    I think they both have their pluses and minuses. I don't favor either one over the other. Both are great entertainment. There is just one thing that bothers me in El Dorado, and that it the way Duke curls his hand up when he loses the use of it. Just doesn't look right to me.

    Not even close, SXViper. It is almost a totally different story with just a very little of it making the movie. Even the characters are different. It's been a while since I read it, but I did enjoy it as a book. It just wasn't near the same as the movie. Most of the books I read that were made into Duke movies, they stay close in the story line. This is the only one I read that was so far off. If I didn't know that El Dorado was a product from the book befor I read it, I would not have guessed it. But like I said, it was a very good read.

    Here is a copy of the book from which the movie idea came from. The book bears very little resemblance with the movie, but was a very good read.
