Trivia
The various actors who played the man-beasts had to report to make-up at three o'clock in the morning in order to be ready for their scenes. See more »Goofs
After the scene of the beast-men killing Moreau, while Sayer of the Law holds up his blood-stained hands in front of his face, one of them can be seen without the make-up and in the form of a natural human hand, rather incongruent with the other animal-like hand. See more »Quotes

"The Island Of Dr.Moreau" is the remake of the H.G. Well's 1933 Classic "Island Of Lost Souls". Burt Lancaster is great as Dr.Moreau. This is a very well done movie. The make-up of Tom Burman & John Chambers is outstanding. All of the creatures look very realistic. This is a movie that I would love to have on DVD. I never saw the other remake of this. But from what I have heard, it was pretty awful. Classic Lines:
What Is The Law? Not to walk on all fours.
What Is The Law? Not to shed the blood of another man. That is the law.....
