The Land That Time Forgot/The People That Time Forgot (DVD, 2005)

loved this movie as a kid, and its old but for me it takes me back, i had my mom rent this one for me all the time, this was before dvd.

the other movie has a hot chick in it, it's the only good thing about the movie.

Like the fact that you get both movies on one DVD
Saved money, time & shipping cost
Good quality
Format correct (Widescreen)

REMEMBER SEEING THESE AT THE DRIVE-IN DURING MY TEENAGE YEARS. BROUGHT BACK A LOT OF GOOD MEMORIES IN A BETTER TIME.

This is a great double feature dvd.THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT is about a american who is on a british merchant ship that is sunk by a ww1 german uboat and then ends up on that uboat with some of the british crew.They end up on land that the dinosuars still live. Great acting in this move thought the special effects are dated. The people movie takes up were the land movie left off and is about a mission to save two people who are still alive.

This was a great seller. The dvd winning bid was acknowledged quickly and I received the dvd in great time. I would buy from this seller again.

Doug McClure was a good actor from the middle of the 20th century. This movie had decent special effects for the time and was based on a fascinating book.

I love the idea behind MGM's MIDNITE MOVIES. A double feature of those forgotten B-gems of the 50', 60's and 70's. The best thing is they are pretty cheap. I boought a bunch of them on Ebay (from MovieMagicUSA) for less than $6.00!!!

I remember seeing THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT when I was a young teenager. Back then, there was a small chain of movie theaters in Montreal (Cinémas 5 Étoiles) that showed 5 science fiction/adventure/monster movies for a dollar!

This was a time when my favorite actors were guys like Doug McClure, Rod Taylor, Jeff Chandler, and the westerns of Audie Murphy... Forgotten heroes, often dismissed as second-rate action stars when compared to the big legitimate names like John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster and other he-men of the good old days.

You would never even dream of seeing the great "Duke" Wayne in a movie like LAND THAT TIME FORGOT, althought his son Patrick was the star of the sequel included on the same dvd (THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT). No, this was a job for Doug McClure! He gave it his best and made you believe he was really fighting for his life against those rubber dinosaurs.

I recommend this dvd for all those 40-something boys who grew up on those "classics" B-movies gems. Special effects are not as bad as you would think. In fact, the great Derek Meddings (from the James Bond movies and the Gerry Anderson sci-fi series) worked on the special effects for THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT doing a more than decent job (probably with a very dismal budget too!). Fantasy master storyteller Michael Moorcock worked on the script (based on the story from Edgar Rice Burroughs of course).

Director Kevin Connor and his star Doug McClure did pretty well in the victorian sci-fi genre because they worked for 3 other movies of the same type after THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT (1975): AT THE EARTH'S CORE (1976, also based on a Edgar Rice Burroughs), THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT (1977, appropriately featured here on the same DVD), and WARLORDS OF ATLANTIS (1978). It's too bad this last movie has yet to be made available in DVD format. It would have been the perfect choice to co-feature with AT THE EARTH'S CORE on another MIDNITE MOVIES program. Instead, MGM choose to ignore the obvious match and strangely paired AT THE EARTH'S CORE with a movie weirdly similar in style and themes as WARLORDS OF ATLANTIS called WAR GODS OF THE DEEP (1965 directed by Jacques Tourneur and featuring Tab Hunter and Vincent Price)

I liked the qwuality of the packaging. Excellent color (better than my old VHS copies). Both films loosely based on E. R. Burroughs' books of the same title.bThe first (with Doug McCure) is closer to the book than the sequal (with Patrick Wayne and McClure). McClure was a vetran at this B mivie type sci-fi fantasy adventure genre and is more comfortable than Wayne (who does exhibit a bit of boyoish charm but whose character is somewhat churlish). The monsters are of the Harryhausen variety and are acceptavble for 30 years ago, but would not pass muster today given all the tech advances. All in all both i found to be enjoyable.

The effects are to be expected for the time (plenty of close-ups with plastic dinosaurs or lizards with horns glued on), but they don't detract at all from a very engaging adventure. The storyline is actually quite good, and the story is a fun one to follow. It is just as enjoyable as I remember as a child.

You have everything you need in a movie: War enemies forced to work together, cavemen, dinosaurs, and even a few cave women in furry bikinis. Not quite cheesy enough for me to consider it a "B" movie, but no Emmy-winning epic either. All in all, this is a pair of excellent Saturday afternoon "popcorn flicks".
