Super fun fact about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. he may have been one of the 1st people to get under attack by "nerd rage" when he got tired of writing Sherlock Holmes (he tried so many times in fact to stop! but the public basically wouldnt let him.) After he wrote the first time Sherlock died, a woman apparently walked up to him and used her purse/bag as a weapon!
Fun Fact: John DiMaggio (Futurama, Adventure Time, Gears of War) provided dinosaur & ape-men vocals for the live Alien Voices production of The Lost Word. This was before his voice acting career took off with Futurama.
I think it's a bit of a sign of the times...I mean, one of the most common tropes about "lost worlds" is the meeting/clash of heroes (always Euro-American, or rather Anglo-American, with the occasional Frenchman) with ancient civilizations, or populations that live like tribals...apart from the whole discussion on the different perception of the wild as could still happen in the 1950s and what happened subsequently, also with the studies of anthropologists and ethnologists, the my opinion is that the disappearance of the lost worlds genre is also a sign that, on the map of the world, there are no longer any inaccessible places left, capable of igniting the imagination of readers or spectators (albeit with some exceptions, see the Disney stories with Uncle Scrooge of Barks, Don Rosa or Rodolfo Cimino). I don't want to be polemical or anything else, I want to clarify it: but this topic is one that has always tickled my mental palate and I like to discuss it in its implications (literary, social, etc.).
@@Toshiro93 Nah, even though the story has a lot of elements that need deep conversations about as you pointed out, truth is that people nowadays don't care for this type of story, the awe and magical feeling of this type of adventure is not seeing in modern audiences, people now prefer stories that are more character focused or have engaging enough plots, a tale about a group of people going through the jungle and randomly finding stuff is not captivating anymore.
@@CoracaoAcidental98 Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have no doubt that it is a simple (and banal) matter of lack of interest in this type of narrative. 😉
@@ExtremeMadnessX and what I’d LOVE is for them to keep it time accurate to the book. So when the group actually meets the animals they have a full on shock as to how these big lumbering moronic brutes are actually fast, agile, and beautifully horrifyingly intelligent (as opposed to how they’re seen them)
I'm actually planning my own adaptation of The Lost World as an audio drama. Of course, it won't be for a LONG while as I have other projects lined up before it. Wish me luck!
I feel like it is necessary to include The Lost World: Jurassic Park (film) in the list as the movie does act as a spiritual faux remake of the 1925 movie, especially since it also ends with a dinosaur tearing through the streets of a major city.
Crichton’s The Lost World is easily one of the worst books I’ve ever read to completion, and I only made it that far because I was eleven and at the time I would consume literally any literature if it had dinosaurs in it. I was unable to get more than a third of the way through it as an adult before Crichton’s painfully shallow understanding of paleontology, biology, and evolutionary theory drove me away. The awful movie-monster dinosaurs of the first book were bad enough, but The Lost World was terrible. At least the movie is kinda fun, even if not all that good.
I had an idea for an adaptation that is a spiritual sequel to Atlantis-The Lost Empire. Not sure why, i just see that particular style working for The Lost World.
If it matters, I picture the plateau only having dinosaurs that were native to South America. Carnotaurus, Argentinassurus, Giganotosaurus, and so on. Also, Challenger (SPOILER!) makes a hot air balloon outta some tar and Iguanodon hide. Of course it ends up working too well and the prototype he makes flys off. Suppose the natives happen about his notes and try their hand at recreating the ballon? Oh and Gomez. I’d like to keep him alive. For a while at least. He travels alongside Challenger, Malone, Summerlee and Roxton. Was thinking he causes Zambo to fall off the plateau on the initial climb (Zambo may or may not survive. I’d like to keep him in). When it is discovered diamonds are on the plateau, Gomez makes off with some, heads back to the log bridge and destroys it. He does the whole villain speech where he wanted to kill Roxton because he killed his brother and that his waiting for the right moment paid off cuz he plans on coming back to plunder the plateau of it’s resources and make a fortune. As he climbs down, he is swarmed by a bunch of tiny pterosaurs. As he swats them away, he loses his footing and falls to his death. Maybe a surviving Zambo could’ve went for help and he comes back with rescuers. This may or may not fly, but was thinking Malone makes friends with a native woman who is like Kida but wearing red. Her introduction I can picture vividly. Malone hears a woman scream as she is being chased by a predatory dinosaur. Before Malone can shoot it, the warrior woman dispatches it with a spear, saving the other woman. Thought I’d subvert the whole damsel in distress trope. I’m not saying they should fall in love, but it’d be there for the audience to decide. Plus it would give Malone incentive to return to the plateau. That’s my idea for an adaptation. Hope you guys like it.
Instead of existing dinosaurs, maybe go the route of 2005 King Kong and Dinosaur Summer where you incorporate speculative evolution with the dinosaurs and other creatures continue to evolve in isolation.
@@toonrex2806 at last. Thank you for replying. As for your suggestion, I’d agree with you on that. Considering the limited space, I think the biggest dinosaur might be an evolved Amargasaurus, while the biggest predator might be Giganotosaurus. I also imagine Carnotaurus on the plateau. Then there is the Iguanodon. I can also see a small ceratopsian relative living there (best I can think of is a Notoceratops). As for other creatures, I’d say Megatherium, Gastonis (or another terror bird), and gylptodon among others. I’m open to suggestions.
@@toonrex2806 just looking at this Maip, I think it looks great. It would be really fitting for The Lost World. I’d like to know what other dinosaurs or prehistoric fauna would be fitting.
The 1999 TV show is probably my favorite adaptation. I used to watch it in the mornings before going to school, and I definitely have a fond memory for it. It was probably one of the first TV shows that fueled my interest in adventure series
The fact that there is a Lost world play adaptation casted ENTIRELY BY STAR TREK VETS and I didn’t know about it makes me even more intrigued to find it now!
A very interesting video! I would like to point out, just for the sake of completeness, a Disney-style adaptation of Doyle's novel, published in the Italian magazine Topolino in 1995 (screenplay by François Corteggiani and drawings by Giorgio Cavazzano).
@@TVAVStudios To do this first I used the Google translator😅 ("Disney-style adaptation" was written as "adattamento in salsa disney"), let's say that it falls into the category of parodies/homages made by Italian Disney towards various works (I remember, just to stay at the panorama between the 19th and 20th centuries, the version with Mickey Mouse and Goofy of The War of the Worlds, which took up the older illustrations of the novel, both for the tripods and for the Martians themselves). Thanks for the appreciation!
@@SlapstickGenius23 I know, I was referring only to the parodies on lost worlds (and, expanding slightly, to those on adventure literature): even counting only Italian production (which I take as a reference, being Italian myself) there are many classics parodied or cited in over the years, even with mixes between different books.
I remember reading this book like two years ago and was so endeared to the characters (in Particular Roxton) but I literally audibly angry “YOU BITCH” when I read what she had done to poor Edward. I mean seriously. I was so angry after all he’d gone through just for her to have played petty… AND WITH WHOM. SHEESH

I'm glad to have helped in some way! Credits aren't necessary, but I'll leave that up to you. I'm just glad you liked the video. Good luck on your panel!
Funny thing is it's both the 1998 movie and the 1999 television series that are my favorite "adaptations". I know I've generally been more of a "faithful adaptation or it didn't happen" kind of person but something about both versions really caught my attention. I guess I really enjoyed the bloody horror of the 1998 movie, and as for the TV series, it was my absolute favorite 90s Adventure Show, and it still breaks my heart that it was cancelled. Unlike some other shows from the 90s, the writers actually had plans on how to end the series and from the sounds of it, it would have been glorious to behold. 🦖🦖🦖
I think Savage Land, which appears in the X-Men cartoon, is worth an honorable mention. I don't know if there's a direct relationship, but it's still the same premise.
Dinosaur Summer is a pretty neat book with some cool ideas. After the events of the original story there was a bit of a dinosaur craze, however by the late 1940's it's mostly faded away. Dinosaurs have just become another sort of animal to the general public. Taking the circus dinosaurs back up the plateau is as much as publicity stunt as it is trying to help the animals. The plateau is also pretty interesting, the reason it contains so many different animals from different periods is that is used to be several plateaus that are now mergeing. The big theropods are actually being outcompeted by terror birds, and there is a real sense that evolution has continued, a bit like Peter Jackson's King Kong, these are not just prehistoric creatues that never changed. It also has a fair amount of illustations in it as well, might make for a good video.
The 1998 version was one of my favourite movies as a kid. It was always on the horror channel here in the UK, back when it used to be called Zone Horror. I spoke with the actor who plays Malone in it, and he told me that while he enjoyed making it at the time, it isn't something he looks back on with fondness.
Man, the 1999 Lost World show was a great experience. It really needs a full review; though you might have to *ahem* hoist the Jolly Roger to watch it. Still, highly recommended. The pilot two-parter is as close to a book adaption as you can get, even tho Challenger doesn't attack Malone, as hilarious as it could be. Even while listening about these other adaptations, I know understand some of the Easter eggs that appeared in certain episodes. The intro alone gets you pumped up. The dinos are there, the ape men are, the other tribes are there, the lizard people tribe... And that first season cliffhanger ending is insane. Seriously, cannot recommend this series enough!
I definitely plan to grab the full series at some point and look at it more in depth. It's hard to do it in a video like this, considering the amount of topics that are being covered
@torvovenator It's so weird, I'm 36, a young, yet older adult and I'm living through the years that one century ago, my grandfather who passed away in 2004 grew up in. It f***s with my mind sometimes. To think the so-called Roaring Twenties were one century ago...
The references in Michael Crichton's the lost world were that the jeeps used for the expedition are called Challengers and that Crichton invented a scientist that investigated about TRex called Roxton
Your videos are always interesting and fun but this one was really good. As well as showing the twists on the core story, what is most interesting is how the movies progressed through the years. Can't wait for the next one.
I've always loved the Lost World since I was a child, I had the Ladybird classics version which was an abridged version of the book with nicely painted illustrations. Still have it though it is very battered. It also came with a cassette to listen to the story and read along with it.
It may not be an adaptation, but I was totally unaware of Osamu Tezuka's Lost World and now am really intrigued by it. His _Metropolis_ - and the anime version of it by Madhouse and Rintaro - is *amazing,* so I want to check this out too. I guess he had a period where he just did stuff with the same name as novels and movies he never saw, lol. I also kinda like the literal interpretation of the title, that it's part of the world that was lost and now re-emerges. That's kinda neat. Terrific video! Also, thank you for breaking it into parts. There are way too many creators who go hog-wild on their video essays and think it's totally acceptable to drop 2, 3 or even 4 hour videos! That's outrageous! People have school and work and life stuff going on; there are a zillion TH-cam videos out there! We can't dedicate crazy amounts of time to vids like that. A one-hour, or faster if you're like me and speed 'em up to 1.25x or 1.5x speed, are just right. So again, *THANK YOU* Dino Diego.
While its very appropriate to talk about the lost world jurrassic park, something else that caught my attention was the use of diamonds in some of the stories. Characters wanting diamonds also reminded me of Congo by Micheal Crichton.
I'm pretty sure as a kid I had a Ladybird junior version of The Lost World, the kids book i'm convinced used images from the 1960s comic as illustrations.
Your documentary is quite interesting and I myself am a blender animator of paleo life and I plan to make 3D animation of paleo life and make movies out of them and give audiences what they truly deserve where dinosaurs can be awesome, fun and more importantly accurate enough based on what we know about them today.
The one thing I have found to be quite odd, is that I've not been able to look up the actor that played Hammond in Return to the Lost World. No listing on Wikipedia or IMDB for him.
It's definitely one of my favorite books I've read for school. It may have some outdated perspectives, like with imperialism and colonialism, as well as scientific inaccuracies with the dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures living in that plateau. But it's still a great adventure story and you can see why this, and previous story (Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth) had an impact with dinosaur media as well as the adventure genre as a whole.
Find imagine the four explore were chased by a theropod dinosaur but the theropod dinosaur eventually slipped and fell off the edge of the plateau falling from a mile high ravine, landed on the ground level dead.
as a lifelong fan of the novel, i enjoyed your presentation very much. please consider reviewing the caspak trilogy by edgar rice burroughs i have the two-part french comics from 1990 and it's VERY faithful to the book. it takes place in south america as does the novel.
SLurpasaurs are are awesome as long as the animal wasn't hurt in the filming. But far too often they just had the animals fight to the death, so I get why they moved away from it.
The animals not fighting are just one part of the problem when it comes to Slurpasaurs. The other problem is that they just look like shit in general. I'll never understand anyone that would rather watch a lizard walking around as a "brontosaurus" over a stop motion model that actually looks like one
@@DinoDiego16 It depends on the budget of the project really. If it's a student film/low budget indie thing, I love it as a retro callback. If it's a Bmovie or even a blockbuster, oh god no. I want well done stop motion.
@@kyleellis1825 wait can we back up, they're called SLURPASAURS???? even cuter!! no but seriously if they're hurt of permanently effected by the costumes then i hate it. i just want them to have a nice cushy acting job and look fierce while doing it
The 1998 adaptation has a special place in my heart because I’ll always remember the VHS cover from blockbuster and the scene where Prof. Challenger hallucinates the Not-Tyrannosaur skeleton attacking him. Really interested in revisiting it honestly. I actually really love The Lost World novel by Crichton, honestly probably a bit more than the first book. Kinda interesting how the later Jurassic movies took bits from it.
@@DinoDiego16you right, my bad. I guess i was used to the more old man version from the slurpasaur version that they kinda just blended together in my mind
I love The Lost World of the 1960 despite the slurpasaurus. They should have made a book of their lizard-dinosaurs. (For example a Clamidosauru’s triceratops or a tortoise-like stegosaurus)
Australia has an all Region DVD of the 98 Lost World which I own. Try searching around some Australian DVD online sellers. From the back of the DVD - Flashback Entertainment Catalogue Number 13262. Pal All Regions.
Wow. I saw the 1998 one as a kid. I always thought it was a fever dream cause I watched the 1999 TV show and clearly remembered the old man character being eaten by the t-Rex only for him to appear in the TV series.
Maybe I missed it but I don’t think so. Where was bbc’s the lost world? I even saw some scenes from it but unless I missed it there was no mention. It was one of my favourite movies as a kid
While I am just as tired of remakes and reboots as a lot of people, I feel like the world is ready for a new The Lost World adaptation, one that might try to be accurate, not because of conservaticism but because it would actually be an original way of interpretating it after decades or relatively loose retellings.
20:58 So, the original Lost World movie poster shows the allosaurus or t-rex? as the dinosaur who causes rampage in London, instead of the Brontosaurus. Talk about an early clickbait 😂
Conan Doyle was also an ardent spiritualist and fell for the Cottingley Fairies hoax (where a couple of girls took photos of paper cutouts of drawinga of fairies)
fun fact: i have a character for a huge project of mine (a video game) that is quite much the Prof. Challenge of that universe! (i didnt inspired my character in Challenger, but it is all a fun coincidence)
It’s written in the 1900s, and the main character is irish Needless to say the eccentric scientist constantly makes reference to the fact that he is irish, and unfortunately is limited in his reasoning abilities😂 and it’s hilarious the whole way through!
Challenger was actually treated well by the apemen because they mistook him for one of their own. Gladys did not disserve to have that lake named after her.
1. Recently,I was thinking if Charles Muntz's backstory from the Pixar's Up could be considered a darker or twisted version of The Lost World. 2. I was uncertain about the actual species of the large theropod in the novel.Was it a Megalosaurus or Allosaurus ? 3. My favorite adaptation of The Lost World besides the 1925 version,is the BBC version. 4. If you were to direct a film remake of The Lost World,would you keep the creature rosters of the film faithful from the sourece material,or change the creatures into South American species that found these years ? For example,changing the large theropods into either Carcharodontosauridae,Megaraptora or Abelisaur. Stegosaur into some sourt of Titanosaur,and Iguanodon into Macrogryphosaurus. 5. Speaking of TLW: Jurassic Park. I was quite disturbed by the fact that they seemed to completely ignore Isla Sorna sans passing mentions or Easter Eggs in some tie-in websites. I would really hope some future Jurassic projects could have a story that had the protagonists estranded on Isla Sorna.
May I suggest that you also do a list of adaptations of the novel that came before this one, namely Jules Verne's "A Journey to the Center of the Earth"?
Lost World should be remade into a new film with a proper budget and practical effects and anamtronics. Something like a mix of the Mummy and King Kong. Perhaps using sophont/sapient race of dinosaurs instead of human natives. Residing in temples of Mayan design and the culture is very similar. Could have the apemen be replaced by another race of sophont/Sapient dinosaur. Maybe change what year its in like 1924 or modern times.
I agree! I've always seen a proper remake using the same method as 2005s King Kong did for their dinosaurs and make them modern and unique descendants of their original ancestors. Could result in some cool looking dinosaurs
The 98 film has a lot of gore compared to the other adaptations. I think there might have been nudity as well but I saw it on vhs in 2004 so bear with my memory
I do find it a bit odd that the lost world/return to the lost world 1992 didn't go with any dinosaur Cryptids like the Kasai Rex or Mokele Mebembe since this version takes place in Africa witch make it a miss opportunity to me at least.

The Lost world story is an amazing classic story that has unfortunately been forgotten by the modern audience.
It is the base structure of the majority of the "Dinosaurs but modern day" type B-movies.

I know I've generally been more of a "faithful adaptation or it didn't happen" kind of person but something about both versions really caught my attention. I guess I really enjoyed the bloody horror of the 1998 movie, and as for the TV series, it was my absolute favorite 90s Adventure Show, and it still breaks my heart that it was cancelled. Unlike some other shows from the 90s, the writers actually had plans on how to end the series and from the sounds of it, it would have been glorious to behold. 🦖🦖🦖
I think Savage Land, which appears in the X-Men cartoon, is worth an honorable mention.
I don't know if there's a direct relationship, but it's still the same premise.
Any update on when your Carnosaur videos will be back up? They were some of my favorite videos you’ve made.
“What some may call based” I appreciate you acknowledging me sir. Subscribed.
So happy Tezuka's work for mentioned lol 😆
Yes!! Tezuka is a legend.
Man, this is part 1 and it has went over most of the Lost World adaptations that I knew about.
Dinosaur Summer is a pretty neat book with some cool ideas. After the events of the original story there was a bit of a dinosaur craze, however by the late 1940's it's mostly faded away. Dinosaurs have just become another sort of animal to the general public. Taking the circus dinosaurs back up the plateau is as much as publicity stunt as it is trying to help the animals.
The plateau is also pretty interesting, the reason it contains so many different animals from different periods is that is used to be several plateaus that are now mergeing. The big theropods are actually being outcompeted by terror birds, and there is a real sense that evolution has continued, a bit like Peter Jackson's King Kong, these are not just prehistoric creatues that never changed.
It also has a fair amount of illustations in it as well, might make for a good video.
Indeed though the actual trip to the Plateau does drag for most of the story.
The 1998 version was one of my favourite movies as a kid. It was always on the horror channel here in the UK, back when it used to be called Zone Horror. I spoke with the actor who plays Malone in it, and he told me that while he enjoyed making it at the time, it isn't something he looks back on with fondness.
Man, the 1999 Lost World show was a great experience. It really needs a full review; though you might have to *ahem* hoist the Jolly Roger to watch it. Still, highly recommended. The pilot two-parter is as close to a book adaption as you can get, even tho Challenger doesn't attack Malone, as hilarious as it could be. Even while listening about these other adaptations, I know understand some of the Easter eggs that appeared in certain episodes. The intro alone gets you pumped up. The dinos are there, the ape men are, the other tribes are there, the lizard people tribe... And that first season cliffhanger ending is insane. Seriously, cannot recommend this series enough!
I definitely plan to grab the full series at some point and look at it more in depth. It's hard to do it in a video like this, considering the amount of topics that are being covered
the characters are easily the best part, all have such great dialogue and growth. show does a great job at blending comedy, drama and action
I’m for a steampunk-esque Lost World with evolved South American saurians, with Peter Dinklage as George Challenger if he’s no longer despicable.
I cant believe next year the 25 movie will be 100 years...
@torvovenator
It's so weird, I'm 36, a young, yet older adult and I'm living through the years that one century ago, my grandfather who passed away in 2004 grew up in. It f***s with my mind sometimes. To think the so-called Roaring Twenties were one century ago...
@@sonofeyeabovealleffoff5462Roaring 20s are back! Oh no...
@@ExtremeMadnessX I'm just saying it feels weird is all.
The references in Michael Crichton's the lost world were that the jeeps used for the expedition are called Challengers and that Crichton invented a scientist that investigated about TRex called Roxton
Your videos are always interesting and fun but this one was really good. As well as showing the twists on the core story, what is most interesting is how the movies progressed through the years. Can't wait for the next one.
We need a good lost world series with the same creature designers who made peter Jackson's king kong
The Willis 'O Brien version is my all time favorite.
I've always loved the Lost World since I was a child, I had the Ladybird classics version which was an abridged version of the book with nicely painted illustrations. Still have it though it is very battered. It also came with a cassette to listen to the story and read along with it.
Crichton calling Doyle’s Lost World a bad book is the richest thing I’ll hear today, and it’s only 3:43 in the morning.
I’d recommend reading Primitive War by Ethan Pettus, it’s an amazing book series
There’s a sequel novel of Doyle’s The Lost World? That’s amazing.
It may not be an adaptation, but I was totally unaware of Osamu Tezuka's Lost World and now am really intrigued by it. His _Metropolis_ - and the anime version of it by Madhouse and Rintaro - is *amazing,* so I want to check this out too. I guess he had a period where he just did stuff with the same name as novels and movies he never saw, lol. I also kinda like the literal interpretation of the title, that it's part of the world that was lost and now re-emerges. That's kinda neat.
Terrific video! Also, thank you for breaking it into parts. There are way too many creators who go hog-wild on their video essays and think it's totally acceptable to drop 2, 3 or even 4 hour videos! That's outrageous! People have school and work and life stuff going on; there are a zillion TH-cam videos out there! We can't dedicate crazy amounts of time to vids like that. A one-hour, or faster if you're like me and speed 'em up to 1.25x or 1.5x speed, are just right. So again, *THANK YOU* Dino Diego.
I wonder if part 2 will have the Radio Plays. I know of at least 3 that can be found online, but word of at least 5 running around in the ether.
Just started, but fingers crossed part 2 or 3 has Project Tepui. ^^;
It's always cool to hear about vintage and retro dino art, though.
I have not, but just looking through it, definitely gonna add it to the list. Looks very interesting! Thank you for the suggestion
Be sure to include the more recent books Tooth and Claw by Darren Hugh Burton and Project Tepui in the next part.
23:23
Insert a KYS meme right here
Sherlock Holmes can now venture into the Lost World
29:53 R.I.P. Willy U_U
While its very appropriate to talk about the lost world jurrassic park, something else that caught my attention was the use of diamonds in some of the stories. Characters wanting diamonds also reminded me of Congo by Micheal Crichton.
I'm pretty sure as a kid I had a Ladybird junior version of The Lost World, the kids book i'm convinced used images from the 1960s comic as illustrations.
Your documentary is quite interesting and I myself am a blender animator of paleo life and I plan to make 3D animation of paleo life and make movies out of them and give audiences what they truly deserve where dinosaurs can be awesome, fun and more importantly accurate enough based on what we know about them today.
The one thing I have found to be quite odd, is that I've not been able to look up the actor that played Hammond in Return to the Lost World. No listing on Wikipedia or IMDB for him.
Hey I reviewed the lost world 1925 a while back
If I saw this movie in 1925 my mind would have been fu**ing blown away 😮😮
I find the lost world deserve a more proper accurate agitation. 🦕🦖
It's definitely one of my favorite books I've read for school. It may have some outdated perspectives, like with imperialism and colonialism, as well as scientific inaccuracies with the dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures living in that plateau. But it's still a great adventure story and you can see why this, and previous story (Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth) had an impact with dinosaur media as well as the adventure genre as a whole.
The Lost Continent triggered a... PTSD for lack of a better term?
I'll only remember the film as "Rock climbing, Joel. Rock climbing".
THERE I AM GARY THERE I AM
My personal favorite was the 90s adaptation and the animated series I loved the world building of the animated adaptation
The Lost World is one of my favorite adventure novels. Sadly, at this point I wouldn’t trust Hollywood with it.
Time to go indie.
Find imagine the four explore were chased by a theropod dinosaur but the theropod dinosaur eventually slipped and fell off the edge of the plateau falling from a mile high ravine, landed on the ground level dead.
Someone should make a 100 year anniversary adaptation of the 1925 lost world film with the same stop animation and plot
31:08
I finally found it
the movie with the giant lizard with a prop on it that dies in a 'volcano'
The 1998 Lost World has probably some of the trippiest scenes, especially with that “t. rex”…. I mean damn… you thought Indominus Rex was freaky?
as a lifelong fan of the novel, i enjoyed your presentation very much. please consider reviewing the caspak trilogy by edgar rice burroughs i have the two-part french comics from 1990 and it's VERY faithful to the book. it takes place in south america as does the novel.
Doyle also wrote two more novels and two short stories featuring Prof. Challenger.
50:25
Ah, The Lost World novel is a great read and a good remake. Gave it a solid 5/5.
i'm sorry but the real lizards in dinosaur costumes are SO CUTE lol. obviously terrible. but they're slaying
SLurpasaurs are are awesome as long as the animal wasn't hurt in the filming. But far too often they just had the animals fight to the death, so I get why they moved away from it.
The animals not fighting are just one part of the problem when it comes to Slurpasaurs. The other problem is that they just look like shit in general. I'll never understand anyone that would rather watch a lizard walking around as a "brontosaurus" over a stop motion model that actually looks like one
@@DinoDiego16 It depends on the budget of the project really. If it's a student film/low budget indie thing, I love it as a retro callback.
If it's a Bmovie or even a blockbuster, oh god no. I want well done stop motion.
@@kyleellis1825 wait can we back up, they're called SLURPASAURS???? even cuter!!
no but seriously if they're hurt of permanently effected by the costumes then i hate it. i just want them to have a nice cushy acting job and look fierce while doing it
I wish books still had beautiful illustrations as a matter of course.
I watched the 1960 film with my brother when we were kids and the scene where the monkey men killed the primative man actually traumatised us
Good vid, but you forgot to mention how much the TV show's theme song slaps
The 1998 adaptation has a special place in my heart because I’ll always remember the VHS cover from blockbuster and the scene where Prof. Challenger hallucinates the Not-Tyrannosaur skeleton attacking him. Really interested in revisiting it honestly.
I actually really love The Lost World novel by Crichton, honestly probably a bit more than the first book. Kinda interesting how the later Jurassic movies took bits from it.
I could be wrong but wasn't that Summerlee attacked by the skeleton Rex hallucination? The descriptions I've read at least say that, maybe I'm wrong
@@DinoDiego16you right, my bad. I guess i was used to the more old man version from the slurpasaur version that they kinda just blended together in my mind
Exactly the video I was looking for 😈 Thank you for that! 🇺🇸
I love The Lost World of the 1960 despite the slurpasaurus. They should have made a book of their lizard-dinosaurs. (For example a Clamidosauru’s triceratops or a tortoise-like stegosaurus)
Also the Lost World (the sequel of Jurassic Park) is more faithful to Arthur Conan Doyle’s Nobel than to the Chrichton’s one
Right? Why does nobody talk about that?
Australia has an all Region DVD of the 98 Lost World which I own. Try searching around some Australian DVD online sellers. From the back of the DVD - Flashback Entertainment Catalogue Number 13262. Pal All Regions.
Thank you very much for this info! I'll be sure to do that!
U better hurry with part 2, or we are going T-Rex on u!
Wow. I saw the 1998 one as a kid. I always thought it was a fever dream cause I watched the 1999 TV show and clearly remembered the old man character being eaten by the t-Rex only for him to appear in the TV series.
4:46 Maple White is described as an American in the Novel just so you know. Specifically he’s from Detroit, Michigan.
Maybe I missed it but I don’t think so. Where was bbc’s the lost world? I even saw some scenes from it but unless I missed it there was no mention. It was one of my favourite movies as a kid
This is part one of this series. BBC's The Lost World will feature in the next part
The BBC version is my favorite version of the Lost World. Love that it had the original ending.
While I am just as tired of remakes and reboots as a lot of people, I feel like the world is ready for a new The Lost World adaptation, one that might try to be accurate, not because of conservaticism but because it would actually be an original way of interpretating it after decades or relatively loose retellings.
20:58 So, the original Lost World movie poster shows the allosaurus or t-rex? as the dinosaur who causes rampage in London, instead of the Brontosaurus. Talk about an early clickbait 😂
Conan Doyle was also an ardent spiritualist and fell for the Cottingley Fairies hoax (where a couple of girls took photos of paper cutouts of drawinga of fairies)
Just in case, Ill ask in the more recent video but: Will you ever cover journey to the center of the earth??
Absolutely!
Absolutely love the TV show
fun fact:
i have a character for a huge project of mine (a video game) that is quite much the Prof. Challenge of that universe! (i didnt inspired my character in Challenger, but it is all a fun coincidence)
You gotta do a video on the Caspak Trilogy.
It’s written in the 1900s, and the main character is irish
Needless to say the eccentric scientist constantly makes reference to the fact that he is irish, and unfortunately is limited in his reasoning abilities😂
and it’s hilarious the whole way through!
Challenger was actually treated well by the apemen because they mistook him for one of their own. Gladys did not disserve to have that lake named after her.
1.
Recently,I was thinking if Charles Muntz's backstory from the Pixar's Up could be considered a darker or twisted version of The Lost World.
2.
I was uncertain about the actual species of the large theropod in the novel.Was it a Megalosaurus or Allosaurus ?
3.
My favorite adaptation of The Lost World besides the 1925 version,is the BBC version.
4.
If you were to direct a film remake of The Lost World,would you keep the creature rosters of the film faithful from the sourece material,or change the creatures into South American species that found these years ? For example,changing the large theropods into either Carcharodontosauridae,Megaraptora or Abelisaur. Stegosaur into some sourt of Titanosaur,and Iguanodon into Macrogryphosaurus.
5.
Speaking of TLW: Jurassic Park. I was quite disturbed by the fact that they seemed to completely ignore Isla Sorna sans passing mentions or Easter Eggs in some tie-in websites. I would really hope some future Jurassic projects could have a story that had the protagonists estranded on Isla Sorna.
May I suggest that you also do a list of adaptations of the novel that came before this one, namely Jules Verne's "A Journey to the Center of the Earth"?
Definitely gonna do this as a video one of these days
I wish there was remake change with some speculation
Ps the creature play by a rhino iguana turned out to be a real Triassic reptile
i still say the 2001 bbc tv version was probably the best version in my view,and iv seen some of the others...
42:55 Well isn't that hypocritical coming from the same studio that made a Land Before Time 2 in 1990
as for the reptiles with glued on stuff that has to fight in real life, animal safety what is that?
Lost World should be remade into a new film with a proper budget and practical effects and anamtronics.
Something like a mix of the Mummy and King Kong.
Perhaps using sophont/sapient race of dinosaurs instead of human natives.
Residing in temples of Mayan design and the culture is very similar.
Could have the apemen be replaced by another race of sophont/Sapient dinosaur.
Maybe change what year its in like 1924 or modern times.
I agree! I've always seen a proper remake using the same method as 2005s King Kong did for their dinosaurs and make them modern and unique descendants of their original ancestors. Could result in some cool looking dinosaurs
Just watch The Lost World: Jurassic Park. It's more adaptation of Conan Doyle's novel than Michael Crichton's one...
The trilogy that starts with The Lost World is some of the more interesting stuff ACD ever wrote, product of the times though it is.
Question: is the lost world underground??? Or is it high up?? I know its on a plateau.....
The 98 film has a lot of gore compared to the other adaptations. I think there might have been nudity as well but I saw it on vhs in 2004 so bear with my memory
That's not "Hamilton" that's Marshall M.Dillon, you can't fool me.
Hey! Check out Hazbin Hotel..one of Hell's overlords is a blinged out feathered raptor named Missi Zilla.
I do find it a bit odd that the lost world/return to the lost world 1992 didn't go with any dinosaur Cryptids like the Kasai Rex or Mokele Mebembe since this version takes place in Africa witch make it a miss opportunity to me at least.
