History Literature / Pellucidar

* HypnotizeThePrincess: The Mahars of Pellucidar hypnotize ''everybody'', at least in the movie.

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Aside from the central premise, there's also the fact that some of the stories played with the notion of time as highly variable in a situation where there's no day-night sequence to measure it by. David Innes was once accidentally separated from his comrade and went through several ''weeks'' worth of adventures. When they were reunited, he discovered that since his friend hadn't needed to exert himself to anywhere near the extent David did, for him ''less than an hour had passed''. Needless to say, this isn't how time or clocks work.
