Though this story has interesting and humorous twists of turns. The real star in this series is the native Chongo, who saves this group of archeologists, pursued by modern-day pirates in the South Pacific.

Richard Donner started to display his brand of storytelling, way before Superman or Lethal Weapon.

Jan-Michael Vincent did display some talent before his "White Line Fever" days...

Fun to watch this campy series !

The Banana Splits Show had this flick in all its shows.... 5 minutes of 'Danger Island' every episode (that made it a 2 hour, 10 minute movie!).

Rockne Tarkington was the big handsome black guy, Jan(-Micheal) Vincent was the young boy, and Ronne Troup was the cute chick -- who NEVER took off her top! What's up with that?

This movie was shown in 10-minute increments on the Banana Splits (series) starting in 1968. I only saw a handful of clips & hardly remember after 50 years

I was born in 1966 & am guessing I watched sometime 1973-1975; unsure, cannot quite place in memory & events. I kinda think this was weekly daytime, but originally on Sat morn.

By chance, I came across the whole movie (3 parts) on YT & downloaded. I watched the whole thing, but only half paid attention, while looking at stuff on my 2nd & much larger screen (bored easily, ADD, haha).

The reruns ran until 1982. So, I'm guessing that those born from about 1958 to 1976 would've watched some Banana Splits & seen this. I only recommend to adults who saw it in their youth, or to current kids. It's silly, goofy & a little funny funny, besides being adventurous.
