Is this based on a true story?


That seems to be the question asked about every film on IMDB, so is it?

Seriously though, not a good film, though I would have paid more attention if I had known Gabrielle was in it... I assume she was the lead woman?

Oh, yes, most definitely. It's inspired by a true story that was suggested by a friend-of-a-friend's maternal uncle who once lived in the Bulgarian section of Los Angeles, who remembered a story about someone who got an email about it.

Either that, or it's a cheap rip-off of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I very much doubt it's based on a story at all.

Gabrielle!!! That's who that is! I thought, damn, she's hot, not even realizing who it was.

Somehow, knowing this, she seemed hotter while hanging around Xena. Maybe it was that whole "is she or isn't she" lesbian thing.

I think it was more the outfit

I pretty much look up every one of the cast in these chessy low budget movies. They tend to have one person that is an old school you haven't seen in a long time. Either singer or actor. I didn't even catch that was Gabrielle until I just read this.
