What film was the mutant escape lifted from?


It is painfully obvious that when the mutants are set free that they spliced in footage from some other film. The costumes, people etc. look nothing like the ones in the rest of the film.

It almost looks like it could have been a film set in biblical times, a scene where the slaves are set free.

It was pretty funny, actually. There are like 100 mutants coming up the stairs, and maybe a dozen make it to the fight scene, all nice and clean in their coveralls. I'd like to know where they got the footage also.

Very funny. Not only did the mutants in the stock footage not resemble the mutants in the rest of the movie, even the film itself didn't - grainy and blurred, it was obviously much older than 1960.

I, too, would like to know where that footage comes from.

From Wikipedia:

American International Pictures (AIP) added footage to the mutant uprising sequence from their film Journey to the Lost City. One mutant was played by the screenwriter Arthur C. Pierce. Pierce was involved in the production and worked as an assistant editor.
