Jungle Raiders (Italian: La leggenda del rubino malese|lit=Legend of the Malaysian ruby) is a 1985 adventure film directed by Antonio Margheriti. The film stars Christopher Connelly and Lee Van Cleef.
Captain Yankee (Christopher Connelly) and his friend make a living by selling fake adventure dreams to rich foreigners. With the help of some natives they let their rich clients think they have lived fantastic adventures. One day a Colombian museum director arrives to search for a fabulous "ruby of doom," and Captain Yankee is blackmailed into accepting the task.
Jungle Raiders was released in 1985.
In a retrospective review, Jeremy Wheeler (AllMovie) described the film as "Raiders of the Lost Ark rip-off that did its homework," noting that it directly stole dialogue and scenes from the film, including the snake pit scene and a kidnapping in an open market with laundry baskets. The review concluded to not "expect much else from this cheap Italian knock-off."
