I still remember seeing "The Land Unknown" on TV in the early 70's. I was VERY small. Maybe four years old? A helicopter is flying through an arctic region shrouded in heavy fog, trying to find its way home. While the occupants discuss what they're going to do, a pterosaur, as big as the helicopter, swoops out of the fog. No warning whatsoever. This is a moment of total, jaw-dropping shock and I clearly remember my reaction.
Completely out of left feld. The pterosaur flies out of the fog, squawks, accidentally bumps into the helicopter and damages it. The helicopter is forced to land on a mysterious island, and suddenly we're in a dinosaur movie.
For years it was just a memory of that scene and a couple of others and I had no idea what the film was called. Then I finally saw it again around '95. Ah, THAT was the film!
