San Fernando Jones and the Temple of Poon

About This Movie

So, San Fernando Jones and the Temple of Poon is a wild ride that combines action, adventure, and a hefty dose of comedy. It’s this goofy take on the classic treasure hunt narrative, but with a twist that some may find a bit too risqué. The pacing is all over the place—sometimes it feels like it’s sprinting, other times it lags, but that quirky energy kind of adds to its charm. The practical effects are, let’s say, not the best, but there's something endearing about their low-budget approach that lends a certain authenticity to it. Performances are hit and miss, with San Fernando himself being a bit of a caricature, which is both amusing and cringeworthy at times. It’s one of those films that, for better or worse, you can't help but remember after you’ve seen it.

This film holds a peculiar place in cult cinema, often sought after for its absurd premise and offbeat humor. While not widely available in mainstream collections, its rarity has created a niche following among collectors seeking the unusual. Edition variations exist, but good quality prints can be hard to come by, making it an intriguing find for dedicated enthusiasts.
