Did You Know?
| Trivia | The villain, Dr. Eric Kiviat, is loosely based on Dr. Roy Mackal (University of Chicago)-- biologist, engineer, teacher and biochemist--and his voyages to Africa in search of the legendary living dinosaurs of the Congo, Mokele-Mbembe. Mackal's 1980 Congo trip with fellow cryptozoologist James Powell was featured in Dragons, Dinosaurs and Giant Snakes (1980). See more » |
| Goofs | Susan occasionally smokes on the job. A good archaeologist/anthropologist/naturalist would never do this, as the cigarette ash would contaminate the pristine environment. See more » |
| Movie Connections | Featured in The Aviator/Mask/Sylvester (1985). See more » |
| Crazy Credits | Despite having a logo for Touchstone Pictures at the end, the film's copyright credits Walt Disney Productions. See more » |
