    Storyline

    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.
    • Goofs
      At the opening of the film a reporter says he's from the B.B.C. and is at London Airport which is confirmed by a large sign on a grass bank saying 'London Airport' in which case why are all the vehicles seen American.
    • 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!
