    Fantastic and entertaining adventures full of monsters in a lost continent by Kevin Connor
    At the beginning of the film are reunited captain Lawton (Tony Britton) piloting his icebreaker , along with McBride (Patrick Wayne), Lady Cunningham (Sarah Douglas) and Norfork (Thorley Walters) , everybody undertakes an expedition to Antartic in search for Tyler (Doug McClure) who has been missing in that region for various years. The trio (Patrick Wayne , Sara Douglas, Thorley Walters) along with a plane pilot descend over a barren land and meet a primitive women (a gorgeous Dana Gillespie with amazing cleavage showing her boobs). They have to confront numerous risks , dangers, endure torrential landslide , volcano eruption , cavemen warriors, samurais , prehistoric animals and discover a lost tribe .

    This enjoyable adaptation results to be a special version of the Edgar Rice Burroughs adventure yarn . There's rip-roaring action, spirit of adventure, derring-do , thrills, and turns out to be quite amusing. It's a brief fun with average special effects , passable set decoration , matte painting , functional art direction and non use of computer generator. This fantasy picture packs thrills, action, weird monsters, lively pace and fancy scenarios. The monsters are the real stars of this production and its chief attribute. The tale is silly and laughable but the effects and action are acceptable . Among the most spectacular of its visuals there are a deeply shrouded cavern full of skulls roaring menacingly towards the camera, a little tableau comprising attack of a giant monster in a cave, and the futuristic backgrounds of the nasty headquarter .Highlights of the adventure includes a roller-coaster trip, appearance of prehistoric reptile such as Pterodactilus, Stegosaurius, Tiranosaurious and some horsemen dressed Samurai-alike riding out from mountain throughout horizon . In addition, the final scenes where appears a grotesque executioner played by David Prowse (Darth Vader), a dwarf and usual villain chief and several others. Some illogical parts in the plot are more than compensated for the excitement provided by Roger Dicken's monsters, though sometimes are a little bit cheesy and primitively made . Filmed in glimmer cinematography by cameraman Alan Hume on location in Santa Cruz De La Palma (Canary Islands) and Pinewood studios , England. Adequate and thrilling musical score by John Scott. This is the fourth collaboration between producers John Dark, Max Rosemberg and director Kevin Connor who also made in similar style : ¨ Land that time forgot¨, ¨All the Earth's core (76)¨, ¨Warlord of Atlantis (1978)¨, mostly starred by Doug McClure and with Roger Dicken as the monster-maker. The film will appeal to kids who swallow it whole and sit convulsed in their armchair.
