Anecdotes
This was the fifth and final feature to be produced by cinematographer Jacques R. Marquette. This was far more upscale than his previous four features including a longer running time and being shot in color and anamorphic widescreen. His career would continue for more than 25 years as a cinematographer.

Gaffes
In the castle - notably in the scene with the gorillas - a switch-box and electrical conduit are clearly visible on the wall. The story takes place in 1878, long before such electrical equipment would have been installed.

Citations
Hindu: Don't be misled. There could be a thousand cannibals beneath those fronds and you wouldn't see one. It was among these very trees that the unfortunate Frenchman Maison was murdered in 1845.
[picks up a piece of cheese]
Hindu: He was captured by the cannibals of the region and tied to the foot of a giant cocoa palm.
[begins cutting the cheese]
Hindu: Then the savage chief cut him slowly, limb from limb, and then literally tore the half-severed head from the body. Maison was only 26. Cheese?
[offers Ellen some cheese]

Mindless Junk

I remember seeing this movie on cable TV. I watched it because my high school was closed up for a snow day. My parents were working and my brother was spending the day with my grandparents. I was home alone skipping through the dials when I saw this movie. Flight of the Lost Balloon was a grade Z movie with a bunch of unknown actors who embark on a journey to an Arabian land to save a friend of theirs.

As I recall the movie took place in medeval times and yet they traveled in a hot air balloon? People back then didn't have hot air balloons! What were the writers smoking? The grand finale comes when they save their friend and the villain was holding onto the balloon wanting to fight with them. The lead female in this movie didn't do anything, except scream on top of her lungs. This movie was ridiculously bad that it deserves to be listed in the B-Movie Hall of Shame! When I watched this I was making fun of it a'la MST3K who, by the way could've had a field day mocking this piece of junk! Was I the first to comment on this? Look, Ma! Me First!
