Wissenswertes
The Diplodocus skeleton prop from this film was used in the scene where C-3PO sees the Jawa transporter in the film Star Wars: Episode IV - Eine neue Hoffnung (1977), which was made at Elstree Studios.

Patzer
About 40 minutes into the film, in the location shot of the Chinese gang preparing to steal the dinosaur skeleton, you can clearly see St. Paul's Cathedral in the distance with two 1960s tower blocks (presumably the Barbican) on either side.

A Welcome Escape back to Childhood

Clearly any film nearly 30 years old is going to have flaws by today's standards and I know many people knock this film because of the now very politically incorrect portrayals of the Chinese.

However (and I am part Chinese myself) I regard the performances as pure pantomime or affectionate parody and not offensive. Besides - the bumbling British upper classes hardly fare any better.

I watched this on DVD last night and I still find it funny. Nostalgia of course plays a big part - I was 8 when it came out, still into palaeontology and visiting the Natural History Museum regularly.

But it still has some cracking dialogue, great slapstick and visual humour and of course the incomparable Helen Hayes and Peter Ustinov.

So if you want a chuckle and to escape back to a gentler (albeit fictitious) time - you could do a lot worse than spend 90 minutes watching this.
