  • 0:12 my favourite dinosaur roar

  • i would not no macdonalds.

  • Classic movie.

  • Saw this as a kid and loved it.

  • When I was a kid,and the TV ad for this movie was coming on the Late Show on channel 10. I sneaked my way down to the living room to try and see it,but I got caught by my Grandfather,and ,he told me to go to bed. Never saw the whole movie,I think I got maybe fifteen minutes worth of viewing.

  • I saw this great old monster movie when I was about 15, when it first came out. The dinosaurs didn't fool anybody, but there were plenty of them, and the foggy landscape made this movie one of the best of its time.

  • JOCK MAHONEY !?!?!

  • Those "dinosaurus" are cute :]

  • 0:11

    Godzilla-type thing: "RUUUAAAARRWWWWRRR!!!"

    Human buffet: "--- ..."

  • BTW, does anyone know where I can see this? The movie was never released in my country, and I cant find it ANYWHERE on the internet for a suitable prize :(

  • @FilmForceStudio my channel, i have the whole movie.

  • @772Dinoman You, friend, deserve a medal!

  • Wow, this movie was really ahead of its time. It´s great use of special effects, and the clever ways to make small things seem big makes this an unforgettable classic in the history of Science Fiction!

  • I love thee old movies. they are simply fun to watch. In this case the hidden world full of things with pointy teeth that eat unwary travelers and a mad enemy waiting to take advantage of the group. I is an old and honored scenario in stories movies and games nicely done. for the time it was made the effects were fairly good, and the acting better than most.

  • That sure is an unkown creature.

  • Stgeasauri... yeah, sure, not like the only two recognizeable features of stegasauri were fins and tail spikes...

  • This is a very entertaining movie from the 1950's with good effects, acting and better than normal dialogue. I enjoyed it as a film of my youth and am amazed of it's quality even today. It is worth the time,,and the scientific fact on which it is based is very interesting despite some understandable inaccuracies.

  • lol at 0:41 AHHH who let my iguana on to the set!

  • @seskid1 whats your problem with words starting with L?

  • i ove how at the beginning there just ooking at the dinosaur ol

  • listen at 1:00 does any one else think that sounds like bowser from the mario video games?

  • This roar is in Avatar.

  • @Chris82bc It's also in Duel, and later Jaws, who both used it first.

  • @alekesam Yeah I know, it wasn't easy tracing the origins of the roar. All the Jaws and Duel trivia said it was just some old dinosaur sound effect. No source was ever given.

  • why don't they show this movie on tcm at all

  • I like the apparently limited scope of the action. Trailer suggests it all happens in the swamp and clearings near the downed chopper, and maybe in a nearby mountain range. Man, I'd defend that chopper to the last -- their only KNOWN way out. 

  • Nowadays, ole Tyrannosaurus would be Tyranopoultrius or something. I'm sure jaws would've dropped in shock over that.

  • komdo dragons are stegasauri

  • Stegasaur-i.

  • That is one of the classic, distinctive, and greatest roar in the history of film. It is right up there with Godzilla's distinctive roar.

  • I found the VHS video. Saw this movie many years ago. Scared the heck out of me. I read somewhere that the tyrannosaurus rex costume was used for "Spot" on the tV show "The Munsters." I love this movie. It is pretty good for its day. No Jurassic Park for sure, but a pretty good movie. Thanks for posting.

  • @GTbooster Scared me half to death as a kid around 6 when I saw it. Evil eyes of the Tyrannosaurus Rex scared me - plus the other creatures did too - like the Plesiasaurus (what I think it was)!

  • The lead actress in this was terrible. Her facial expression almost never changed.

  • looks bad ass

    

  • if dinosaurs look like humans.

  • OMG! The freaking T-Rex! And people make fun of Japanese Kaiju films?! At least Godzilla looks convincing enough when he's done well.

  • Loved this movie when I was 4-6 years old! Had me on the edge of my seat!

  • Yes - I liked it when the dinosaurs moved slowly! It seemed scarier and more suspenseful. Glad that (even though I loved the color of Jurassic Park 1) Jurassic Park 2 was darker and the creatures looked scarier I thought. Jur. Park 3 was more like the older dinosaur movies also - but like I said - I liked the brilliant color of Jur. 1.

  • You see, modern films now are just running on stupid ideas. Avatar, Twilight, 2012, you know the stuff. We dont want new films, we want the old ones! Could you imagine how cool this film would be if they did a remake today with the budget they used for Clash of the Titans? Give us remakes!

  • "The battle of the great stegosauri!" *Actually two Nile Monitor lizards playing*

    i love how they used people's ignorance to trick them. It's a damned shame you don't see that anymore.

  • @quinteiro123 If you thought that was cool, watch10(i think its ten) million years BC. The stop motion is cool, yea=s, but the first dion we see is an iguana.

  • The original looks great and this looks like it would make a terrific REMAKE!

  • I am only twenty, but I have seen this movie many times over and I have always had great appreciation older movies and anime and this particular movie is on my top ten list of it's class, it is an excellent Bmovie, it shall always remind me of movie nights with my parents at home. I realy, realy love the old classic Godzilla movies too, he is my favorite movie monster.

  • i cant wait till this comes out in Blu-Ray!

  • I absolutely love this movie, and everything about it gets an A+, except for the acting. The acting was just terrible.

  • jock mahoney was sally fields father.

  • This actually is a fun little film! Caught it with my dad some 40 years ago on one of those Sat afternoon monster movie shows & loved it! Managed to catch it now and again since, and always enjoyed it! I'm sure Mr. Spielberg also saw it, as he was a dino movie buff in his youth as well!

    As for the dinosaur roar... I'd stake my reputation that it was also the sound effect for the enraged Herman (speaking of The Munsters!) whenever he became really 'disapointed'!

  • The monster roar at 0:15 is the sound used at the end of Steven Spielberg's "Dual", when the truck goes over the cliff. Also, the head of that T-Rex making the noise was used as Spot in The Munsters! For not being very well known, this movie does have some history!

  • Haha, they even used real life komodo dragons for this movie.

  • That poor T Rex they show in the beginning would starve too death. His mouth goes all the way to the back of his head. There's no room for his throat he couldn't swallow his food.

  • i really want to see this...its a classic but it looks interesting :DD

  • @2009skyline Classic doesn't mean old. "The word classic means something that is a perfect example of a particular style, something of lasting worth or with a timeless quality." Therefore a classic would inherently be interesting.

  • @tobar1p Are you Dr. Spock?

  • @2009skyline

    Available on DVD - a SciFi Classics anthology released by Universal a couple of years ago.

  • the t-rex looks real.. hehe

  • thumbs up if you think that Universal should remake this

  • @BigJackFilms Actually, there was a 1975 film adaptation of a Edgar Rice Burroughs novel called "the Land That Time Forgot" which looks very similar to this movie. It stars Doug McClure, who Phil Hartman parodied on the Simpsons in the character Troy McClure.

  • Makes me want to see it. I mean, it looks bad, but a good, fun bad.

  • Промоутер в костюме динозавра улыбнул.. ему еще листовоки надо бы раздавать.

  • Huge carnivorous blond eating plants! I like the matte painted prehistoric landscapes, reminds me of Chesley Bonestell's art.

  • Never heard of this film,till we went to ,Torquay for our hols. There's a dinosaur exhibition near the harbour and towards the end,there's some old movie posters,stills etc including some for this film.

  • Why do blonde women always get attacked by killer plants?

  • @jb291266 Because they're gentleman killer plants!

  • almost everytime i saw the woman she was screaming

  • The Trex Head animatronics didn't look bad  for that time period.

  • @7DARKHELLS No "animatronics" in those days. Just crude mechanical puppet heads and guys in monster suits.

  • A great classic movie! If you haven't seen it, you've missed a treat!

  • I never heard of this film before, but it looks OK. I wonder if it was popular.

  • That tyrannosaurus head ended up as Spot the pet dragon under the stairs in The Munsters

  • I remember this as a kid..the dino gets his belly cut by the rotor blades and backs off.

  • I cracked at 0:25!!!! HAHAHA

  • 1:02 Tentacle xD .... LOL

  • Hey, did anyone else notice that this is the first movie to use the stereotypical monster roar? It's the one the T-rex does.

  • @Danzilla1996

    Where else was it used? I know quite a lot of monster movies, but don't recognize it.

  • @EstebanDiedrinho It's used at the end of jaws and duel, and is used in numerous video games. Also, there are variations of it used by numerous other creatures in movies (i.e. the balrog in the 1978 LotR, AND the watcher earlier, not to mention innumerable B-movies).

    Surprisingly common, also one of my favorite creature roars.

  • Saw this when I was a kid. It was actually quite awesome. I actually saw most of these old school dino movies because of this documentary I had featuring most of the trailers like this. 

  • This movie looks cool.

  • Almost feels like jurassic park .

  • Fabulous in Cinemascope:)

  • looks like a nice classic. the graphics are quite good fo the time

  • Even neflix doesn't have these 50's scfi classic movies. They are so much fun to watch after 50 years. Where are they?

  • This was not great, but it did have an engossing and original story which held together to the end.

  • i have to see this. JOCK MAHONEY, the greatest name in the world!real rap!

  • black and white works well for these old one's!

  • slurpasaurs and rubber critters blondes and cheesy acting

    pass the popcorn please

  • I thought I was the only person on the planet that actually remembered this movie ... it mostly didn't suck.

  • "A sight like this!!"

  • Joer como se parece esto a Parque Jurásico. Todo está ya inventado!!

  • Stegosaurus's played by; Herman the Komodo Dragon and Frankie the Monitor Lizard. T-Rex played by a guy in a rubber suit.

  • This actually looks like a potentially great science fiction classic. Doesn't it remind you of the first half of King Kong? Also, an Antartic prehistoric land was later used in X-Men...

  • @70alt1 I would say it's a forgotten classic, a great movie that's been left vastly under appreciated.

  • @70alt1 If only this production had hired either Willis O'Brien or Ray Harryhausen & had all of the dinosaurs,as well as the deadly plant,done via magnificent stop-motion FX.

  • LOL Apparently Stegosaurus looked like Komodo dragons and had no spike-plates at all. Also am I the only one who thinks that T-Rex actually looks more terrifying than the ones in jurassic park?

  • @ShadowSoldior nah. jurassic park ones are better.

  • i'd rather watch this than AVITAR

  • And back then people were like "Wow, it looks so REAL!" haha

  • nobody ever thought this was anything other than pure shit

  • LOL!

    0:41

  • There was something so creepy about these ol' dinosaur movies. I can't put my finger on it.

    The same thing with most B-movies. Also stop animation, like the original King Kong. Something about that herky-jerkiness and puppets being alive on the screen as monsters freaks the hell outta me.

    Modern dinosaur films portray the beasts as mere nature marvels as opposed to freakish horrors back in the day.

    We need a good dinosaur HORROR movie, to make dinosaurs scary again.

  • @JeffBM1 I agree 100%

  • @JeffBM1 Try watching JURASSIC PARK 3 (2002). If you arned freaked out in the first 25-minutes, NOTHING willl scare you!

  • I used to watch this movie on Fright Night on Channel 9, or Chiller Theatre or Creature Features on one of the many NY stations that had a complete library of sci fi classic films in the 1970s and 80s. I have it on VHS somewhere... Good saturday afternoon fun, some pizza, Dr. Pepper, and its heaven.

  • I used to watch it up near Boston on shows like: "Friday Night Fright night," and "Simon's Sanctorum."

    They played all the old classics. The Mummy, Dracula, and flicks like the one you see above..

  • Boston in the early 1970s had a lot of great SCI FI weekend movie shows, usally late Satruday night. We went up there a lot, as my sister went to Harvard, and Harvard law.

  • @Beamshipcaptain YES I remember it TOO

  • Thanks so much for posting this. I've been trying to remember the title of this movie for ages. I used to love it as a kid. The T-Rex looked strange (I was used to stop motion dinosaurs, lizards made to look big or Japanese suitmation), but I always thought he was pretty creepy.

  • "The battle of the great stegosauri" Hahaha!

  • Yes! Now I know! Thats Kraid's roar from the Metroid series!

  • This is pure art and excitement!

  • I dont know why , but there is something special about these old sci-fi moves ... and i dont mean the poor-by-today's-standards animation ...

  • I loved how the dinosaurs moved more slowly in old movies - Jurassic Park may be more realistic - but I don't think it was as scary (like The Land Unknown's

    Tyrannosaurus Rex).

  • land unknown's trex well at least to me seemed undead looking. By that I mean the eyes.

  • by "undead looking" do you mean like zombies have the undead look in their eyes?

  • yup with the eyes being glazed over.

  • @oriongirlfan Zombie dinosaurs? That's a movie I'd LOVE to see!

  • @kobakommander Yep - double threat look!

  • 1:00 King Koopa?

  • Westerners are real bad at desgining monster suits. The Japanese are pros at it. I mean, look at that T-rex, it's embarrasing.

  • that roar at the start! I know it from somewhere, but I just can't pick it out!

  • One of the Godzilla movies, perhaps?

  • could man have survive in the dinosaur age of mighty monsters?

  • WHAT SPECIAL EFFECTS!!!!!;

  • Actually that looks real creepy.

  • INTERESTING TRAILER!!!!

  • My favorite line from the picture (not in this trailer): "We're not digging our way out of here though human flesh!"

  • man i love these old movies

  • Oh, my God. That T-Rex was rockin'. Swamp monster too.

  • The head of the T-Rex costume was reused as the Munsters' pet "Spike," the dragon under the stairs, in the classic 60s TV show.

  • I loved that old fashioned Drama! especially the special effects that

    looked so terrifying then! but almost

    child like by todays standard. But

    there is still something about old movies that have more spirit and class.

  • erm, dunno if your short sighted, but todays effects are crap, they don't look real today. nothing terrifying.

  • wtf is that at 1:55

  • Looks like a re-use of the creature puppet from "The Giant Claw."

  • lol ye it does but i meant what type of dinosaur is it?

  • puppet from the giant claw why!

  • Timeless classics indeed! Grew up with alot of these movies...

  • I WANT THE T-REX!!!XD

  • Here's some real trivia!!! I know a guy in Hollywood (Bob Burns..he's been collecting sci-fi and monster stuff from the movies since like 1950) and he told me how the head from the Tyranasaurus (suit) in this movie was used as "Spot" the Munsters "pet under the stairs" in that tv series!!!!! Sure looks like him!!

  • @tombakerfx Bob Burns is a legend.

  • 1:00 bowser

  • no!

  • I was talking about the roar

  • that was actually bowser lol

    but in fact its kind of bold to put some

    lizard together and tout is as dinosaur;D

  • were there acturlly man eating plants?

  • I love this movie. The old 50's monster flicks are the best.

  • is this movie where they had a stampede of men dressed like dinosaurs and most of them collapsed due to heat?

  • OMG

  • i remember seeing this such a long long long time ago when i was a kid i can hardly remember it. but if i hadnt see this i probably would have forgotten about it all together

  • Stop it,do you hear me ,stop it,this doesn't sound like you!...LMAO

  • This is an almost forgotten movie.

    It's good to see a slice of it here on YT.

    Yeah..it's kinda hokey..but it is still watchable.

  • lol, giant monster roars at 0:14 and everyone just looks at it

  • 'That's how I roll!' hehe

  • The guy said, "That's how I rule them," actually. He's talking about how he controls the dinosaurs by blowing on a loud horn. How do you train a dinosaur, anyway?

  • Classic 1950's sci-fi!!! I love the eerie sets in this film...including the weird vegetation... some of which was actually grown upside down! Jock Mahoney did all of his own stunts in this film! A bit of trivia: Anyone know which famous actress was the daughter of Jock Mahoney???

  • If you're referring to Sally Field, Jock Mahoney was her stepfather, not her father. Sally's mother Margaret Field was Mahoney's second wife (he was married three times).

  • Love the way the girl at 1.15 is really distraght , but still manages to put on a leggy fashion pose !!!

  • I loved this movie as a kid. It used to play on Saturday afternoons frequently, on our Saturday Afternoon Monster Movie (Roch. NY). The man eating plant gave me the creeps the most, with its tentacles & watery/foggy "mouth" area. And I also remember the tense approach of that plesiosaur with the people on the raft trying to row away from it. Thanks for posting, good memories, I haven't seen this in millions of years! ha ha Cheers.

  • Holy shit, 0:59 that's Bowser's voice from Mario Kart 64, haha

    -E

  • bowser existed from these times? we all play his video games... im pretty sure he'd let us live in his castle for protection.

  • Oh, the HORROR@ lol

    -E

  • This was originally promoted by Universal Studios as a major science fiction event. It was supposed to be in color, have better special effects and actors, and a better director. But, as these things often go, Universal had a change of heart and withdrew most of the original budget. Even so, the film turned out pretty good.

  • hard to take the movie seriously though without laughing at some of the effects. its decent though, i'll give it that.

  • jayp28 i disagree with you i love 50's and 60's scifi and horror flicks!

  • these movies and a shake make for good times after a hard week

  • uf, after a hard month!

  • I love this kind of film, Irwin Allen must have been taking notes for his upcoming "Lost World" in 1960

  • Cool old flick with a lot of heart and soul.

    Don't you hate these nitwit 14 year olds that write "HAHAHAHAAHA" on everything? Yeah, like 5 extra "ha's" make a difference...

  • giant bird, t-rex, giant lizard, 2 wierd lizards, plants and plesisour, thats all the creatures i know

  • ya, jurassic park could learn a thing or two LOL

  • "oh we'll never get out of here"
