And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The Land Unknown (1957). See a dinosaur, and kill it.
Bing Russell had a bit part in it as a radio operator - Kurt Russell's dad. Also, music by, you didn't guess it, Henry Mancini, who wrote the Pink Panther theme among others.
Funny how the movie was premised on an undiscovered mysterious volcano on Antarctica, and lo and behold, decades later, scientists are studying a heat anomaly that leads them to discover an active (underground) volcano on Antarctica. It's the Star Trek syndrome. Somebody imagines it and BAM! Screenwriters have great powers.
That's one heck of a flare gun!

DeleteI remember seeing that flick back in the early 60's I believe. Love the old Dinosaur movies back from the 50's, 60's.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder dinosaurs went extinct. We should have banned flair guns when we had the chance.
