- "The Lost World" is a 1925 silent film adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's 1912 novel of the same name. The movie was produced by First National Pictures, a large Hollywood studio at the time, and stars Wallace Beery as Professor Challenger. This version was directed by Harry O. Hoyt and featured pioneering stop motion special effects by Willis O'Brien (an invaluable warm up for his work on the original King Kong directed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack). Writer Doyle appears in a frontspiece to the film. In 1998, the film was deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.
From a lost expedition to a plateau in Venezuela, Paula White brings the journal of her father explorer Maple White to the eccentric Professor Challenger in London. The journal features sketches of dinosaurs which is enough proof for Challenger to publicly announce that dinosaurs still walk the earth. Met with ridicule at an academic meeting at the Zoological Hall, Challenger reluctantly accepts a newspaper's offer to finance a mission to rescue Maple White. Professor Challenger, Paula White, sportsman Sir John Roxton, news reporter Edward Malone (who is a friend of Roxton and wishes to go on the expedition to impress his fiancée), a sceptical professor Summerlee, an Indian servant Zambo, and Challenger's butler Austin leave for the plateau.
At their campsite at the base of the plateau, the explorers are shocked when a large rock falls, sent their way by an ape-man perched on top of an overhead ledge. As the crew look up to see their attacker, Challenger spies overhead a Pteranodon (mistakenly calling it a pterodactyl) which sighting proves that the statements in Maple White's diary are true. Leaving Zambo and Austin at the camp, they cross a chasm onto the plateau by cutting down a tree and using it as a bridge, but it is knocked over by a Brontosaurus, leaving them trapped. The explorers witness various life-and-death struggles between the prehistoric beasts of the plateau. An Allosaurus attacks a Trachodon, and knocks it into a bog. The Allosaurus then attacks, and is driven off by a Triceratops. Eventually, the Allosaurus makes its way to the campsite and attacks the exploration party. It is finally driven off by Ed who tosses a torch into its mouth. Convinced that the camp isn't safe, Ed climbs a tree to look for a new location, but is attacked by the ape-man. Roxton succeeds in shooting the ape-man, but the creature is merely wounded and escapes before he can finish him off. Meanwhile, an Agathaumas is attacked by a Tyrannosaurus, and gores it to death. Suddenly, another Tyrannosaurus attacks and kills the Agathaumas, along with an unfortunate Pteranodon.
The explorers then make preparations to live on the plateau potentially indefinitely. A catapult is constructed and during a search for Maple White, Roxton finds his remains, confirming his death. It is at this time that Ed confesses his love for Paula and the two are unofficially wed by Summerlee who used to be a minister. Shortly afterwards, as the paleontologists are observing a Brontosaurus, an Allosaurus attacks it and the Brontosaurus falls off the edge of the plateau, becoming trapped in a mud bank at the base of the plateau. Soon afterwards, a volcano erupts causing a mass stampede among the giant beasts of the lost world. The crew is saved when Paula's pet monkey Jocko climbs up the plateau carrying a rope. The crew use the rope to pull up a rope ladder constructed by Zambo and Austin and then climb down.
As Ed makes his descent, he is again attacked by the ape-man who pulls the rope ladder. The ape-man is again shot and finally killed by Roxton. They discover the Brontosaurus that had been pushed off the plateau had landed softly in the mud of the river, trapped but still alive, and Challenger manages to bring it back to London, as he wants to put it on display as proof of his story. However, while being unloaded from the ship it escapes and causes havoc until it reaches Tower Bridge, where its massive weight causes a collapse, and it swims down the River Thames. Challenger is morose as the creature leaves. Ed discovers that the love he left in London has married in his absence, allowing him and Paula to be together. Roxton morosely but gallantly hides his love for Paula as Paula and Ed leave together, while two passersby note: "That's Sir John Roxton--sportsman."

@RIYANSH SHINDE : The Lost World was released in 1925 Riyansh. 84j was discussing Kong Kong, which was released in March of 1933. He also was comparing the Visual Effects, which yes... were headed up by Willis O' Brien (the visual art, Dinosaur aspects and animation) and a cinematographer named Fred Jackman, who was known as a specialist in what was then called "Trick" Photography.
Willis O'Brien went on to do the original King Kong along with his hand picked artist, a man named Marcel Delgado, who created all of the dinosaur animation models (today often referred to as "armatured puppets"). Delgado built up all of the dinosaurs that were used in both films (as well as creating King Kong in 3 dimensions) based on drawings and other designs by O'Brien. However, to my knowledge they were the only two members of the *Lost World* SPFX crew to carry on to King Kong. Other men were hired to fill out that crew. Fred Jackman had directed films before *TLW'25*, was pulled in as an effects camera man for this show as he was considered one of the best in the business, but went back to directing after this film's release.
Still, "O'Bie" and Marcel were the two main individuals responsible for the realization of the dinosaurs and the similarity between the two films is well spotted. Many tried to duplicate the look of them and failed miserably... until Ray Harryhausen, who trained under O'Brien on *Mighty Joe Young* and went on do *The Animal Word* dinosaurs with him years later. Harryhausen went on to do 14 more Visual Effects laden films on his own (including 3 Sinbad films, Jason and the Argonauts and the original Clash of the Titans), virtually all of which are also considered classics today.
@@jas84173 : No... King Kong is not in the public domain, and will probably never be if the Studios have a say in it. Universal owns (most of) the rights now. It's complicated. If you want to know the story.... this lawyer did an explanatory YT video that spells it (mostly) all out. [see below for a link]
He's not 100% right on everything and the video is a little "dry" (it is mainly just him talking), but if you're really interested... he goes over the tumultuous history of the Kong films up to *Kong: Skull Island* and predicts the coming of *Kk vs G* in 2021 :

@RIYANSH SHINDE : Yes I understand you were talking about *TLW'25*. _Prodigal Son_ was asking a question about King Kong and looked like you were correcting him on that film's release date of March 1933. I was just clarifying.
These old silent monster films are helping me a lot on what I need to do to make my new stop motion animated RUclips series "Operation Hollow Earth", be successfully exciting for many kinds of audiences. Thank you so much for providing such wonderful classic films.
Only 1900's kids will remember 💚💚
i've looked into it because born in 1966 I heard many radio show like inner sanctum episodes so I would be born there.
@@angiehedge.9676 I remember seeing a ad to buy the 8mm film ìn a issue of Classic Monster magazine in 1969.
1920s kids too.
We had the best music..."humpty dollah", anyone?
Omg yes I remember 💚💚
Damm aren't we living in a great age accessing a 96 year old film with just the click .
A fellow's invented see-through film; he calls it 'cellophane.'
Another has built a parachute for jumping out of an airplane.
Remarkable things flow endlessly from out the human brain.
Indeed, what a remarkable age this is!
actually it took me two google searches and five clicks before I managed to arrive here.
But yeah I agree, it truly is amazing.

I like to think that this and the original 1933 King Kong take place in the same universe
Quite possible. And both films make use of log bridges!
Not really. King Kong took place in a real NYC, but this movie takes place in a real London (maybe) and an Amazon from a parallel universe, where it has volcanoes (are there any volcanoes in our Amazon? Is it on the "Ring of Fire?") OK, I'm being picky.
@@OEllsworth : Yes you are Oliver. There is no real Skull Island in the middle of the Indian Ocean either. The main point is that Simon said *Universe*.. not continent! Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote a book that blended the world of his Tarzan with his Pelucidar (which is from his _At The Earth's Core_ book series). It's the same idea.
I think Simon is proposing a cinematic universe where Professor Chalanger and the Lost World plateau exist in 1912, but elsewhere... "way west of Sumatra" exists Skull Island, also with surviving prehistoric life (why not?). It is mapped by Capt. Helstrom in 1929-30 (probable time line) and the map sold to Carl Denham. This enables him to discover Kong and the dinosaurs there on his film expedition in 1932-33. (Anyone know when the monsoon season starts in that part of the world? It would have been before that in 1932, as Denham mentions it.)
As a Cinematic Universe, it seems completely credible to me... and a fun notion! We should figure out a way to include Doc Savage in all of this too. 🙂

@@danbam3411check out my comment again ;)
An interesting thing about this movie: based on a 1912 book about traveling to an isolated place where dinosaurs still live. The 1925 movie adaption also features a brontosaurus reeking havoc through London. In 1995, Michael Crichton wrote his novel, The Lost World, as a sequel to Jurassic Park (his novel and the movie adaptation). It was about people traveling to an secret island with dinosaurs left behind after Jurassic Park’s island was nuked at the end of the first book. In the 1997 movie adaption The Lost World: Jurassic Park additionally shows a T. Rex escaping in San Diego as the finale. See the similarities?
Yes, but the differences are too vast to ignore. The cast of Spielberg's second film was comprised of totally unlikeable, super intellectuals that had the character traits of immoral busybodies. Goldblum was a blatant philanderer, Moore was a homewrecker, Vauhgn was a saboteur and professed philanderer, Postlethwaite wore earrings because he had gone native, Attenborough was reverted to his earlier self, the villians had to be full on drunkards and ruffians just so the leads didn't appear so awful. But it didn't work, they really were awful. And I knew something was terrible about the movie when I first watched it as a kid, and I know it now. Literally, the gymnast scene is probably the least of the irritating writing because at least Vanessa Lee Chester didn't do anything to deserve the dirtbag adults in her life. The scenery, effects, and score are the only things that kept the Lost World Jurassic Park from being totally lost.
the lost world book also mentions John Roxton as a reference in the book. he's the paleontologist in the book who suggested that T. rex had movement based vision.
@@dabeln1you must have loved dominion
When the Dinosaurs start fighting on film, mute it, then open another RUclips window and play the Godzilla vs. Destroyah Opening Theme. It works great.
Yeah!
No, no, no! Keep the Schubert going?
Personally I find this film goes great with the dino synth of diplodocus
I forced myself to watch this 3 times today and i do not regret it.
Brontosaurus scene starting at around 28:00 is completely AWESOME, in EVERY way !
Music could've been better but overall what an amazing accomplishment for 1925. Bravo to Mr. O'Brien. The guy playing Challenger was awesome. You could feel his energy through the screen. I cringed pretty hard during Zambo's dialogue though (yes I realize it was a different time and racism was normalized back then).
More appropriate, perhaps, but not better than Schubert surely!
The music used wasn't always a consistent thing for silent movies. There are actually versions of this movie with different songs in it. I'd like to see if any actually tried to fit the pacing of scenes.
That fallen brontosaurus was shown still breathing? That's some amazing detail.
Edit: that poorly-preserved long shot and then the little baby t-rexes were amazing.
I believe They were allosauruses
@@DinoCool44🎉🎉
I find it quite interesting that this is what inspired The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997).
Yeah, The Lost World: Jurassic Park is basically remake of this movie.
Not to be the "actually" guy or anything, but actually; when Jurassic park hit theaters it was such a hit that Universal requested a new book from Micheal Crichton, which he wrote, being the spine for Jurassic Park The lost world
@@yellowbananago so the movie Jurassic park: the lost world is based on a book named the lost world based on a movie the lost world based on a book named the lost world.
@@teogonzalez7957 more like the Lost World: Jurassic Park was based off the same titled book, which was a sequel to Jurassic Park. Both the sequel book and movie took major inspiration and homage from this 1925 movie, which is based off a book itself.
I mean, the original book was inspired by this movie, so the influence was there before the first Jurassic Park movie was even made.
I own at three editions of the movie and each DVD has different music. By the way, there is a longer version of this great movie. New reels have been found throughout the years and have been put together to make a longer - and nicer - version. I also like to watch this amazing movie with different music playing on my iPod.
I love your last sentence about the iPod. Wouldn't the actors in this film have been amazed to see something like that in their time.
@Hayden Gyuras Yes. Google the title.
That is an interesting documentary about Venezuelan wildlife before WW II.
It is a pity that so many species have gone extinct since then.
Mr. Lloyd Hughes as Ed Malone was my great uncle.
@Dee Eddington Yes, he was!
That's pretty neat!
Sure he was. Sure he was.
Great indeed!
A magnificent classic. Not many people realize that London, not Tokyo, was the first city to be squashed by a dinosaur ... ;)
Right
Love how the Alisourus looks so depressed when the brontosaurus fell. It was like "I couldn't save him" 😂
Music at 0:00 is The Theme Song of The Lost World
11:33 is Edward Malone's Theme
19:57 is The Brontosaurus Theme
30:10 is The Allosaurus Theme
and 37:56 is The Triceratops Theme
and Repeats all Songs Throughout (Except the Allosaurus and Triceratops Themes)
Fantastic THE LOST WORLD
Fantastic DINOSAURS
Fantastic Movie Classic Film
Nice Like
Just think: today's movies will feel like this to people in 100 years time.
I don't like that, I think today's movie will be watchable for people in 100 years, the only thing different will be probably the way the actors talk. Because language will be different in 100 years I think
Eh, I highly doubt the language of cinema will evolve more, or even equally, in its second century than its first. Also, practical and digital effects have already reached a level of being almost indistinguishable from real life.
I feel like it'd be more likely that people look back and said "wow, can you imagine people spending 1/3 of their pay check on a couple boxes of candy and tickets to see something like xXx: State of the Union? People sure were weird back then.."
Really glad to see a number of silent films in your collection!
Happy 98th Anniversary to This Amazing Movie!
Wow Jurassic Park looks older than what I remember.Seriously great movie for its time.
49:00 min one of the most iconic dinosaur scenes in the whole history of film making
I’m glad we have Jurassic world now in days
Totally Acting but this one is better
Almost 100 years old, and still alive and entertaining.
👍👍& 5⭐
Film seems oddly forgotten today among other silent era classics. Overshadowed by King Kong perhaps? It still holds up imo. It has a quick pace, a fun sense of humor, and the history making stop motion still thrills. Imo The Lost World still deserves to be spoken of just as highly as other horror/sci-fi/fantasy films of its era.

Thank you for showing this Masterpiece. As a VFX artist, overwhelmed with understanding this beautiful stop-motion work. Precisely 95 years ago.
This early stop motion work is amazing. I think that the makeup on the apeman is also quite impressive.
Yes Scott, the fantastic ape man look was done by actor turned full time professional make-up man (one of the first) Cecil Holland, with a fur suit made for them by future Gorilla suit performer legend Charles Gemora. Both pioneers in their field.

Cecil Holland had first devised the make-up on Montana for the 1920 film *Go and Get It*

This make up was so succesful that the producers of *The Lost World* hired Montana and asked Cecil to adapt the Ape Man approach for their new film, which was made between 1922 and the winter of 1924, (lensed largely in 1924) released in February 1925

I love stop motion and seeing the history of this art is just wonderful. :D
I’ve always loved stop motion animation. It has such a great “hands on” feel and craftiness to it, like all practical effects do.
The stop motion is very good! The dinosaurs are well developed & move smoothly. Tiny nitpicks: The brontosaurus has a sneer, and the triceratops all scampered like bunnies! Great fun!
i love the classic so much

is anyone familiar with the movie WarGames (1983) starring Mathew Broderick in the scene when he finds Stephen Falken he is then invited into Falken's home him & jennifer his friend from school & Stephen then plays a short 8mm or whichever format it was of a projector movie showing the extinction of dinosaurs in color even though it's animated showing ones fighting chewing on each other & then the volcano scene showing a dino in the water rising up roaring & falken then says, "Nature just gave up, & started over". im trying to find that clip if it's part of a movie.
Hey Niko : Sorry, your comment was from a year ago, but I just saw it. I'm suprised that no one else chimed in with this answer for you. It has been ever since *War Games* was on cable TV in the later 1980's when I last saw it, but I'm darn sure the movie you are looking for is Hammer Films *One Million Years B.C.* (currently released by Warner Bros. on DVD & BluRay, and I think through Studio Canal in the UK and Europe).

The VFX and Dinosaur StopMotion animation for that film was done by the legendary animation great Ray Harryhausen. That sequence of a Ceratosaurus (like a T-Rex with a horn on his nose, hence the name) and a Triceratops fighting was one of his best ever animated Dinosaur sequences.
archive.nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/One-Million-Years-1.jpg
I imagine that was why they used that clip, because as the footage was edited for *War Games*, there were no cave men in there... just the dinosaurs and the volcano, which was best for what they were trying to portray. It arguably was the best dinosaur animation ever done to that date, so it would have been the best footage available for the *War Games* producers to use that wasn't hokey (like "men in costume" Dinosaur stuff) or filled with more modern era things (like people, the cowboys in Harryhausen's *Valley of Gwangi*, for example).
It wasn't until 1993, when *Jurassic Park* featured the first ever "believable" digitally animated Dinosaurs and even later when shows like *Walking with Dinosaurs* premiered on the BBC and PBS stations.
Up to that point (before all of this) the only credible Dinosaur animation done, where there were no cavemen or other people and modern things in there too, was done by Wah Chang and Doug Beswick for a little documentary called *Dinosaurs: The Terrible Lizards*. It was good, but didn't reach the quality of Ray Harryhausen's work in *1MYB.C.*

A *Lost World* note: when he was in his late 20's, Ray Harryhausen (in case anyone doesn't know this) became apprenticed to *The Lost World's* Dinosaur animator & technical director Willis O'Brien on the Gorilla pic * Mighty Joe Young*(1949). Ray's work as an assistant lead him to being promoted to 1st technician/gorilla animator, under O'Brien. Harryhausen ended up doing 4/5's of the animation for that film and it catapulted his professional career, which eventually included 5 fairytale puppet shorts and 15 other feature films on his own... including *One Million Years B.C.*

Hey, Brennan?
This is the film you're looking for. :)
There's a scene missing at the beginning, between Gladys and Malone.
Yes, and I was disappointed that the credits were cut off the front too in this print, except for the actors. I was trying to check what they credited Willis O'Brien as, since his VFX credit was ommited. If memory serves, it was something like "Research" supervisor!
It used to come after Rothacker's "by Arrangement" credit. May have said something about "Technical" something, but the "Chief Technician" title that O'Brien occupied on *King Kong* went to First National Studios "Camera Effects" Dept. Head Fred W. Jackson on this show. Jackman and crew contributed heavily to the optical "tricks" and FX photography, but Willis O'Brien and crew created the miniature work, matte paintings (chiefly done by crew member Ralph Hammeras) and animated the Dinosaurs (which were built by crew member Marcel Delgado for O'Brien).
I read the book of this and I love it.
want to read it

This is indeed a classic, plus we get to see Wallace Beery when he was a baby!

Willis O'Brien was the man responsible for the miniatures and the Dinosaur animation in this film in 1925. His work was beyond ground breaking at the time. It made his career and created the Giant Monster movie genre. In 1956 Irwin Allen hired him to do Dinosaurs for a dull documentary he was doing about life on planet Earth called *The Animal World* (not a very original title). Everybody was talking about the dinosaurs and nobody cared a hoot for the rest of the movie.
In 1960 Allen hired O'Brien again to remake *The Lost World*, only this time he was merely hired the promotional value of his name. They replaced his proposed beloved StopMotion animated and scientifically accurate (for the day) Dinosaurs with Iguanas and Alligators (with rubber fins glued on them), and pretty much ignored his input on the whole film. Two years later, he died of a heart attack...and some say it was a broken heart... in including his wife.
Scott Gamble I know all those facts, calm down. To be honest neither version is my favorite. My favorite is the TV series from 1999-2002, THAT had the best characters and writing. You can’t fucking tell me Will Snow was not the BEST Roxton.
@@dodapictures2141 : Will Snow? Who the heck was talking about the TV series? Decide what version we are discussing before blurting in "emotional" responses, if you don't mind. If you meant Michael Rennie, then I suppose I'll have to agree with you.
However, it is truly hard to compare performances that took place 35 or more years apart. You may have noticed that acting styles have changed a lot in the last 96 years. Snow was actually _born_ in 1960, but I think he still looked a bit young (and hunky) for the part in 1999. He wasn't, but that's just my opinion.
BTW, I am calm. Please don't presume to tell me what my mood should be, but if you are concerned, you can rest assured my mood is as cool as a cucumber. I was just initially supprised at your astonishing statement. Sort of like if you had said *Plan 9 from Outer Space* was the greatest Science Fiction movie ever made.
And... come on... there are kids looking at these comments, especially a family movie like this. Please refrain from the "F" bombs, unless you want to go comment on Tarantino's films somewhere. Let's try to be a responsible adults in these forums, OK?
Scott Gamble Ok here’s the deal.
1. I actually can talk about whatever version I want.
2. The only “emotion” in my comment was enthusiasm for the tv series. If you don’t like me talking about how much I fucking love that show then you can go to RUclips Kids where you belong.
3. I’m not comparing performances but the way the characters were written. But if we do talk performances I believe Snow fucking NAILED the role. Plain and simple.
4. I don’t honestly care about what you do or do not approve of. What do you think you’re going to do to me?
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get back to the vastly superior 1999 TV show, with the vastly superior Will Snow as John Roxton.
Don’t feel the need to embarrass yourself further by responding with more nonsense, but you do you. Idc

Your scientist were so preoccupied with whether or not they could they didn't stop to think if they should
Your English is atrocious.
I got It. My answer is MAYBE.
Randall Ulrich just what we need another grammar Nazi
Adnilson Correa that doesn’t make any sense
Randall Ulrich is that better?
This Movie is so cute, i love these kind of old films
When was this version released?
1925
I love tcm !!!!!!!!!
me too
Brontosaur rampage at the end is golden like the movie
Que fantástica película próxima a cumplir 100 años de a verse producido y también me gusto
It’s Silence It’s Quiet
Indeed, I heard the exact same music on a youtube upload of another silent film a few years back. It just doesn't work.
But it's much nicer music than the crap that might work!
Dienonychus has entered the chat.
music is Franz Schubert Symphony #8 Unfinished D759
Good use of Schubert works!
The fact that they took the boat from Liverpool to Eastern Brazil which is the last unknown frontier that we still haven't explored to this very day actually makes way more logical sense than the made up islands in Jurassic Park movies that are make believe islands off the western coast of Costa Rica that don't even exist 😂
This movie is more realistic in so many ways even if its made with claymation & not CGI spectacles , its logically way more plausible tbh !!! They even got the modern day animals correct that live in that part of the world in the deep unknown Amazon region!!!!
I been waiting to see this since the Jurassic Park documentary came out in the mid 90's , i love stop motion dinos CGI looks cartoonish these days especially these days !!!!!
I wish they had been able to put the words at the bottom of the picture like closed captioning back then instead of continuously pausing the movie to display them.
That was fun. Thank you.
Only 1920's kids will remember
I'm curious why each rendition of this I've seen is different. From what I can find; the original film was 1hr 50m. This version is 1h 8m and a colorized version I recently saw said theirs was 1h 32m.
This is an abridged version. The original is 1h42m, or abouts therein.
That was one hungry allosaurus. Daem
Nah, he didn't actually eat anything he killed. He's just a sociopath dinosaur, LOL.
Very entertaining silent film.
Imagine if LAIKA Studios (creators of Coraline) make a remastered version of this movie
I know I heard this song in The Phantom of the Opera (1925) too...either way, I love it. What's it called??
+Daniel Medina Great question, I've looked for the title of the music, but can't find it!
+Daniel Medina the music is by Schubert and the You Tube video of Phantom has a listing of the score
Thanks!!
Came here looking for the same answer. Look up "Franz Schubert Symphony No.8 "Unfinished" D 759", and cheers @howard poole for helping point the way to the correct composer.
Steve Nyland It's so wonderful! Omg thank you
いかにもテキトーに付けた様な音楽もまた良いんだよねぇ！
I would really love to see these movies digitized into high resolutions like 1080p or 4K, I've had film and glass plate genitives digitized to 10K before they get fuzzy, Are these maybe only VHS copies?
Not sure, but they're not the best copies available. The Flicker Alley company released what is considered the best version to date on BluRay discs, but they are not up here on YT to watch for free - only these older copies. I expect they spent a ton of money adding the extra found "lost" footage (not all that was lost, but more than is on this version) and remastering the whole film, so they have to charge for it. I don't have a copy of that edition either (yet!), so I suppose we will all have to buy one to see it... which is fair.
Nice to hear that you are preserving stuff yourself. _Kudos_! 👉👍👍
My grandpa was talking about watching it when it first came out he was a boy
Would love to hear more about your grandpas story, did he see it back in the 1920s?
Was this the inspiration for Charles Muntz from Up?
The audio was bad for me, all crackly. I'm glad someone posted the movie, I'll come back and try again.
What if The Lost World 1925 had The Swan Lake music during the opening credits like for Dracula 1931, The Mummy 1932 and Murders in the Rue Morgue 1932
silence isn't always golden sometimes it is just plain yellow
Yeah, I wish they didn't go so over board tinting these films. The DVD and BluRays are even more saturated. It's too much IMHO. I know they do this as the prints _were_ tinted back in the day, but I would prefer to just see it in glorious B&W. The color sometimes just obscures the detail.
Pretty cool!
I own the DVD and I think this is the same music.
20:05 the Schubert "Barry Lyndon theme".
It also made a prominent appearance in the movie "The Hunger" starring David Bowie.
This specific soundtrack seems to be all that of Schubert. This soundtrack is on my version of Phantom Of The Opera (1925)
But i feel like this and king kong came out at the same time while one of them takes place in NY and London.
Love the music!
If you're like me and you came here for that running gag in "Drawn Together"
Here it is " 29:06 ".
You should put about 600 ads on a movie you never made. Great idea.
So turns out the lock ness monster was a brontosaurus
Loved the movie!
See folks... Sabyaschi gets it. Way to go man!
That trex wa shaving a bad day my god
Completely unwatchable due to too many effing advertisements... Ridiculous! Find another copy to watch.
33.42 is the best part with the dinosaurs
I liked the triceratops family better.
Thanks!
I'm starting to think that this was the origin of the game, Primal Rage with the ice Gorilla and the trex animations are near identical.
Is it weird i did a British accent while reading it
No
I wonder if this is the same Brontosaurus that reappeared eight years later on Skull Island in "King Kong"? By then it had graduated to being a meat-eater.
