An easteregg hinting at the future Arnold Schwarzenegger film Last Action Hero (1993) may be seen in The People That Time Forgot (1977). Based on the 1800's fantasy adventure story by Edgar Rice Burroughs, this stars Sarah Douglas, later in Conan The Destroyer (1984).
Around 20 minutes into "People" the Douglas character can be seen loading film into her camera (a large golden rectangular shape) to capture an image of a Stegosaurus dinosaur. I thought this a hint to the Golden Ticket given to the boy played by Austin O'Brien in Last Action Hero. The movie-within-a movie world seen in Last Action Hero crosses over into "reality" in that film and the boy finds himself on the run and fighting off the bad guys along side his movie idol.
Actress Susan Penhaligon was in the previous film, 1974's The Land That Time Forgot. In a previous video I noted her resemblance to actor Johnny Depp. With this actor there is apparently another reference to a film with a golden ticket: Tim Burton's 2005 adaptation of Roald Dahl's Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. In this story, the candy of confectionary wizard Willy Wonka is among the world's most sought after leisures. A golden ticket is placed randomly into the candy and the ones who find it are granted a tour of the highly guarded company.
The People That Time forgot includes several noteworthy cast of the original Star Wars film (Episode IV: A New Hope) released the same year: 1977. These are Darth Vader actor David Prowse and Richard LeParmentier. Additionally: John Wayne was credited with a small part in Star Wars, his son Patrick played the lead in "People". Darth Vader voice James Earl Jones was later in the original Conan The Barbarian (1982).
