SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

winopaul I finally found it. I saw this as a kid. That was back when I would watch any movie until 4 in the morning, I like movies that much. This was the only movie that I saw back then that made me regret watching it. I remember telling my older brother "The best character is the sailboat. And they only show it a little at the beginning, but at least it does make a re-appearance as wreckage at the end." The whole thing is bizarre and it had to be one of those situations where the producer wanted to go to Bahama on vacation so he took a camera and some pals and then tried to piece together what they shot after they got back stateside and sobered up.The makeup on the ostriches is laughable, and the phony fangs on the dogs are as cheezy as the plastic skeletons. In between the bad acting, ludicrous score and ridiculous plot, its like National Geographic nature film, with pointless underwater shots that add nothing to the story. Hey, if you rent that underwater camera, you better use it.The dogs attacking the turtle was the only authentic thing in the whole movie, and it would get them arrested in the US if they staged it here, pity the ASPCA was not on set to prevent it.OK, fun time, lets do the rewrite. Loose the dogs and ostriches. Let the wild man be doing the king test sure, but lets have him kidnap the 11-year-old girl, to take a wife. Savages. So then the rest of the idiots try to save her, all egged on by the British guy. They fail, but it turns out the British guy is a pedophile, so the savage is really a hero, and he really just wanted the girl as a slave, since who wants to marry a kid, they are too little, too little. They all make the British guy walk the plank, the little girls enjoys being a slave, the other 4 all hook up, and a happy happy ending.

MartinHafer In hindsight, I am not sure why I watched this movie. After all, it really has nothing going for it. In fact, it's such a cheap film that I wonder why it ever went to DVD.The film stars Richard Greene as a really, really stupid professor. He decides to pack off his kids and head on an ocean voyage of discovery. So, he packs off his two girls (one very young), a friend, a college student and a sea lion (yes, a sea lion) and heads on a very long trip in his sailboat. Now I am NOT against boats and family adventures, but this guy seemed a bit flighty to put everyone at risk like this.Since the film is called "Island of the Lost", it isn't surprising that sooner or later the group will land on an uncharted island and have lots of freaky adventures. The island, it turns out, is full of supposedly extinct animals. This actually means that the filmmakers took animals such as gators and birds and 'embellished them'--sticking cardboard pieces on them here and there to make them look primordial. Well, at least that was the intention. It just came off as very cheap and silly.In addition to the silly animals, the island features volcanoes and savage natives--or at least some of them are savage...kind of. In fact, none of the stuff they encounter seems that interesting and mostly it's just Greene saying things like "...wow...there's a archaeotperixis coelocanthis..." or "...look out...they look like head hunters..."---and delivering the lines like he's delivering a lecture to a group of coeds. The acting isn't 100% terrible, though it isn't good--and this pretty much can be said about everything--the direction, camera-work and overall production. The bottom line is that it's bad but not bad enough to be funny....just dull and silly.

rudeboy_murray This was a film I enjoyed as a kid. Even then I knew it was pretty terrible - the hammy lines, the laughable special effects (ostriches with horns glued on are about the pinnacle of special effects on display), the way Richard Greene and the rest of the cast seem to walk in and out of the camera to represent scene shifts... subtle it ain't, nor art. I have no doubt that I'm influenced by nostalgia, but a revisit a few years ago revealed a film with plenty of charm alongside (or, more accurately, because of) it's extreme silliness. One comment - is this the only sixties Luke Halpin movie in which he keeps his shirt on throughout?

Arlis Wow this one was weird. I didn't know what to expect, but I was in for an unforgettable adventure....Unforgettable doesn't mean good.All jokes aside I liked it, but It was without a doubt stupid. A scientist sets off to find an island which everyone but him doesn't believe to exist . He knows if he finds it that he will find "the missing link". What he finds is amazing to him and his family, but to me setting at home watching TV I laughed out loud. Killer ostriches with little spikes on their head and an alligator with some weird ass helmet on its head and they're suppose to be prehistoric. The headhunters could've added so much to the story, but they are about as funny as the "creatures". Fun movie, I love when they're so bad that they're good...this is the epitome of that.Don't miss this one - wish I could change my vote, I might go as far as 8 LOL
