"The Land that Time Forgot" was actually a rather great camp classic of the 70s. The special effects in that film were just horrendous, yet the movie was nothing short of entertaining and superb when it comes to fun and energy. The sequel, titled "The People that Time Forgot" is also kind of a like a movie that time forgot. The special effects used on the dinosaurs are a bit better than those achieved in the prequel (yet the pterodactyls still can't move their wings at all!) The movie is fun to watch, yet people have almost forgotten it entirely this day.
"The People that Time Forgot" features the exact kind of cast that you would expect from a caveman-dinosaur flick. Adventurers, scientists, dinosaurs, cavemen, and volcanic eruptions. So it is pretty typical for a film of its type. Acting by the cast, including Patrick Wayne and Doug McClure, was well regarded in my opinion of the film. And the fights between the humans and the cavemen, as you see in a lot of films like this, they were just plain old good fun.
But what doesn't work about "The People that Time Forgot" that did work in "The Land that Time Forgot"? The sequel is just not full of the energy and originality that the first one had. And it just didn't have the overall feeling that the first one did.
