You may recognize Rostov from "Attack of the Puppet People", which RiffTrax was so good as to skewer. You may recognize him from a lot of stuff, actually; John Hoyt was a prolific actor who was in Star Trek and lots and lots of westerns, among many other things.

FOUND! The “lost” last five minutes of Lost Continent…
The survivors finally make it back to civilization and find out the rocket was already obsolete before they even left. The search party was just an elaborate ruse to get rid of Major Joe Nolan (Cesar Romero) for a few weeks so the commanding General could nail the base hussy, Marla. That night Major Nolan confronts the General at the Officers Club, his face contorted in rage. “Now just take it easy, Joe,” the General says, “I can explain.” Major Nolan draws back his fist. The General cowers, “I swear, Joe, I didn’t know about all the rocks.” Major Nolan is ready to strike, ablaze in anger, then pulls his punch, laughs heartily, holds out his hand for the General to shake, says, “You sly old so and so…you really got me good this time, General, I have to give you that!” (laugher) “Hope you were careful, General, and if not name it after me!” (wild laughter) “Now buy me a beer!"
THE END.

I have a technical question. How did they make Mike (as Hugh Beaumont) look like he was in black and white? I considered it could be just good art design and makeup but then he lit his pipe and his face was its normal color in that light. Is there some light filter that cuts out all color?

This is one of my favorites because of the way that Joel and the Bots totally lose it because of the rock climbing. I know a lot of folks that have a tough time with this episode, but I think the pay off is worth it. Not only do we get Cesar Romero, but we also get "monkey boy" Sid Melton. Plus, Crow's line, "Will someone PLEASE tell the director about compressing time through editing?!", is a complete classic.
