'''''Land of the Lost''''' is the [[The Film of the Series|motion picture version]] of the [[Land of the Lost (TV series)|NBC series of the same name]], released in the summer of 2009, featuring Will Ferrell. The film is more comedic and slapsticky than the series, but also includes drug-use sequences and plenty of sexual humor, making the marketing campaign's partial targeting of children highly confusing. It's more a parody (described as such by Ferrell himself) than actually bearing any relation to the series.

=== ''Land of the Lost'' provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Action Dress Rip]]: Holly, after they arrive in the jungle, rips her pant legs off and turns them into shortshorts. See [[Ms. Fanservice]].
* [[Adaptational Villainy]]
Line 14 ⟶ 13:
* [[Another Dimension]]
* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]
* [[Artistic License: Biology]]: How Marshall escapes after being eaten by Grumpy.
* [[Better Than a Bare Bulb]]: The movie has a ''lot'' of [[Lampshade Hanging]], played for laughs.
* [[Big Damn Hero]]: Marshall and Grumpy.
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Rick Marshall is a serious hardcase, though all three main characters qualify.
* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: Some moments of "humor" in the movie rely on this (making them not funny at all). Like when an ice-cream vendor end up on The Land and is attacked by carnosaurs, the "heroes" just watch (and film), not showing the slightest bit of empathy. Likewise, when Rick is drained of blood by a giant mosquito, his companions just stare, never making a move to help him.
* [[DressedDressing Asas Thethe Enemy]]: done by Marshall and Will with ''molted Sleestak skins.'' It's not as [[Squick|Squicky]]y as it sounds, though.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Dinosaurs]]
* [[Godiva Hair]]: {{spoiler|Cha-ka's wives.}}
* [[Green Rocks]]: The light crystals.
Line 36 ⟶ 35:
* [[Ontological Mystery]]
* [[People in Rubber Suits]]
* [[Plot Hole]]: It's hard to believe that some of the things that obviously went missing from the present weren't missed by anyone. Also, how did so many things go missing without a tachyon amplifier, even assuming the spot had unusually high tachyon levels, if the main characters only got transported to the same spot because they had one?
* [[Power Crystal]]
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]
Line 43 ⟶ 42:
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Dr. Marshall does it so often that it's lampshaded.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: All the protagonists.
* [[Super -Persistent Predator]]: Grumpy the ''T. rex''. Very slightly justified in that Marshall dumped urine of an herbivorous dinosaur on himself, thinking it would camouflage him. Doesn't explain why the ''T. rex'' was chasing them so much earlier in the movie, though. That was just... spite.
* [[Trapped in Another World]]
* [[Tyrannosaurus Rex]]
