Trivia

The dimetrodons in the movie were played by rhinoceros iguanas. They grow to about 3-6 feet (1-2 meters) and are kept as pets in many places. In real life, dimetrodons were Synapsid reptiles. They lived in western North America and grew to about 12 feet (4 meters) in size.

Quotes

Carla Goetabaug: There's no need to lose that patient voice with me, Professor.
Sir Oliver Lindenbrook: Would you rather I use an impatient voice?
Carla Goetabaug: Professor Linderbrook, I am a member of this expedition, and as such I intend to report any observation I make.
Sir Oliver Lindenbrook: Alec, put it down in the record ...

Goofs

(at around 1h 45 mins) Near the end of the film, when Hans is calling for his duck, Gertrude, his mouth movements don't match his words.

Alternate Versions

There's a 35 mm copy on the "Filmoteca Española" in Madrid, Spain with some differences:

• The song "My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose" is cut. Even the dialogues before the song stars: "You know how I've felt since that day you entered the classroom and brought your uncle the galoshes he forgot. You looked like spring itself." The funny thing is that they kept a few shots o Pat Boone singing, but you can only hear the piano, there's no sound coming of his mouth.
• There's an alternate ending. Alec and the rest of the students sings the "Gaudeamus Igitur" song and there's and additional shot. The camera starts from Lindenbrook and Carla Göteborg and it opens to Alec and the rest of the students singing.
• All the end credits are in orange color, not white.
