'National Geographic' mentioned in "The Jewel of the Nile" (1985)

In "The Jewel of the Nile" (1985), the sequel to "Romancing the Stone" (1984), National Geographic gets mentioned, but not seen.

In Chapter 15 at time index 1:02:48, Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) asks Jack Colton (Michael Douglas) this:

Joan: "What are you so happy about?"

Jack: "Just keep smiling, maybe they'll think we're from National Geographic"

What lead into this dialog was that their characters had just been "rescued" (aka taken into involuntary custody) by a tribe of Nubians, who seemed menacing and dangerous. As Joan and Jack were being escorted into the Nubian village, Jack was smiling and nodding his head at everyone, trying to be ingratiating.

>> The scene clip I'm sharing is what was happening on-screen at the time of the above quoted dialog [Turner and Douglas are at the head, center, of the crowd at right]

Scott,

I have a citation in the "Culture Fixtures" discussion "Movies" section for the dialog, but without the image.

Tom, by this point, I've totally lost track of what all possible examples you already have cited, haha. I'll have to go back and re-read all your citations 100% from scratch!
