Land Of The Lost
The prolific Krofft team was influential in live-action children's television, producing many shows that were oddly formatted, highly energetic, and filled with special effects, with most of them following a "stranger in a strange land" storyline. Most of these shows were comedic in nature, but Land of the Lost was considerably more serious, especially during its first season, though as the series progressed, the dramatic tone diminished.[14]

Led by Chaka, the group enters a rocky wasteland littered with artefacts from different epochs, encountering compsognathuses, dromaeosaurs, Grumpy, and a female allosaur nicknamed "Big Alice". These last two are battling it out over the remains of an ice-cream seller killed by the dromaeosaurs, until they sense Marshall and chase him. Marshall kills Big Alice with liquid nitrogen, finding the amplifier was eaten by the allosaur. But a pteranodon snatches the amplifier into its caldera incubator. Treading lightly on the thin volcanic-glass floor of the glowing caldera, Marshall gives himself over to the music of A Chorus Line coming from the tachyon amplifier, and dancingly meanders between the pterosaur eggs towards the device. When he reaches it, the playback suddenly stops. The eggs begin to hatch, and they realize the music was keeping the baby pterosaurs asleep. Marshall, Will and Holly belt out "I Hope I Get It", with Chaka joining in to display a great singing voice, much to everyone's surprise.
Land of the Lost is the story of the Marshall family, who while on a river rafting trip, fall through a mist-covered waterfall and end up in an alternate universe. Rick Marshall and his children Will and Holly become trapped in a land that time forgot, a place inhabited by dinosaurs, ape like creatures called Pakuni, and the menacing lizard creatures known as Sleestak.
After the family takes refuge in "High Bluff," a cave safely positioned high off the forest floor, they begin to gather water, food and other materials from which to make their stay as comfortable as possible. They quickly learn that the aggressive Sleestak, along with the many dinosaurs that roam the land, will end up being their main antagonists through the run of the series. With such plot devices as Pylons, Skylons, time doorways, crystal matrix tables, the Lost City and the Sleestak catacombs, adventure was not lacking on the snow. We were also introduced to a slightly smaller and golden Sleestak named Enik who spoke English and although preoccupied with finding his own way home, would assist the Marshalls from time to time if they caught him in a good mood. As season one turned into season two, there were some significant changes happening. Scutter McKay replaced Joe Giamalva as Ta, the leader of the Pakus. David Gerrold gave way to Dick Morgan as story editor, and Sid and Marty Krofft took over as producers. The kids, including Chaka, grew. The Marshalls had new clothes, new tools and more gear. That year in the Land of the Lost really paid off for learning new survival skills to be sure!
The film involves a gloriously preposterous premise, set in a series of cheerfully fake landscapes which change at the whim of the art director. How else to explain a primeval swamp within walking distance of a limitless desert? Or to explain a motel sign from another dimension that appears there, with all of the motel missing, but plenty of water still in the pool? And dinosaurs walking the earth at the same time as early man, just like in Alley Oop and "The Flintstones"?
There they become friends with Chaka (Jorma Taccone), who belongs to a tribe of Missing Links and offers convincing evidence that in his land the straightening of teeth had not been developed. Luckily, Holly speaks his language. Yes, speaks his language, indicating that the movie will do anything to get to the next scene.
On a Sunday in October 2003, two young kayakers set off onto Nantucket Sound from the southern coast of the Cape. Mary Jagoda, a 20-year-old from Huntington, New York, and her 19-year-old friend Sarah Aronoff, from Bethesda, Maryland, paddled into the choppy, 60-degree waters without a compass, map, or GPS. A dense fog soon rolled in. When they were reported missing an hour or so later, a frantic search ensued. The following day, their kayaks were spotted tied together but empty. Coast Guard cutters, helicopters, and local police canvassed the area through the night to no avail. Jagoda was recovered on Tuesday, having died from drowning. Aronoff was never found.

About halfway into "Land of the Lost," our intrepid time-space travelers stumble into a desert wasteland filled with the half-buried bric-a-brac of human civilization: Ferris wheels and catapults, convertibles and fast food signs, swimming pools and phone booths and ice cream trucks. It's a cultural boneyard. Not at all coincidentally, so's the movie. Genially terrible, "Lost" is lazy, sloppy multiplex filler, good for a few solid giggles and not much more.
Fair enough. The star plays Rick Marshall, a pudgy blowhard - nothing new there - who has invented a "tachyon amplifier" with the power to open a gateway to other dimensions. Humiliated on TV by "Today" show host Matt Lauer, gamely playing himself, Marshall still plows ahead on a "routine expedition" to the land of three moons, accompanied by a comely British scientist (Anna Friel) and a belly-scratching cave guide - Danny McBride, lately an inspired supporting boor of guy-comedies like "Tropic Thunder" and "Pineapple Express."
"Blades of Glory" got an entire movie out of that, though. "Lost" is merely built on riffage: a Santana vocorder imitation here, a nod to Snoopy's doghouse there. You could play at home and save on the popcorn. As a diehard fan of pop-cult arcana, I appreciated the shout-outs to the 1979 comedy "The In-Laws" (Ferrell running around yelling "Serpentine!") and 1961 shipwreck fantasy "Mysterious Island" (a Ray Harryhausen-inspired giant crab meets an appropriate end). But I would have preferred a movie that took the business of being funny a bit more seriously.
Brad Silberling: It turns out Will and I shared a lot of the same memories of the show, and we thought with all these summer adventure films out there, what would set this one apart? And we thought there would be nothing funnier than if you brought back all these obstacles but then stuck the wrong group of people in there, who would make stupid choices. That's essentially what this is: A taboo version of the original show. We're the adults who were watching this show as children, now imagining what else could happen in the land of the lost.
I was impressed that you got Will to dump dino urine over himself not once, but twiceThe script originally only called for it once. But then on the second take he just took it so much further, drinking it and showering in it a second time. On set, I'm not just directing but I'm also often running the handheld camera, and you can actually see the camera shake there as I just lost it. But he's so good at stuff like that, you just have to trust him when he starts going off-script. Will's actually really articulate about his philosophy behind this — that he thinks if you only go for the cheap punch line and don't trust the laugh, you'll never get anywhere. It's with the rolling laugh, where you watch the character keep going forward with a mistake and allow it to really play itself out, that you get 'em. (TIME reports: Will Ferrell — Brilliant Idiot)
However, none of them contributed to the controversial third and final season, which many fans consider the series's Shark Jumping point for losing Rick Marshall and for abandoning much of the internal logic of the series mythology. Even as early as the mid-80's, network reruns of the show were omitting the third season, as did Syfy and Chiller in their marathons many years later. For several years, MeTV reran the show in its entirety (on Saturday mornings, appropriately). Some fans do appreciate at least certain elements of the third season, such as Uncle Jack's personality or the mysterious "repairman" entity, Blandings.
Richard could have lost control of his truck, slid into the snowbank and injured himself. He could have been disoriented and walked for help. He was wearing jeans, a turtleneck and a Carhartt work jacket, which would have been no match for the cold -- below zero even without windchill.
To keep warm, Richard could have crawled into thick brush or a hole in the ground, or buried himself underneath something -- a log, a boulder, debris. MacDonald once found a lost hunter who had wrapped himself in the bloody hide of a newly killed moose, the brown fur making him almost impossible to detect.
Any number of creatures -- birds, crabs, sharks, orcas, seals, sea lions -- could have fed on the body before it washed up on Shuyak Island. Once there, a brown bear took what was left and brought it to its den.
The appearance of "Land of the Lost" on the movie landscape is as puzzling as the sudden arrival of a Tyrannosaurus rex in Times Square would be, although far less momentous. Will Ferrell stars as Dr. Rick Marshall, an intrepid boob who believes he's close to making a seemingly important discovery about the space-time vortex, or something like that. In the course of doing some minor preliminary research, he and Cambridge-educated cutie Holly Cantrell (Anna Friel), along with redneck tour guide Will Stanton (Danny McBride), get sucked into a hole in time, landing in a world where dinosaurs and slow-moving, lizardy creatures known as the Sleestak reign supreme. Their guide in this strange new land is a shaggy, redheaded primate named Chaka (Jorma Taccone), whose chief preoccupation, at least at first, is trying to touch Holly's boobies. 041b061a72
