Land of the Lost is the 2009 Science Fiction Adventure Comedy based on the 1974 series of the same name, directed by Brad Siberling and starring Will Ferrell, Anna Friel and Danny McBride.The story focuses on Rick Marshall (Ferrell), a somewhat pompous paleontologist whose career was waylaid after a disastrous TV interview where his theories of time warps were ridiculed, thus he now works as a lowly job at a Tar Pit tourist attraction. However, he's approached by a college student, Holly Cantrell (Friel), who believes his theories could be right after showing him proof via a fossil of a cigarette lighter, and a crystal that gives off tachyon energy. After building an amplifier for it, they head for a cave that gives off the same energy. Joined by Will Stanton (McBride), the gift shop owner where the cave is located, the three venture in and discover a time warp which they fall into. Winding up in the alternate world where objects of various cultures and periods litter the land and populated by primate-like beings (such as their friend, Cha-ka), dinosaurs and lizard people. It's the find of a century! But can the group survive the world's dangers and more importantly, find a way back to their world.The film is more comedic and slapsticky than the series, but also includes drug-use sequences and plenty of sexual humor, making the marketing campaign's partial targeting of children highly confusing. It's more a parody (described as such by Ferrell himself) than actually bearing any relation to the series. | |

Dumb Dinos: Parodied. When a Tyrannosaurus rex attacks the protagonists, but they outwit it by crossing a log bridge, Marshall notes as it walks away that it only has a brain the size of a walnut. The T. rex takes it as a personal insult and attacks the protagonists again. Later it drops a gigantic walnut in front of the cave where the protagonists are hiding, just to prove a point. Seeing as real tyrannosaurs actually did not have brains the size of walnuts and research indicates that they were some of the more intelligent dinosaurs, he's right to be offended. | |

In this film, they're not related to each other, and the later two get an Age Lift into adults, with their names changed from Will and Holly Marshall to Will Stanton and Holly Cantrell. | |

Comedic Sociopathy: Some moments of in the movie rely on this. When an ice-cream vendor end up on The Land and is attacked by dromaeosaurs, our heroes just watch (and film), not showing the slightest bit of empathy. Likewise, when Rick is drained of blood by a giant mosquito, his companions just stare, never making a move to help him. | |

By the time he came out, Grumpy was feeling much more affectionate towards him. | |

Super-Persistent Predator | |
| Land of the Lost / int_ad982e04 | comment |
Super-Persistent Predator: Double subverted with Grumpy the T. rex. The first time he goes chasing after the protagonists, he initially proves willing to leave them well enough alone after reaching a point where they appear to be more trouble than they're worth like any modern day carnivore. But then Marshall loudly crows to the other protagonists about Grumpy 'having a brain the size of a walnut' while he's still in earshot...at which point the visibly insulted dinosaur promptly lunges across the chasm and continues the chase just to get back at Marshall over the insult. And ultimately, it isn't until Grumpy manages to both eat Marshall and subsequently end up accidentally getting some preexisting intestinal blockage removed when Marshal...exits out the back door that the angry dinosaur finally stops chasing after the group. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Land of the Lost / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Rick Marshall is a living breathing example of this trope. He wears Florsheim zipper boots on what was supposed to be a field expedition, repeatedly espouses incorrect information about the intelligence of prehistoric wildlife; even after said wildlife proves to be more intelligent than he gives them credit for, and covers himself in the urine of herbivorous dinosaurs in an attempt to disguise his scent from carnivorous dinosaurs. | |

Advertising by Association: In the wake of this movie's release, Universal Studios released the 1970 movie adaptation of H.R. Pufnstuf, on DVD, which contained a blurb on top of the front cover stating, "From the Producers of Land of the Lost" (Even though Sid & Marty Krofft completely created both series). | |

It Can Think: Grumpy doesn't take well to having his brain compared to a walnut. He even dumps a giant walnut outside their cave, just to prove a point. | |

Flanderization: The Sleestaks are little better than shambling zombies in the film while in the series they were slow-moving and technologically primitive but still had a society and used tools such as arrows. | |

Mushroom Samba: While the group is relaxing at a time-displaced motel pool, Chaka finds some fruits and gets Marshall and Will to partake. Holly then translates Chaka's description of them, revealing them to be heavily narcotic. The guys then spend roughly half a day stoned out of their minds while Holly tries to locate a way home. | |

Brick Joke: Will initially distrusts Enik because he is wearing a tunic that reminds Will of sinister fictional characters. When it turns out that Enik is a convicted criminal, the judges mention that part of Enik’s 10,000 year punishment was being forced to wear a tunic as a symbol of his deceit. | |
