Wissenswertes
Although the feature was promoted as "All Technicolor", in actuality, only 7234 of its original 8569 feet were filmed in color. Most of the underwater sequences were filmed in B&W and tinted green, in the usual fashion of the 1920s, and some shots of explosions were enlivened by using the Kelley Color/Handschiegl spot-coloring process.

Patzer
The initial views of the ship's nose during construction shows a blunt rounded appearance as with modern submarines, but the animation views of the ship underway show an almost cartoon-like shape with a swordfish-like pointy nose.

Zitate
Count Andre Dakkar: Who am I? I'm a scientist - who asks nothing, but to be left alone. Here on my island we don't think of kings or rank or power. Here the humblest workman in my shops, the peasant who tills my field, is my equal. We work with but one end: to study, to learn, to be free! To seek happiness, each in his own way.

Alternative Versionen
Complete Technicolor print of The Mysterious Island was discovered in Prague, December 2013 and premiered at the 33rd Pordenone Silent Film Festival in October 2014.

Undersea Extravaganza...

THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND is a mixed silent / "talkie" film about Count Dakkar (Lionel Barrymore) and his visionary creation of early submarine technology. He wants to explore the ocean floor in order to find a race of deep-sea humanoids. Unfortunately, Dakkar makes the mistake of letting the ruthless Baron Falon (Montagu Love) in on his plans. Falon has big plans of his own for Dakkar's invention, none of them good.

For it's time, this movie has incredible special effects, including the army of fish-men superimposed with a "giant" octopus and a caiman as a finned, aquatic "dinosaur". The miniature work is also amazing, as are the bulbous diving suits during the finale.

An exciting, highly entertaining sci-fi / adventure film from beginning to end...
