Unknown Island (1948)

Capt. Tarnowski: We're going back to that island, Fairbanks. Back to find the beasts that chewed up your pals while there were still alive and kicking. You wanna come along?
[laughs]
John Fairbanks: I'd blow my brains out first before I'd go back to that island.
Capt. Tarnowski: [turning to Carol and Ted] Well, you still wanna go?

Carole Lane: So, this is the notorious Captain Tarnowski?
Capt. Tarnowski: Ah, you heard about me, huh?
Carole Lane: No, but I probably will... from you.

Ted Osborne: I hate bringing you to a place like this, Carol.
Carole Lane: Don't be silly, Ted. I've been in worse places in New York and I had to pay a cover charge too. Only there, it's called Slumming. I'll survive and love it.

The two-legged dinosaurs (ceratosaurs) were rubber suits worn by actors in the desert of Palmdale, Ca. When the explorers shoot grenades at them, one of the beasts falls down, apparently dead. The actor inside the suit actually fainted from the extreme heat, and the director decided to use the footage.
All the footage of the principal actors was shot on sound stages at General Service Studios (now Hollywood Center Studios). Only the second unit filming dinosaurs and sloth in Palmdale, Corriganville, and the beach, were on location. All shots of the principals and monsters in the same shot were achieved with rear projection effects.
