Trivia

Michael Moorcock has said his original script was faithful to the book. But the last 20 minutes were changed by the producers to include the volcano and caveman attacks on the Tyler's men and destruction of the submarine. See more »

Goofs

Anachronisms: In the opening scene where the fisherman plucks the message bottle from the water, a 1960s-70s steel hulled trawler, complete with radar antenna is seen to pass him in the background. See more »

Quotes

Bradley: Caprona has damn little respect for guns, Mr. Tyler.
Captain Von Schoenvorts: No, there's nothing wrong with our shooting, gentlemen. In primitive nervous systems like this allosaurus, even a fatal wound might register in the brain with a delayed action. As your saying would have it, this "chap" was late for his own funeral.
