Wissenswertes
William 'Stage' Boyd was either drunk or on drugs during the filming of the final chapter, and it shows. His bad behavior on and off camera got him in so much trouble that it wrecked his career. Fellow actors in this movie didn't want to be around him when he was inebriated; this may be why he is shown alone in his final scenes. Many referred to him as a "functioning drunk". He passed away shortly after this movie was released from problems caused by his excessive drinking. A judge ordered him to add the "Stage" to his name so he wouldn't be confused with the other William Boyd, who played Hopalong Cassidy and whose career was being adversely affected by "Stage" Boyd's bad behavior.

Patzer
When the globe is used to pinpoint the origin of the disturbance the hero points to Mali on the globe. Supposedly unexplored territory and an area covered in deep jungles. Both are of course untrue, as Mali was both explored and is mostly desert.

Zitate
Zolok: You're in the lost city of the Ligurians. As you may know, Ligurians were master scientists. I am the last of that race, carrying on the electromagnetic traditions of my people.

Alternative Versionen
Video versions of this feature (using the title City Of Lost Men) hav the last reel of the serial's final chapter cut in after the feature proper fades out, showing the destruction of the main villains but not explaining how all the principals suddenly get from the trading post back into the underground lost city. It's not clear who is responsible for this amendment, although main titles suggest it may have been done for a 1970s reissue.

All the other comments are really right on the mark about THE LOST CITY. For some of us it is a guilty pleasure, mainly because it is so outlandish. Trying to rate it is difficult, because on the one hand the acting is so atrocious and the racial attitudes are beyond belief, and the other hand, it is never boring, and has imaginative sets and Kenneth Strickfadden's electrical devices. Recently Jerry Frank's, nephew wrote about this film. Frank and Sam Baker, who played the 7 foot zombie Hugo became best of friends. It was heartwarming to read how in those days, the two actors, one Black and the other Jewish bonded. Baker referred to the film as "That old dog" but neither would disavow the film.
