Pulp Imperialism: The Lost City, Chapter One

@3:37 look at his Knee-grow!

I like the part in a later chapter when the girl, Natcha, is making her way through the African jungle and is attacked by a tiger! Yes, a tiger. It must have escaped from the local zoo.

@RRaquello Good catch, I had noticed. There are at least 2 or 3 other serials or old features where they make a big deal about tigers being brought to Africa because they're not native to Africa. "It must have escaped from the Indian steamship that wrecked off the coast."

Also, our heroes remark "That sounds like a WHITE girl's voice!" when all they heard was her screaming! Unbelievable!

[rnigma]

Oh, man, the acting is horrible! Either they overact (like William "Stage" Boyd, who should have been called "Stagy"), or barely try to act!

Wow thanks for posting these Rob. I cant wait to see more if you can find them! Peace bro.

At one point the "black giants" are standing about, shuffling, hands frozen in a sort of cramp, grunting..

I'd love to have been there to see those actors when the director shouted "CUT" !

I imagine they would have been cracking up at the ludicrous costuming, wack afro wigs, and dialogue that consisted of "ugh ugh ugh"..

I'd love to see Dave Chappelle do a skit on this.

[deidzoeb]

LOL, I'd love to see Dave Chappelle remake "The Lost City" from the perspective of the Black Giants. Bet the mad scientist wouldn't last too long after Dave organized the Giants.

I wondered about that too, whether the black actors were just bad actors, or if they were following directions to scream for five minutes straight while they were dragged through the corridors of the Lost City. (Not that the white actors were any better.)

Pretty disturbing.

One hell of a taser...no wonder those guys obey the "Master"....must have fried their brains a little also...when I was a kid we would see that stuff at the movies....Flash Gordon was one of the more popular cliffhanger movie serials...they kept you coming back to spend another 25 cents each week...lol...

I didn't include the bit where they talk about putting their "subjects" in the "brain destroyer" first, enlarger second.
