TV review - "The Lost World: The Journey Begins and Stranded" (1999) **1/2

 Pilot for the adventure series shot on the Gold Coast - there were a bunch of them made there around that time including Beastmaster, Tales of the South Seas and so on. It's silly tongue in cheek fun, played with conviction. The cast is fine - the standouts are the two women: feisty heiress Rachel Blakely (who has urst with the hunky hunter Will Snow) and the fur bikini wearing cavewoman. Variable effects, a sense of fun.

The director was Richard Franklin, who did a number of episodes, and the executive producer was John Landis.
