This version was directed by Harry O. Hoyt and featured pioneering stop motion special effects by Willis O'Brien (an invaluable warm up for his work on the original ''Film/KingKong1933'' directed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack). Writer Doyle appears in a frontispiece to the film. In 1998, the film was deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.

* ImprobableTaxonomySkills: The explorers are able to identify the dinosaurs to the precise genus all while looking at them from a distance, despite them only having seen dino skeletons and so they should not know precisely what the real versions would look like—especially considering the millions of years of evolution in the interval, as well as the fact that only a handful of dinos had been discovered back then anyway.

* StockDinosaurArchetypes: Arguably the TropeMaker given its release in 1925 and the first movie to show them in a good variety, the dinosaurs are mostly stereotyped as territorial and aggressive, as shown with Allosaurus, Agathaumas, and Tyrannosaurus. Trachodon and Triceratops is more sympathetically portrayed, though the former only serves to be killed and eaten (oddly also shared with Pteranodon) while the latter is a mother defending her calf. Finally, the Brontosaurus is seen attacking humans, though this only takes place when the dinosaur is taken to London, meaning that it's likely the sauropod is lashing out due to being in unfamiliar lands and acting out of distress and panic.

Aversions are simply a trope not being used. They are not examples and should not be listed as such.

* YouDontLookLikeYou: Averted heavily. Virtually everyone, especially Wallace Beery as Professor Challenger, look almost ''exactly'' like how the novel described them.
