Back in the early eighties when VCRs first hit the scene and you saw the very first video rental stores (one’s where you actually had to pay a membership fee to join)  
I remember a video that our local rental place was renting out.

It was a movie about some exotic locations with a lame story but the catch with the video was that throughout the movie there were clues to an actual buried monetary treasure. I think it was like $100K or something. This was an actual treasure (not one in the movie) buried somewhere in the world by the makers of the video.

Does anyone remember this video? Did anyone ever actually find the money?

Yep, that’s the one I was remembering.

It looks like
