The ending is seriously epic and haunting and the same time. Blows anything today away and you totally see where a lot of later films got their inspiration from.

It was released as a 'Fantasy Adventure Triple Bill' boxed set with 'Earth's Core' and 'The Land That Time Forgot' and individually too. Google displays info for you if you type in the release# CCD30118. <br /><br />Nice to see i'm not the only one who loves these classics. I have a pretty large collection of dvd (from gerry anderson to godzilla and beyond) :D<br /><br />Take careChris Lingwoodhttp://www.yellowmagic.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-34726088074483093192011-04-01T02:26:01.903-04:002011-04-01T02:26:01.903-04:00I'll be writing about At The Earth's Core ...I'll be writing about <i>At The Earth's Core</i> one of these days... but I've never seen <i>Warlords Of Atlantis,</i> dammit.Christopher Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978811373546110421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-21976117157346718832011-03-31T20:30:19.284-04:002011-03-31T20:30:19.284-04:00I saw both Land and People that time forgot back i...I saw both Land and People that time forgot back in the day at a drive-in no less.

I didn't get to see it again for many years -- until TBS started airing it on a regular basis in the 80's. The sequel was less enjoyable, but at least they tied it in with the original.<br /><br />Doug McClure was fun to watch in all of these dinosaur movies and you know that he was just there for a paycheck and some fun. And he worked really well with Peter Cushing in "At the Earth's Core." His role in "The People that Time Forgot" was very limited and that's sad, because I really liked the Bowen character. He did go on to star in "Warlords of Atlantis" so I guess he wasn't too tired of the genre quite yet. I also believe that his roles in his many B movies earned him a tribute with the Simpsons character Troy McClure (voiced by the late Phil Hartman).<br /><br />SPOILER WARNING...<br />It's too bad they killed off the Bowen character in the second "Land" movie, because I would have enjoyed seeing him escape and have further adventures. Also, the absence of Susan Penhaligon (Lisa) was pretty harsh. I didn't like the explanation that she was "sacrificed" by the Naga guys. It felt like McClure took a page from the Charleton Heston book of "killing off your character so there won't be a sequel."Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04157952529413529997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-5456349266142580602011-03-30T00:55:13.186-04:002011-03-30T00:55:13.186-04:00THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT was one of my favorites ...<i>THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT</i> was one of my favorites as a child. The ending always left me wanting more. Until I saw the sequel almost two decades later. I didn't really want that. But then again, I think I was too old to appreciate it anymore. :)<br /><br />Thank for the trip.<br /><br />- ArkArkheinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04197738947435750745noreply@blogger.com
