Gloriously awful feature version of the even more gloriously awful serial, concerning Zolok, last of the Ligurians, in his steel-plated city beneath the African jungle. Along with hunchback Billy Bletcher -- doing his 'Pete' voice from Mickey Mouse -- he rules over a land of 'White Giants' and electrically zombified Blacks who communicate by belching!

Apparently Zolok is busy destroying the world, using scientists who can't act and one of their daughters, who has stolen her wardrobe from a wandering gypsy. Up shows a party of befuddled electrical engineers bent on saving the world; and, despite their best efforts, they manage to do so.

Worth see for the amazingly awful plot, script, costuming and set design, as well as Gabby Hays with his teeth in.

The second half of The Lost City serial is pretty much what you would expect if you've seen part 1. Taken for what it is, and considering the time in which it was made, it's entertaining enough in it's own way. Racist by any standard, the continuous flow of villains turning into good guys and back again ( Ya gotta work in as many gimmicks as ya can to keep 'em comin' back week after week for a serial like this one. ), and the lamest natives and fight scenes ever. Bright spot ... The evil Queen was HOT. But then so is the jungle and I don't want to go there either. This flick is what you do at two a.m. Saturday night to kill time without having to think. Its kinda fun in a goofy sort of way.
