It is difficult to remember today, but in 1996, Grave robber Exploded into the game landscape and thanks to his heroine of the Waffen-Akimbo, Lara Croft, immediately became a hit that is considered female Indiana Jones, although it consisted of triangular polygons. Hollywood moved quickly by relatively speaking by giving her a film to life in 2001, but there was Tia Carrere and an overlooked syndicated series in front of Angelina Jolie. Relic hunterThat has redeemed the sensation. Surprisingly, the show managed to run three seasons and produced 66 episodes, and today it is a funny time capsule of a series.
Relic Hunter understood the task
Tia Carrere finally had to be the lead in her own series as Sydney Fox, professor of old studies, and technically not an archaeologist who, in addition to her British assistant Nigel, would find an artifact, turn out to fist feasts, return to fist use that would arise to reset, reset back to Faustfiehs that would pursue an artifact Lost object to the lawful owner and then end with a scene about what happened after the adventure. Relic hunter was as predictable as HouseBut everyone who is involved in the series Hercules And Xena. If it was an Olympic sport to take itself seriously, Carrere would take the gold home.
Relic hunter tried to bring the feeling of a globe-troting adventure into every episode, but the tiny budget led to the spectators spoiled with episodes that took place in 2000, with several shots of old women who push the vegetable cars, even though they for example. Or the stereotype version of Paris that you can imagine. The tires through which Sydney had to jump to justify each adventure reached the point of absurdity at an early stage and then had to be grounded in reality without care. All of this, and it’s still better than Grave robber: Angel of darkness.
From Wayne’s world to worldwide adventures
The best part of Relic hunter is that Tia Carrere could be the lead and used its breakthroughs in the role Waynes worldWhere she first turned her heads with her appearance and then impressed everyone with her comic timing. A talented singer who also appeared on the appearance Waynes world Soundtrack, Carrere was in the role of “guest star” in every series that could be imagined, from Lagerhaus 13 To NCIS: Los Angeles. It is obvious that she has observed her 90s series why she was occupied as a lead, but she can go the fine line between camp and totally farce, the audience wink and the joke of the joke, while everything is carefree and funny.
Relic hunter never the heights of reached by Hercules or XenaBut with 66 episodes it was more successful than Tarzan or The new adventures of Robin HoodAnd it is still better than the youngest National treasure Series via Disney+. Not every show has to be a deep treatise on the human condition or a comment on problems in society. Television can be fun, even if the only purpose is to serve as a distraction, and although it has been forgotten largely today, Tia Carrere still makes a trip as a star of your own series, provided you do not think about it The low-budget adventure underwear about you without care in the world.
