Does anyone have a list of movies that have had scenes shot at the Trona Pinnacles? Three that I know of are "Planet of the Apes", "Star Trek V", and "Land of the Lost". Here's an article about "Land of the Lost" starring Will Farrell.

There's also the "Lost in Space" TV series from the 1960s. This link has some stills taken from the TV show and identifies the locations where they come from.

Wasn't there an episode of "Twilight Zone" that was shot at the Pinnacles? Seems like a couple guys were busy dying in the middle of nowhere only to discover that they were within a mile of a highway the whole time. Kind of an odd ending!

A recent news article listed some movies shot in the general area (not necessarily at the Pinnacles). These movies included Jurassic Park, Dinosaur, Planet of the Apes, Holes, Hidalgo, Hulk, Iron Man, and Land of the Lost. Also it was noted that dozens of television shoes, music videos and well over 1,000 commercials have been shot in the general area. The article was written from a Ridgecrest-centric point of view, but what's in the general area for them is more or less in the general area for us!

Just saw that movie and it was LAME! How do movies that bad even get made? Dumbest story ever! There was just nothing good about that movie at all. Sorriest excuse for a movie I've ever seen.

Not sure if that movie even deserves B-list status. If it were a school project, the kid who turned it in would be flunked and sent back to preschool! I'm glad I only rented that movie on NetFlix. I'd be completely ashamed if I actually purchased a copy of it! I'd probably use it for target practice. Yep, that's what I'd do! :dizzy:
