Our review of Lost Continent has a 3-star rating.

Those monsters are delirious fun!

Yes it's a good fun film. Just a bit annoying that Optimum have released the US theatrical print rather than the UK one.

The old Anchor Bay disc featured the restored UK print.

And I got rid of it....

Is that Lost Continent & Reptile double-bill DVD the restored version? (Anyone got that R1 release?)

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

That's the one I had....

Yes that's the one I have. Original UK cinema version. The restored scenes are a bit messy but at least it's intact.

The German Anolis DVD is also the uncut print.

Excellent news!

I love Walter Hill's stuff, mostly.

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Never seen that one,so I'll look forward to seeing it.

Should be the same uncut print as the Momentum release.
