I had the sentence:
in the article. Twice, however, El Picante changed it to:
I think my version is better, because it explains why it was notable for its effects and El Picante's version just says that it had special effects, without saying why they were notable. I vote to change it back to my original version (or something similar). Any objections? Why? — Frecklefoot | Talk 18:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

In the plot synopsis, Icelandic periodite is mentioned as a heavy rock that must be present to make the lava sample unusually heavy. This should be Icelandic peridotite and should be linked to the entry on peridotite in Wikipedia. It is important as this is a plot point. Zawiah Saki ( talk) 09:58, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
I think it would be useful to mention that this film has influenced other films. For example, the famous big, round boulder that rolls after Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark appeared in this film first and it seems plausible that Spielberg borrowed the idea from Journey to the Center of the Earth.
The 1960 Irwin Allen film 'The Lost World' with volcanic explosions and slurpasaurs being covered in lava was probably rushed through to cash in on this film's success. As material from 'The Lost World' was endlessly recycled by Allen this version of Journey probably had a lot of secondary influence. As mentioned above, both films and the recycled material must have influenced the young Spielberg. Zawiah Saki ( talk) 10:20, 25 July 2008 (UTC)Revised Zawiah Saki ( talk) 10:22, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
Wasn't the film made in Carlsbad Caverns? If that's correct, it should be added. Dynzmoar ( talk) 13:08, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
"At the time of release, Journey to the Center of the Earth was a financial success, grossing $5,000,000 at the box office[1] (well over its $3.44 million budget[1])."
The standard approximation of financial success of a film (before the DVD era) was if it grossed three times its production cost. This would not qualify the film as a financial success. Does the reference give any evidence that it was a success besides the raw numbers? 76.11.2.177 ( talk) 19:49, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
What language does Carla speak to Hans in? A note on Imdb suggests Swedish, but is this reliable? PatGallacher ( talk) 18:19, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
