Quiz
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.

Blooper
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.

Citazioni
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.

Versioni alternative
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.

Who's On Whose Side Here?

This supremely silly (but still kinda fun), 12-chapter serial/adventure tale (from 1935) had just about everything in it, but the kitchen sink.

Set in the fictitious region of Central Africa called the Magnetic Mountains, our dashing, young, American hero & researcher, Buck Gordon, travels to the Dark Continent in hopes of tracking down the brilliant yet decidedly crazed mad scientist Dr. Zolok who's definitely up to no good in a really big way.

As the story goes - It seems that somewhere within a hidden city (situated below Magnetic Mountain) Zolok has built a truly remarkable machine which can, in fact, be programed to create serious electrical disturbances at great distances.

And, as expected, Zolok plans to use this wondrous invention in his diabolical plans to (guess what?) take over the world. (Oh! My!)

Can our courageous hero and his trusty comrades save the day and stop zany Zolok before he carries things too far?

Well, you'll just have to check out The Lost City for yourself to find out the answer to that and much-much more, too!
