It is difficult to remember today, but in 1996, tomb Raider Exploded in the landscape of the game and has become an instant success thanks to her heroine Guns-Akimbo, Lara Croft, considered as the female of Indiana Jones even if she was in triangular polygons. Hollywood quickly moved, relatively speaking, giving her life with a film in 2001, but before Angelina Jolie, there was Tia Carrere and a neglected unionized series, Relic hunterIt conceded the sensation. Surprisingly, the program managed to operate for three seasons and produced 66 episodes, and today it is a funny time capsule in a series.
Relic Hunter understood the mission
Tia Carrere was finally the main of her own series as Sydney Fox, professor of old studies, and technically not an archaeologist, who, alongside her British assistant, Nigel, would find an artifact each episode, is committed to the Fistips, return, return the article lost against the legitimate owner, then ends with a scene on what happened to him after the adventure. Relic hunter was as predictable as HomeBut all the people involved in the series understood the mission, transforming each episode into a Schlocky game which fits perfectly alongside Hercules And Xena. If it didn’t take you seriously was an Olympic sport, Carrere would bring gold home.
Relic hunter I tried to bring the feeling of an overall-top adventure with each episode, but the tiny budget meant that viewers were treated to episodes that take place in the year 2000, featuring several photos of old old Women pushing vegetable carts despite being, for example, in Ireland, or the most stereotypical version of Paris that you can imagine. The hoops that Sydney had to jump to try to justify each adventure reached the point of absurdity very early and then continued to do a single treatment by pretending to be anchored in reality. All that, and it’s always better than tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness.
From the world of Wayne to the adventure of the world
The best part of Relic hunter Could Tia Carrere be the head, capitalizing on her role as a breakthrough in Wayne’s worldWhere she first turned her head with her appearance and then impressed everyone with her comic timing. A talented singer who also played on the Wayne’s world Soundtrack, Carrere ended up in the role of “guest star” on each series that you could think of, from Warehouse 13 has Nis: Los Angeles. He is obvious by watching her 90s series why she was interpreted as head, but she is able to walk on driving between camp and total stuffing, wink at the public and being the butt of The joke while keeping very light and fun.
Relic hunter never reached the heights of Hercules Or XenaBut in for 66 episodes, it was more effective than Tarzan Or The new adventures of Robin HoodAnd it’s always better than the recent National treasure Disney +series. Not all emissions should be a deep treaty on the human condition or a comment on the problems of society. Television can be fun even if the only goal is to serve as a distraction, and although it was mainly forgotten today, the only exit from Tia Carrere as a star on its own series is always fun, provided that You don’t think about it, let the adventure at a low budget starts you without care in the world.
Relic hunter is available on Tubi.
