Hammerman Ikon Film Guide

Rudyard Kipling's the Jungle Book
1994
**½
Director: Stephen Sommers
Cast: Jason Scott Lee, Cary Elwes, Lena Headey, Sam Neill, John Cleese

A clichéd and rather lifeless adventure film about Mowgli, a boy who has grown up (and worked out a perfect six-pack) in the jungle. The climax in the city full of treasures looks a lot like the ending of The Mummy, Stephen Sommers' next film. Based on Rudyard Kipling's novels, like the title suggests.
