How and why we don't have a page for Chamberlain's version of King Sol's Mines?

* SerialNumbersFiledOff: Befitting a Cannon Films production. What makes ''Firewalker'' still stand out is that it's an openly admitted rip-off of Cannon's own adaptation of ''Literature/KingSolomonsMines'', with few dashes of [[Film/RomancingTheStone other]] [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk popular]] [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom things]]. Creator/RogerEbert lambasted the movie for being just an assembly of scenes and ideas borrowed from other movies and then sloppily reenacted.

* VindicatedByCable: While it was a moderate success at the box office (by Cannon Films standards, that is), the movie only picked up a true following and then wider audiences thanks to the endless TV reruns.

* SignatureScene: During BatmanColdOpen Max breaks a glass bottle of Perrier by clenching his hand over it [[ConvenientlyPlacedSharpThing to get free from his bonds]]. The scene, along with a specific shot from it, has been spoofed countless of times since '86 - despite having nothing to do with the plot proper.
