TWO LOST WORLDS is an amusing little adventure flick made on an obviously low budget. The story is about settlers versus pirates, with strapping James Arness the hero of the hour who spends most of his time in a love triangle with a pretty magistrate's daughter and her ranch-owning lover. The film has a low rent but exotic feel to it with a light, action-focused plot to keep youngsters entertained. Late on in the proceedings, the heroine is kidnapped by dastardly pirates and taken to a 'lost world' inhabited by erupting volcanoes and dinosaurs. The dinosaur footage is brief and ripped off from earlier films and features a couple of lizards with glued-on fins fighting. High art this ain't, but old B-movie fans will get a kick out of it.

Before he became James Arness, James Aurness was captain of the Clipper ship "the Queen" sailing in the Pacific where he encounters pirates which leads to a trip to the hospital which in 1830 couldn't do much for his health but was an unusual setting for a romantic encounter with another mans girl.Just sit right back And you'll hear a tale A tale of a fateful trip, That started from this tropic port. The skipper was a Marshal brave and sure. the weather was fine but pirates attacked. The ship's aground on the shore Of this uncharted desert isle.So this is the tale of our castaways, They're here for a long, long time. The first mate and his Skipper, Chester and Festus, too!with recycled film from a dozen other movies. too try and keep things interesting.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtC6lu1sxOw

American sailor has his ship attacked by pirates and ends up ashore in Australia where he falls in love with one of the local women. When the pirates attack the village the sailor has to go off to rescue his lady love...only to end up shipwrecked on an island with dinosaurs.Misbegotten adventure film that stands out only because of the dinosaurs in the final minutes, this is a clunky adventure film that isn't very good. One person here on IMDb indicates that this is actually several episodes of an an sold TV show stitched together, which makes perfect sense owing to the compartmentalized structure of the films stories. Not really bad, it is like watching an old TV show that you never heard of for a good reason. I picked up the film because of the dinosaurs on the cover only to later read about how they only show up at the end, and then was shocked at how little even that was. My dislike for the film has nothing to do with the lack of monsters, indeed I was ready to bail on the film early on, but kept going because I wanted to see said beasties.Not worth your time, let alone your money

This movie is available on video, and I recommend buying it. A problem with the bad movie genre (subgenre? metagenre?) is that it is dominated by science fiction and horror. Well, this movie has elements of both, but it is mainly an adventure film gone horribly wrong. So, it is often overlooked as a source of unintentional laughs. Here's 10 good reasons to see it:1. Look at the tattoos in the opening and closing title sequence.2. Is it a historical drama? A pirate adventure? A monster movie? Who knows?3. Bad narration -- lots of it! Could be missing pieces of soundtrack.4. James Aurness (sic) -- He was more expressive as the carrot in "The Thing"5. Bill Kennedy -- the grouchy costar was later a popular TV movie host in the Detroit area -- a special Michigan connection6. Fight montage sequence -- there must be stuff from 10 movies in here!7. You know, you can MOVE that camera! But this cinematographer obviously wasn't aware -- he just turned the camera on, and people walked in and out of the shot. Guess he was in the can a lot.8. The monsters fight each other, but pose no threat to the humans. They should get guest star billing!9. If you can tell the two lead women apart, you're doing better than me.10. Last but not least -- the finale features the world's most powerful handheld telescope as a side-splitting topper.I've said enough -- and last but not least -- it's SHORT! The best quality a bad movie can have. This one's a winner, folks.
