Mjeteconer Just perfect...

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

gridoon2018 I can think of only three demographics that "The Treasure Of Jamaica Reef" might possibly appeal to:1) Cheryl Ladd completists. It is indeed one of her earliest screen roles, and she already has some of the qualities she brought to her most famous role, Kris Munroe: she is cute, adventurous and infectiously enthusiastic. However, she is off screen for large sections of this movie.2) Fanatics of extended underwater sequences. They sure will get their fill here.3) Insomniacs. This movie will solve their persistent problem! Other than that, "Treasure Of Jamaica Reef" is a curio at best. Maybe the "Evil In The Deep" version (with sharks added!) is an improvement, but I doubt it. *1/2 out of 4.

humbleradio OK, well, not really, but I DID enjoy it. Yes, I did. And I even watched it online, streaming, so the copy was even worse than the poor quality VHS hinted at in other comments. But, heck, I loved it. Sure it's clunky, silly, and ridiculous, but it's fun! So, count me in!Cheryl Ladd, Stephen Boyd, Chuck Woolery, Rosie Grier and that hugely awkward wood barrel van! They all put a smile on my face. And maybe yours too! Don't take life so seriously. When it comes to movies, music and art, relax, take it in, and don't take anybody's word for anything. Experience them all yourself. Would you trust another person, a stranger, to tell you what music to listen to? I didn't think so. So, you shouldn't do it with any film and not with this film, either. So, like I said, check it out. You may find yourself smiling before you know it.

Woodyanders I own a G-rated alternate cut of this film entitled "The Treasure of Jamaica Reef;" I watched it and found it to be a very pleasant and enjoyable diversion. A motley assortment of intrepid and adventurous divers who include Stephen Boyd as the laid-back leader, a pre-"Charlie's Angels" Cheryl Ladd as the token feisty hottie chick, the hulking Rosey Grier as a gregarious steamboat captain and Darby Hinton as a brash young kid go searching in the Caribbean sea for a sunken Spanish galleon which contains a fortune in gold coins. Naturally, finding said galleon and retrieving the coins proves to be an extremely difficult and challenging task.Virginia Stone's snappy direction, working from J.A.S. McCombie's lively, colorful script, keeps the nonstop pace hurtling along throughout, maintains a charmingly breezy'n'easy goofy tone, elicits spirited performances from an amiable cast, and stages several stirring action set pieces with considerable panache (a rousing car chase, some rough'n'tumble fisticuffs and a thrilling beat-the-clock rescue operation are the definite highlights). The lovely, picturesque widescreen cinematography (the underwater photography is especially breathtaking and impressive), the gorgeous Jamiacan locations, Christopher Stone's bouncy score, and the spectacular sight of the tiny, delectable Ms. Ladd in a skimpy bikini further add to the infectiously frothy merriment. An engagingly silly and good-natured piece of lightweight fluff.

wackits It's a bad movie but It has a couple of really awful scenes:1) Bad man get face grilled on a open bit bar-b-que grill. His face was well done in 3 seconds.2)During a fight, a grenade explodes in the boat. Does anyone die? NO Does anyone get hurt? NO What happens? The shockwave of the explosion throws everyone into the water and the fight continues....
