| Synopsis: In this sequal to the 1975 film The Land That Time Forgot, an expedition goes back to the prehistoric jungle in the Antarctic, returning to find washed up actor Doug McClure who was left by the first expedition....got that? No? Me either. But who cares, becauase 8 minutes into the movie there's a cheesy pterodactyl attacking a model of the Wright Brother's plane. After that, the group finds a clevage, I mean cavegirl, who tells them that Doug McClure is alive on the island and being held captive by a tribe of deformed barbarian samuri called the Naga. Now it's up to a bitchy Princess Leia look-a-like, a fat old British scientist, John Wayne's son, and a chesty cavegirl to rescue him. A non-stop bad special-effects smorgasbord from beginning to the climactic end battle with a dinosaur that's so lethargic you practically have to put your arm in his mouth for him to bite it. |

| Don't Quote Us On That: Number of times Goddamn or Goddammit is said in this film: 7 Major Ben McBride: "I don't give a damn about dinosaurs." Dr. Edwin Norfolk: "Pterodactyls are far more interesting than Germans." Dr. Edwin Norfolk: "It can only be one thing...Prehistoric." Major Ben McBride: "No dice, Bo." |
