    In this OK sequel to The Land That Time Forgot, missing explorer Doug McClure is traced to an exotic prison on the lost island of Caprona. It's not as trashy as the original Edgar Rice Burroughs adventure, but director Kevin Connor's constipated confection still features silly dinosaurs (ludicrous mechanised mock-ups) and hopeless acting from an interesting cast (John Wayne's son Patrick, David Bowie protégée Dana Gillespie and the Green Cross Code man himself, David Prowse). A few shots, composed around celebrated fantasy illustrations, compensate for all the film's shortcomings.
