This version of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" is by far the best version. Michael Caine is an excellent Captain Nemo and Brian Nelson made Pierre Arronax into an interesting and complex character. Pierre, who is constantly under the criticism of his father, searches for the sea monster and ends up on board the Nautilus. The submarine is an excellent design - it is beautiful and yet menacing and has plenty of space for its occupants. (The Model Smiths did a superior job on the models for this film.) The story follows some of the same lines as Verne, with the exception of depth to the characters and the addition of characters to add to the plot. This movie is definitely a "must see"!!

This is one of my favourite movies. I loved Herbert Lom and Michael Dunn. From my research on this movie, it was supposed to have a twist in the ending, but it was "badly edited" and good elements of the story were lost. (I am familiar with Henry Slesar's writings and his stories are excellent and unpredictable.) I have been looking for the "unedited" screenplay for over 10 years now, so if anyone knows where to find it or what the missing elements of the story are... I would love to see this movie unedited!

Even edited, this movie is worth watching. Herbert Lom does an excellent job in this role. No "Phantom" has been able to match him.

Story summary: Madeline (Christine Kauffman) , a horror actress, is haunted by nightmares of an axeman. (Her mother was brutally murdered with an axe 12 years earlier.) A badly scarred actor, Rene Marot (Herbert Lom), who was in love with her mother comes back from the "dead" and murders former members of the acting troup with acid. What do these nightmares have to do with these murders? Who is this scarred actor and why is he committing these murders? Who killed Madeline's mother? Watch the movie and find out!
