Did You Know?
| Trivia | One of the last screen credits for Willis H. O'Brien who was the mastermind behind the special effects for the original King Kong (1933). O'Brien's input was largely restricted to hundreds of conceptual sketches for the dinosaurs. Budget limitations meant that none of them were realized on film. See more » |
| Goofs | When the explorers encounter the dinosaur in the "Cave of Fire," the wires holding the monster upright can be seen. See more » |

| Quotes |
Professor George Edward Challenger:
[to the people at the Zoological Institute]
I have seen these creatures with my own eyes. Curupuri. To the Indians, creatures of the supernatural. And well they might be. For we know them as gigantic creatures of the long dead Jurassic period. In other words: live dinosaurs! See more » |
