Trivia
Thanks to the money guzzling Cleopatra, the film company that put it out was forced to cut back their budget for other films like this one. Irwin Allen (director of this B grade epic) was forced to use real reptiles as dinosaurs instead of stop motion. See more...
Revealing: When the two dinosaurs are fighting besides the cliff, Malone and Jennifer Holmes hide behind a rock overlooking the cliff. One of the dinosaurs sweeps its tail, and knocks the two lovebirds over the cliff, but they fall onto a rock jutting out from the cliff. After we see them fall, there is a wide shot of the dinosaur swinging its tail. He swings it one way, then the other. After he swings it the first way, the tail freezes in mid-air for a split second, then swings the other way. It's obviously the same shot of the first tail swing, but played in reverse with a pause in between.
Revealing: When the dinosaurs roll off of the cliff at the end of the fight scene, there's a closeup shot of Malone and Jennifer Holmes, and the dinosaur's tail as it falls. The problem is that it's obviously stock footage from the previous shot when the dinosaur's tail knocks Malone and Jennifer off of the cliff.
Revealing: When the two dinosaurs are fighting, they don't seem to be of any weight. They're banging against the ground, and none of the trees shake, and almost no sand is disturbed. Also there is no loud gutteral banging from them hitting the ground. There is no indication that they are any heavier than five pounds on a cheap miniature set.
Revealing: We all know that the dinosaurs FX in this movie are achieved by glueing horns, gills, and spikes to modern day lizards and reptiles, like baby alligators and the kinds you would buy at the pet store. But sometimes, it's too obvious. Especially in the fight between the two dinosaurs. The one sports a triceratops-like hood, which in real life was made out of a bony substance. But in the movie, it's wobbling like flimsy rubber.
Revealing: During the fight between the two dinosaurs, one of the dinosaurs swings its tail, knocking Jennifer Holmes and Malone over the cliff, then there's a wide shot of its tail swinging. The trouble is that when the tail hits the two lovebirds, it changes color from the wide shot due to bad matting effects.
Factual error: The plateau blows up because of a volcanic explosion, but the explosion looks nothing like a real eruption. First of all, the plume would be a darker colour, mostly dark grey, and second, the explosion would fly out of the tube the group came out of, so they should still be running, not resting. Also, there would be danger from pyroclastic flow, and lava runoff.
