TIme Should Not Forget 
2008-08-15
This are two of the best Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Action Movies made in the 70s, they are still as good today as when they came out the first time. I am happy to have found them together on one DVD. I really enjoyed watching several times since I bought the DVD. I highly recommend that anyone who loves good 70s moves with prehistoric creatures and "cavemen & women" buy these movies.

The special effects are cheesy, but I still really like these movies and getting two for one just makes it that much of a better deal.
the land that time forgot and the people that time forgot 2008-06-12
This is a great sci-fi and fantasy double feature that should be considered to be classics.
Double your pleasure... 2008-06-07
Those GREAT double features need your support. Sure some of them
are QUITE campy. Some of them may never make it past a second, or
a THIRD viewing. But sit back. Close your mind. Open your eyes and
go back a few years before digital effects made EVERYTHING possible.
Watch the impossible. Check out those guys in the rubber dinosaur
suits and be a kid with peanuts floating in your 6-ounce Coke bottle.
Chomp on the 5-cent Hershey Bar-- or the dime Chunky Chocolate, and
be a kid again. What the hell... it's ONLY money, and the world's gonna
end in 2012-- half-way through the guy you DIDN'T vote for's FIRST
administration.
Enjoy life NOW... Before YOU forget! Do it before it's TOO late!
The SEQUEL might be: "The PRESIDENT That Time Forgot" !
LANDS AND PEOPLE TIME FORGOT 2008-05-02
THE FILMS 'THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT' AND 'THE PEOPLE TIME FORGOT'ARE CORNY BUT GOOD FUN IN THE 'LOST WORLD' STYLE THAT WAS AROUND PRE 'JURASSIC PARK'. AS IN 'ONE MILLION YEARS BC'THE HEAVING BOSOM OF THE CAVE GIRL IS AN ADDED BONUS.

When Doug McClure ruled the Saturday Matinees... 2007-12-28
Before Luke Skywalker, there was Doug McClure... His John Dark-Kevin Connor fantasy adventures were a mainstay of Summer holiday movies in the days before Star Wars: they weren't masterpieces, they didn't boast state-of-the-art special effects, but they were exactly what an audience of kids wanted from a film back in the mid 70s.
The poster for The Land That Time Forgot made it look like this was going to be the greatest film ever made when I was a kid - dinosaurs, U-boats, cavemen, erupting volcanoes and Doug McClure: how could it NOT be great? Well, this being the mid-70s, the crummy special effects in the form of Roger Dickens' prehistoric puppets that don't exactly give Jurassic Park a run for its money. But still, this low-budget adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' terrific adventure novel does have some good ideas in its script as well as dinosaurs, U-boats, cavemen, erupting volcanoes and Doug McClure, so it's not a total wash, and compared to the incredibly poor sequel, The People That Time Forgot, which threw away all that was best about the premise, it's still fun, if somewhat muted. And it has a really great poster.
The People That Time Forgot was barely released, and it's not hard to see why. Filmed on the cheap - this time round there are few dinosaurs, glove puppet or otherwise - it drags on forever to little effect. With McClure reduced to a cameo, the film focuses on the rescue mission led by Patrick Wayne, Sarah Douglas and Thorley Walters but apart from Dana Gillespie's spectacular cleavage and an okay score from John Scott, there's not much to recommend it. Look upon it as a bonus feature to the original.
What A Great Package Of Films MGM Thank You. 2007-10-30
This is a great package of two fun classic films: The Land That Time Forgot/The People That Time Forgot. Just wonderfully presented here on DVD. Well worth your hard earned money for a B-Movie Night Fest anytime you feel in the mood. The Transfers for both films are excellent bright and vivid to see. this pre- CGI so the effects are a little dated, but still entertaining to watch. actually i'd take the effects of old over the effects we have now, because at times it does get tiresome to watch computer graphic effect films and one long for old school effects even with the mistakes at times.
Both Films Are PG For Lauguage and Violence.
The First One: The Land That Time Forgot is PG For Mostly Violence which is tame by today's standard of films, but contains no lauguage. The Second one: The People That Time Forgot has Lauguage and Violence/Sword Play And Things Blowing Up, But both are worry free for family viewing just thought you should know.
But It's All In Good Fun. reminds me of when films were loose and carefree and fun to watch.
Highly Recommended Films.
P.S. It would be nice if Warlords Of Atlantis was Available On DVD To Finish the Trilogy Of films.
Lost Point 2006-02-26
Moorcock said they took the writing assignment because they thought ERB's idea was good -- about an island where evolution goes through all the stages from reptilian to advanced human in a single lifetime. They wrote it to reflect this idea, but it is obvious from the reviews that the director buried the idea in favour of a volcanic eruption and other cliches. Moorcock refused to work on the second movie after he saw what they had done to the first. He understood that they would stick to a script he had done with the approval of the Burroughs estate. However the producer, John Dark, reneged on the agreement and the result is what we now have, still with a shadow of the original there if you look for it. Evidently, from the reviews, few noticed that there was a fairly funky plot buried in the finished first movie! The second movie is typically dumb, written by Amicus staffers.
Two films that the public forgot. 2006-02-06
PLOT:
The Land That Time Forgot (1975): The story begins in June of 1916. World War I is raging on land as well as in the water. A German submarine controlled by Captain Von Schoenvorts (John McEnery) spots a British warship and torpedos it. Two of the survivors are Bowen Tyler (Doug McClure) and Lisa Clayton (Susan Penhaligon), civilians. Pretty soon they discover that some of the British officers survived as well, including Captain Bradley (Keith Barron). The survivors watch the submarine come out of the water and devise a plan to hijack it. They row the lifeboats over to the sub and successfully take the German crew hostage. Tyler commands the crew to sail due West to the United States. After 6 days, no land turns up. Tyler discovers that the Germans placed a magnet next to the compass, and that they had really been traveling south for 6 days. This means they are actually near South America. They find an island surrounded on all sides by ice and rock. The only way in is through an underwater cave. Captain Von Schoenvorts believes this to be a legendary island known as "Caprona". The two crews realize that on this island, the war means nothing. They decide to put their differences aside, cooperate with each other, and explore the island. Once inside the island, the crews realize that Caprona is a lost world of dinosaurs and cavemen. The biggest question is, "Will they get out alive?"
The People That Time Forgot (1977): Tyler's message in a bottle is found off of the coast of Scotland at the end of 1917. A year later, an expedition is formed to find Tyler and the island of Caprona. The expedition includes Tyler's boyhood friend Maj. Ben McBride (Patrick Wayne), Lady Charlotte Cunningham (Sarah Douglas), Dr. Edwin Norfolk (Thorley Walters), and pilot Hogan (Shane Rimmer). They take a ship to the island, then fly a plane to get inside it. The plane is attacked by a Pterodactyl and crashes. Hogan stays with the plane to fix it. The other three decide to go off and explore. The explorers see many of the dinosaurs that Tyler described in his letter. They eventually come across a cavegirl named Ajor (Dana Gillespie). Ajor speaks English and tells them that Tyler taught her how to speak it. She also says that Tyler was taken prisoner by a group of mutants. The four travelers then set out to find him, with hopes that he is still alive.
COMMENTS: These two films are based on a trilogy of books by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the creator of Tarzan. The storyline is awfully similar to Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Lost World." Both films were directed by Kevin Connor and featured Doug McClure as Bowen Tyler. The special effects are ridiculous by today's standards, but the stories are pretty cool. Look out for a cameo appearance of David Prowse (Darth Vader himself) as the executioner in the second film. These films are great for anyone interested in dinosaur or adventure films. Kevin Connor also directed another Burroughs adaptation called "At The Earth's Core" (1976), the first story of the Pelucidar series. It was released between the other two films and also featured Doug McClure in the starring role. Many people mistake this film for being another sequel, but it is unrelated to the other two films.
