Once at the top, they find... an exact duplicate of the jungle set at the mountain base. Except, as one scientist points out, this jungle is flowered by long-extinct plant life. And not just plants; we soon encounter much prehistoric animal life as well. The cast [[strike:wastes]] spends much time running from dinosaurs and wandering through the foliage before finally stumbling upon the missing rocket. Examining its guidance computer will help the scientists correct the problem, and so exit stage down. (That's right: that means ''more'' rock climbing!)

--> '''Mike Nelson''': There is a wonderful moment in ''The Lost Continent'' that we failed to point out in our treatment of it. During the rock climbing sequence, where they are hauling Sid Melton up onto a plateau by the butt, Hugh Beaumont is in the background completely losing it. He's barely trying to cover the fact that he's laughing. Luckily for us, Sam Newfield never did a second take. Look for it, you'll not be disappointed.

''(The) Lost Continent'' is a 1951 BMovie produced by Robert Lippert, starring Cesar Romero and Hugh Beaumont. Starting out as a fairly straight-forward, Cold War era military film, it quickly switches into a "lost in the jungle" romp, then segues into an interminable "rock climbing" sequence before ultimately transmogrifying into a dinosaur film.
