Doug McClure/ Amicus Films "Dino" film series Kevin Connor

Postby O.Supreme » Tue Apr 18, 2017 11:47 am

ok...had a bit of trouble naming the thread but basically what inspired me to write about this was of course the inclusion of two of these films on the newest season of MST3K. But in total I guess there are 4 films (although the last one was not Amicus because the company had shut down) but they are...

The Land That Time Forgot (1975)
At the Earth's Core (1976)
The People That Time Forgot (1977)
Warlords of Atlantis (1978)

Now growing up as a kid, the first two, were seemingly always on TV, and I saw them several times, but had no idea they were connected by studio/directors, or McClure. But I never saw "People" until I bought this DVD set a few years back:

and to this day I have never seen Warlords of Atlantis, but now I very much want to. I still don't have "Earths Core" on any media format. I've noticed that Kino has released the first 3 of these films on Blu Ray...any hope of them releasing the 4th one? I was actually hoping all of these would be together in a single set at one point but I guess there's not much chance of that... The first 2 films carry so much nostalgia, but I don't really need to get them on Blu Ray...any suggestions on the most economic way of obtaining Earth's Core & Atlantis? --

Also feel free to discuss the films themselves. I genuinely like "Land That Time Forgot" ...loved all the dinosaurs as a kid, and still do. The riffing was great on MST3K, but I can honestly enjoy this film on its own.
There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.

I rather enjoy Land that Time Forgot. I've not seen Core since I was very young and don't remember it very well. Warlords of Atlantis is also one of those things on my list to-watch.

I've only seen Land that Time Forgot and Journey to the Center of the Earth and I love them both. I have fond memories of watching them in my childhood on TBS/TNT I believe. I really want to see the other two films.
