[AveEvropa]

For 1925 it's AMAZING.

[ZandDmovies]

@AveEvropa for 1925 it was Unbelievable

[dltanner99]

Cryptozoology novel about two boys who find something strange on a beach one night see video book trailer

[Javier23gol]

Do you know that Steven Spielberg did a remake of this film?? The Movie is called The Lost World: Jurassic Park also known as Jurassic Park II

[AnimorphOfCrystal]

@Javier23gol Actually, thats just using the same name. This is a different story not part of the Jurassic Park series.

[Javier23gol]

@AnimorphOfCrystal Yes but they remake the scene that the dinasours are on the city

[AnimorphOfCrystal]

@Javier23gol guess so, but in jurassic park, wasn't it a t-rex instead of an apatosaur?

[Javier23gol]

@AnimorphOfCrystal Ohh thanks for the info, Is just that I read that on Wikipedia an It says that Jurrasic Park II was a remake of that film. Sorry my bad :/

[AnimorphOfCrystal]

@Javier23gol thats fine. after all, you can't always trust wikepedia.

[cdlsd]

Today, we think we have amazing special effects, and back then those effects were "cheesy." Well, a hundred years from now, their going to think that out special effects are "cheesy," or at least I think they will, considering that by then they will be far more intelligent. But back then, I bet they called that "amazing" special effects... Oh, who am I kidding? the world will end in 2012, so there there aren't 100 years left... (just kidding about the last part)

[mybluebelly]

THAT SHIT WAS HALARIOUS! XD

I CAN TELL THE MOVIES GONNA BE AWSOME NOW! XD

[aips0]

I love the book!

[CRICKET999999999]

speacial effects mean nothing if you have no good plot, script or actors. That's why I watch these kind of movies, when unless they gave the people something great, they'd switch back to radio

[LegoKing345]

i bet e en ppl laughed at this in 1925!

[bolengerin]

This is what avatar will look like in 85 years!

[blertdrax]

Effects are actually pretty damn good for 1925.

[LIbertyorDeath419]

Willis O Briens work - which took years to complete - is still way more entertaining than the CGI crap being released nowadays.

[gamera77]

Nice to see the complete version. Do you know why on the 2007 Fox DVD (the one with the 1960 version) this trailer is made of freeze frames? Didn't Fox have access to the complete version?

[SonicThunderBYG]

Who can deny that this is one of the greatest silent films ever, and one of the most ground-breaking films of all time!

[retrogamer1230]

An amazing move, stop motion is awesome

[theFREEmenuCOM]

fantastic trailer... curious to know if it really took 7 years to make, that would be kinda sad

[ejl1000]

@theFREEmenuCOM Likely so. Let's not forget, this was the 20s. CGI was a thing of imagination in those days. The special effects team had to animate the dinosaurs frame-by-frame.

[sutjas16]

I actually prefer these stop motion effects over CGI it just doesn't have the same heart and it's a lot more interesting knowing everything was made by hand.

[TenderTrap86]

@sutjas16 I wholeheartily agree. Stop motion is more like a work of art than a striving for realism. Just like you know the Mona Lisa won't start laughing when you look at it, we all know these creatures aren't real. But they look beautiful. True artisitc value has been replaced by an adolescent yearning for realism. But that realism comes at a price because some CGI effects look really crappy after a few years.

[mooveetraylaguy]

I saw this movie and I must say...the ending sucked. In the book, they bring back a pterosaur, which escapes and flies back to the plateau. That makes sense. BUT, being that this is Hollywood, they had to make it BETTER by bringing back a Brontosaur (as it's called in the movie). Basically it escapes, and we must assume it swims across an ocean and climbs back up the plateau. Terrible ending, but the rest is okay.

[Adaisey]

I like silent movie

[joexer1]

...this is so old and what a brontosaurus eating a raptor?!!!!!!!!!!

[TenderTrap86]

I heard that Wilis O'Brien fooled a people for a some people by telling them that the dinosaurs in the film were real and that it was actuall footage!

[norsketown]

Is the music from the trailer or did you edit it into the vid? I mean, it has such great quality for 1925.

[SabotaiBagatur]

I did not do the music, but it probably is modern. Most silent films you can find on DVD have modern soundtracks added (that do their best to mimic the sound and style of music in the 1920s).

[ptarisaur]

im 11 and i love this movie

[RidgeShark]

Beautiful trailer. It's great to see how these silent films were marketed back in the old days. An entertaining film for those who are open-minded enough to give it a shot.

[0NauGhT0]

EPIC FAILURE of dinosaur representation...equally sized rexes and aptosaurs eatting each other...looks hilarious...this movie must b fucked wen u'r high

[DaBossk]

lol i remeber watching this when i was little i like the black guy. heh

[Thunderdome616]

this was remade in 1960 and there was a 2001 version from the BBC

[therockhopper]

Take a look at the shot at 1:12. When you see Pixar's "Up" you will see one of their inspirations.

[lilygirlrules]

i wonder why back then they always had to use stop motion. probably because they didnt exactly have the cameras we do today

[alaindiazaran]

hahaha this movie must be aweful i mean i love the lost world 1997 is a great movie but this movie is too goddamn old look at the dinosars they look like shapes made of wax

[pavelns]

shut up its great

[codename617]

that one was based on Michael Crichton's The Lost World, his only sequal to any of his novels. Of course there were ideas from Author Connan Doyle and his book as well.

-Bringing back Ian Malcom from the dead (Doyle, unwillingly brought Sherlock Holmes back from the dead due to poluar demand)

-writing about a place with dinosaurs (exluding fences and park rides and such)

-The trailers were named "Challenger, like the professor from Doyle's book.

[BobbyProFilms]

if they made a remake of this movie i would shit my pants, it would be a dream come true

[Leto85]

Steven Spielberg did in 1997.

[BobbyProFilms]

noo well ye kinda the same thing but with a different story line

[ThatKidJoel]

the BBC (englands equivalent of fox if your american) made a remake of this exact lost world in 2001, it was very good, I have it on special edition DVD, shop around for it

[modoflowe]

they are only the same in name

[BobbyProFilms]

whats tht crazy thing it does with its mouth at 2:53

[MAYFLY01]

I downloaded the whole film of The Lost World (1925) from a torrent a couple of days ago and I have only just watched it. It really is a classic! It had portugese subtitles with the one I downloaded, but that doesn't matter. It's great, it came before any other monster film. The guy who did the effects for this also did the effects for the original King Kong, another awesome film. The special effects are brilliant to say they were done in 1925. Definatley worth watching: 5 stars!

[meygar]

I cannot find this trailer on DVD anywhere. The only one out there is on the remake (1960) DVD and it is terribly edited and with still frames. Does it exists somewhere?

[cujocujocujocujocujo]

Buy the whole movie.....

[johnpatrickbear]

nice to see so many folks enjoy them today

[tgators67]

This movie influenced the making of Jurassic Park.

[FragileZeroSpace]

To think that CGI (the useless pile of crap that it is) will one day look as vintage as this. I will always perfer this style of effects over cg and digital work. Tangibility is a plus. This was perfected in King Kong and Beast from 20000 Fathoms.

[gettotheGate]

All in all, CGI was used because it wasn't as complicated to work with and pefect movement with. and not all CGI is bad. when it's mixed fluidly with live action, for example Walking with Dinosaurs, it's pretty good. the problem is, most producers or whatever don't want or care to put the time and money into this (*cough*SciFichannel*cough*), which, I think, is why it has gotten a bad rap.

[TekinsSlayer]

The stop motion in this and King Kong were actually made by the same dude... Willis O'Brian. He was a true movie master for his day.

[SAURIOCOOPER]

excelent movie.. in that time... is great! but the only thing that i hate is that .. always the dinosaurs or monsters are bad and angry, but.. the movie and the dinosaurs, hehe really... its great!and very funny

[MightyAlz]

People's bollocks must have just dropped to floor when seeing this in 1925.

[aryez5]

King Kong (1933) and The Lost World (1925) are the two best old dinosaur movies ever! but i like more king kong, but we are talking about king kong was made 8 years later

[CLethal]

2:59...the greatest statement ever

[Critterm8tor]

is this real?

[DbzAndTitanicLover]

yepp a old and good movie

[retromaster2000s]

My ass is cheesy this is the same special effects techniques pioneered in King Kong (1933) using Stop-Motion Animation this is a Classic & Master of Special Effects I have this DVD too. Great Trailer.

[ThePersecutor]

Fantastic! Thank you for posting this!

[MissMichalchuk]

Actually these "cheesy" effects is the reason we have amazing special effects today.

;] I like the look of this.
