9	''Curse of Snakes Valley'' (''Klątwa Doliny Węży'') is a 1988 Polish-Russian movie, which is remembered in Poland as one of the worst movies ever made. Back in TheEighties everyone wanted to make an ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' rip-off. Fortunately, there was a short story titled ''Hobby doktora Travena'' (''Doctor Traven's Hobby''), which had exactly the required type of plot. Needless to say, a adaptation got made. It was directed by MarekPiestrak who made several bad ScienceFiction and {{Horror}} movies.

11	In 1954 evil American mercenary [[UsefulNotes/VietnamWar fighting in Vietnam]] stole a vase from a Buddhist monastery.
12
13	Thirty-four years later, in Paris, the mercenary approaches Jan Tarnas, a professor of Sorbonne, with a map that he found in the vase. As it turns out, the map is leading to an unknown temple. Then Christine Jauvert from France Soir is persuaded by a member of a MegaCorp or TheConspiracy, controlled by a man called Breecher, to go with them. The whole crew heads out for Vietnam. After they reach Vietnam they meet a group of Russian scientists, then they meet the monks who help them to go into the temple, and then they encounter eye-beam shooting statues and snake-like creatures called the Second and Third Cuman.
