of volunteer or theatrical audition role, society still will be protected from criminal behavior.
