Producer Michael Carreras fired original director Leslie Norman and took over as director. When he went over budget and schedule, his father, Hammer Films chief James Carreras, and the studio's solicitors arrived on set to shut the production down.
Dennis Wheatley reportedly couldn't even remember his 1938 novel on which the film was based.
Dana Gillespie talked about seeing this film in a theater and why she prefers music to acting. "I do remember when THE LOST CONTINENT (1968) first came out, I went to the premiere. But I thought I'd go and see the film again sort of anonymously in the local ABC in the Fulharn Road. And I went in and sat up the back to watch it and, the moment when I come on with these balloons on my shoulders, the whole audience fell about with laughter. Then I realized there's no point ever being taken seriously in the film world. But you know, if you're born with a particular shape, you're judged on how you look. It's a nuisance, and that's why I've always preferred music for my profession- because it really doesn't matter what color or shape or size you are."
In the first interior boat scene, the Doctor is reading "Uncharted Seas" by Dennis Wheatley, the book on which the film is based.
Michael Carreras' screenplay was credited to his gardener, Michael Nash.
"[facing down the Grand Inquisitor] Capt. Lansen: We're getting out. Now we can noisily, or we can go quietly. The choice is up to you. The Grand Inquistor: Where are you going? You're trapped here like the rest of us. There's no escape. Capt. Lansen: How do you know? Have you ever tried? The Grand Inquistor: Our ancestors tried. Capt. Lansen: I'm not talking about them, I'm talking about you. The Grand Inquistor: It's God's will! Capt. Lansen: It's your will, because you want it this way! You do it in the name of God through this child here because you haven't got the guts to do your own dirty work! The Grand Inquistor: You speak bravely of escaping. How are you going to do it? Capt. Lansen: I don't know, but we'll try. The Grand Inquistor: You will fail! Capt. Lansen: Then we'll go on trying, and the day we stop trying we stop living!"
"Capt. Lansen: What kind of a circus is this, anyway? The Grand Inquistor: You are in the court of El Supremo. The Chosen One. Nick, chief engineer: He means the lad sitting on the throne. Capt. Lansen: That boy? Harry Tyler: He's the one who pays the piper!"
