Wet Gold (1984)

Four adventurers band together to search for sunken gold in the Caribbean waters: a waitress (Brooke Shields), a drunk (Burgess Meredith), an aging surfer (Brian Kerwin) and an ex-drug runner (Thomas Byrd). But tensions rise when the two young bucks fight for the girl's attention and greed starts to poison the venture. Directed by Dick Lowry, this tale of a falling out among thieves when greed and lust sets in is something we've seen countless times before and the cliches are in full force here. We know what's going to happen even before the characters do and if they had any brains at all, they would see it coming too. The cinematographer James Pergola (POLICE ACADEMY 5) doesn't take full advantage of the lush Bahamas location. The camera spends most of its time ogling Brooke Shields in form fitting swimsuits. The droning synthesizer score is by Sylvester Levay.
