this is indeed a favorite of mine, and fairly unique from other dinosaur movies I have seen and since discovered.
This may also be the earliest one I saw (I think I saw the Raquel Welch cave movie or the one similar to it with all the cave people going 'laketa' when I was very young).
But this one is really very unique compared to the others.
I have the three Doug McClure dinosaur flicks, Land that Time Forgot, People That Time Forgot and At The Earth's Core (my shamed favorite here), and upon finding Land Unknown online, I also found two other 'gems'.
One with Cesar Romero, Hugh Beaumont and John Hoyt with what look like toy dinos killing each other (all vicious dinos are herbivores) then I got the older one with Virginia grey, which consisted of pretty much shades of King Kong vs. Godzilla.
I liked Land Unknown so much, when I searched for it on Ebay, I found a British comic book from the late fifties and bought that sucker too!
"This may also be the earliest one I saw (I think I saw the Raquel Welch cave movie or the one similar to it with all the cave people going 'laketa' when I was very young)."
The one with Raquel Welch is One Million Years B.C. (1966). The one with the cave people yelling "Akita!" all the time is When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth (1970), starring Victoria Vetri (aka Angela Dorian). They're both pretty silly.
All the universe . . . or nothingness. Which shall it be, Passworthy? Which shall it be?
yes it is!When there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...
