Trivia[]

  • Some of the scenes have been reproduced from Willis O’Brien’s “The Lost World” with special permission from Kodascope Libraries, Inc.
  • During the fire scene, a person can be seen hiding in the grass as a Brontosaurus runs by (this is erroneous, as humans and non-avian dinosaurs were not contemporaries).
