Has any1 seen this ancient movie?? Its story actually begins aboard a WWI uboot sinking a merchant ship, then it gets pretty cheesy. But i definately like the first few minutes when they are insdie the UC sub ready to sink the merchant ship..

A U-Boat, dinosaurs and Doug McClure. Who could ask for more? I remember reading the Edgar Rice Burroughs book as a kid before seeing the movie which came out in 1975. Found it a little hard to believe a group of lifeboat survivors could so easily take over a U-Boat and then unintentionally end up sailing it to a unknown island in the Antarctic. Entertaining enhough for the time if you didn't take your science-fiction too seriously. Cool

By the way I got a kick out of the "Seaview" type windows on the submarine in this movie poster. Must be artistic license. They weren't on the sub in the film. Laughing

Yea I remember this one a bit. Saw it about 8 years ago. Sweet how they could kill a T-Rex with just a couple of rifles, makes me wonder why only one dude in Jurassic Park had a gun.

Is that manta ray looking thing shooting a LASER BEAM at the sub???

I used to LOVE the "Lost World"/"Center of the Earth" type books. I remember a pretty good choose your own adventure one as well (something about a black sun at the center of the earth).

I seem to recall a scene where Doug McClure launched a torpedo from the control room by himself. You can't do that, can you? (Don't you have to give the order from the Control Room, and then someone in the Torpedo Section launches it for you?) Guess the writers played too many sub arcade games. (Remember those?)

Saw it in the theater when it was new. It was okay, but I liked the book better.
