Khaku dies of his injuries shortly after, while Kane's wounds are tended to by the Seaside tribeswoman Ulido.

Khaku's funeral pyre at the shore is followed by a tribal frenzy during which an enraged Ayak burns down Sanna's hut.

Meanwhile, the overzealous Kingsor takes over the Seaside tribe and the womenfolk begin dyeing their blonde daughters' hair with tar in order to prevent them from being sacrificed like Sanna.

As a tsunami looms overhead, Sanna arrives to save Tara and they escape with Kane and Ulido aboard a raft.

As the waters calm, the four survivors stop to witness a lunar eclipse, left in awe by the creation of the Moon above them.

[9] The stop-motion animation creature effects were created by Jim Danforth, assisted by David W. Allen and Roger Dicken, with each model costing over $3,000 each on average.

Dicken sculpted the plesiosaur, the Tylosaurus, the feet of the Rhamphorhynchus and model humans used in scenes where characters interacted directly with the creatures.

[11] Due to lack of time and money, and a violent altercation between Danforth and James Carreras,[12] many scenes were cancelled, including one that featured giant ants which would have been portrayed through an articulated, dog-sized model created by Dicken for close-up shots.

The uncut version was also released on Blu-ray in the United States on 28 February 2017 and DVD on 4 April by Warner Archive.

The film's title is referenced in Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park with a large rectangular banner hanging in the island's visitors' center.
