Goofs

About eleven minutes into the movie, Professor Challenger is addressing the Royal Zoological Society and is approaching the speakers table from the back of the room. Looking over his shoulder you can see the ceiling on the underside of the balcony at the back of the room. There are modern (1980's to 1990's) fluorescent lighting fixtures on that ceiling, even though the movie is set in 1912.

Doyle's Professor Finally Appears

There isn't anything to add regarding most of the production values or plot summaries that hasn't been addressed earlier.What impressed me was our hero,the bold Professor George Edward Challenger- an outstanding portrayal by an outstanding character actor.The original character,as conceived by Doyle,is truly larger than life.Bold,brave,arrogant,brilliant,insightful,virile,unscrupulous when attaining his goals,humorous,and reckless,and resourceful.John Rhys-Davies epitomizes this character without a flaw.(Brian Blessed is the only other actor I can imagine pulling it off,but the portrayal would have had a gleefully sadistic element not in keeping.And Warner is a worthy foil-arch,pompous,equally arrogant and ereudite,yet possessing the same high level of scholarly integrity and brilliance.Watch this,not as great art(I don't think they ever intended it as such,but as a lot of fun.
