5	* AccidentallyCorrectZoology:
6	** The dinosaurs in the film are portrayed as rather active and quick-footed animals, a view that would be pushed aside after the academic rejection of the dinosaur-bird connection theory occurring in the same decade the film was released, but revived by the discovery of ''Deinonychus'' in the 1960s. Special mention goes to the sauropods which are mainly land-based, contrary to popular belief at the time which considered sauropods as stuck in swamps.
7	** There's a brief scene of a mother ''Triceratops'' looking after her young, well before evidence of parental care among dinosaurs was discovered.
8	* ApprovalOfGod: Creator/ArthurConanDoyle saw the film with his family and by all accounts was very satisfied with it.
9	* FakeNationality: Everyone really, since the cast is full of Americans playing people from the British Isles.
10	* PortrayedByDifferentSpecies: The "spectacled bears" are played by American black bears -- cubs, no less.
11	* ScienceMarchesOn: The dinosaur anatomy and behavior are outdated due to dating back to the 1920s, although some portrayals are still mostly good.
12	* UnderageCasting: 52-year-old Arthur Hoyt as 66-year-old Summerlee.
13	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: As soon as the film was released, the same crew got to work on a sequel based on the lost city of Atlantis. It was killed by Warner Bros when they gained ownership of First National Pictures.
