Before he became James Arness, James Aurness was captain of the Clipper ship "the Queen" sailing in the Pacific where he encounters pirates which leads to a trip to the hospital which in 1830 couldn't do much for his health but was an unusual setting for a romantic encounter with another mans girl.Just sit right back And you'll hear a tale A tale of a fateful trip, That started from this tropic port. The skipper was a Marshal brave and sure. the weather was fine but pirates attacked. The ship's aground on the shore Of this uncharted desert isle.So this is the tale of our castaways, They're here for a long, long time. The first mate and his Skipper, Chester and Festus, too!with recycled film from a dozen other movies. too try and keep things interesting.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtC6lu1sxOw

Two Lost Worlds and I only counted one of them is a cheap knockoff of a film with stock footage from One Million BC and Captain Caution thrown together fill out a film where a Yankee sailor finds love and romance and dinosaurs and volcanoes and kangaroos in one sixty minute film. If you like all those things you got your money's worth.This low budget independent casts James Arness in the lead as the Yankee sailor who after a firefight with some pirates in the New Hebrides island is dropped off in Queensland in Australia to recover from wounds. Where he falls in love with Laura Elliot who is engaged to rancher Bill Kennedy. That's your romance.But the pirates aren't done yet, they capture Elliot and her little sister as hostages after a raid and Arness and Kennedy lead a rescue attempt. After another pirate firefight they get stranded on a volcanic island with some dinosaurs. I think you can figure the rest out.I saw this when I was about 8 years old on Million Dollar Movie in New York. I thought it was hot stuff then, but my ardor for this film has considerably cooled. It's half romance novel, half science fiction and not done well in either department. And absolutely no one talks like they're from Australia.

American sailor has his ship attacked by pirates and ends up ashore in Australia where he falls in love with one of the local women. When the pirates attack the village the sailor has to go off to rescue his lady love...only to end up shipwrecked on an island with dinosaurs.Misbegotten adventure film that stands out only because of the dinosaurs in the final minutes, this is a clunky adventure film that isn't very good. One person here on IMDb indicates that this is actually several episodes of an an sold TV show stitched together, which makes perfect sense owing to the compartmentalized structure of the films stories. Not really bad, it is like watching an old TV show that you never heard of for a good reason. I picked up the film because of the dinosaurs on the cover only to later read about how they only show up at the end, and then was shocked at how little even that was. My dislike for the film has nothing to do with the lack of monsters, indeed I was ready to bail on the film early on, but kept going because I wanted to see said beasties.Not worth your time, let alone your money

My research indicates that TWO LOST WORLDS is made up of two episodes of an un-aired T.V. series. Perhaps the producers of this T.V. series thought these pilot episodes were so spiffy that they decided to edit them into a feature film and release it to theaters. Perhaps not. It is more likely the series just did not sell. This explains the films bifurcated structure. The dinosaur sequences come from that often mined film ONE MILLION B.C.Other films made from unsold T.V. shows include PROJECT MOON BASE; JUNGLE HELL; TARZAN AND THE TRAPPERS; and INVISIBLE AVENGER. I'm sure there are a least a dozen more examples of films made from unsold pilots that could be found.
