Seems to be a little more heavily edited than some other movies. I know some shots of dinosaurs dying were missing, but I think they may have removed a scene where the Brits take back the sub after the Germans took it back, hence Jonah & the Bots confusion.
Yeah, Ardy lampshaded it by saying some of the movie "leaked" out.

NANJAO. When they complained about Deitz wasn't in 2/3 of the movie, but now he's the baddie. It was amusing because in the novel Schoenharst is the villain. It was only in the adaptation where they made him nicer, so they had to make another German evil for the ending.

BTW Deitz later regenerated into the Master on Doctor Who. ;-)

“You know, not enough titles use Jimi Hendrix font.”

(The submarine’s periscope is seen poking out of the ocean)
(as Tyler): “We had sight of the elusive stick shark.”

Von Schoenvorts: “Arm tubes one and two.”
Jonah: “Arm tubes? What’s an arm tube?”
Crow: “A sleeve?”

Bradley (calling through the fog): “Where are you?”
Tyler: “Ahoy! Over here!”
(as Bradley): “In fog, ‘Over here’ is not really a useful direction!”

“You seem dehydrated. Here’s some booze.”

“All these guys are cosplaying as the same TinTin character.”

(Von Schoenvorts looks through the periscope at the fog)
“Oh, man, this kaleidoscope sucks!”

“Well, my peacoat just earned its name.”

(Tyler punches one of the German submariners in the stomach)
“No, Doug, that’s not how you do the Heimlich.”

(Von Schoenvorts makes an announcement to his crew in English)
(as Von Schoenvorts, to Tyler): “Aw, sheesh, I should have said that in German. Can I have a do-over?”

Tyler: “Is that a British warship?”
(as Bradley, looking through binoculars): “A model of one, sir, yes.”

(Bradley starts sending Morse code to the warship with a lamp)
(as Bradley): “Tweeting at them now, sir.”
(The warship fires at the sub)
(as Tyler, to Bradley): “Why’d you make fun of their mom?”

(Tyler seizes Dietz’s arm)
(as Dietz): “Hey, that’s my arm tube!”

Von Schoenvorts: “You will be shot as a pirate.”
“Oh, he’s a pirate? Is that why this movie’s rated ‘Arrr’?!”

(Sinclair turns and unbolts the door)
Storage Wars: Submarine Edition!”

Von Schoenvorts: “Would you like a drink?”
(as Tyler): “Hell, yeah. It’s Oktoberfest somewhere.”

Tyler: “If that tunnel’s as big as it looks we might get through.”
(as Tyler): “Besides, we’re riding on a model, so that’s gonna work in our favour.”

The Hunt for Murky October.”
“Urgh. Are they driving through Alka-Seltzer Plus?”

Jonah: “This is my fourth favourite submarine movie.”
Tom: “Really?”
Jonah: “Well, I only know of three others, so it’s also my least favourite submarine movie.”

“Oh, they drifted onto the set of Avatar.”

“Looks pretty paint-by-numbers.”
“The background or the plot?”

“Be vewy, vewy quiet. We’re hunting Tywannosaurus Wexes.”

(Bradley runs out of bullets in his rifle and starts firing his pistol at the allosauruses)
“Oh, good, a smaller gun; and if that doesn’t work, you can throw your shoes at ’em.”

(Bringing the caveman on board the submarine)
“Guys, this is my cousin Balki.”

(as caveman): “All right, guys. I see a lot of hunting and not a lot of gathering.”

(Under attack, the crew gather around the fire and face outwards)
“Emergency butt-warming commence!”

Von Schoenvorts (looking at a Sto-lu caveman): “This species is more advanced.”
(as Von Schoenvorts): “Just look at their SAT scores.”

(A triceratops guards a nest of eggs. An allosaurus approaches)
(as allosaurus): “What do you mean, stopped serving breakfast? I can see the eggs!”
(as triceratops): “You were supposed to be home four hours ago! Where have you been? Why do you smell like pterodactyl?”

“The Land That Time Forgot To Edit.”

(During the interminable styracosaurus stalking scene)
(as one of the styracosaurus): “Welcome to our street performance of Waiting for Godot, starring Stabby as Estragon and me, Pointy, as Vladimir.”
(as one of the rest of the landing party running through the forest): “Come on, guys, if we hurry we can still catch the last ten minutes of the dinosaur walking-around scene.”
(as Tyler): “I’m worried by the time I get to it, I might not be in the mood to kill any more.”
(as Morgan Freeman): “The styracosaurus moves through the forest, unaware that it is stalked by its natural predator, the World War I German U-boat captain, in a dance as old as time itself.”
“If this takes any longer, the dinosaurs are gonna evolve into birds and fly away.”

(The landing party arrives at the shore and fires to attract the attention of the U-boat crew)
Bradley: “Can you see anything?”
Lisa: “Yes, they’re watching.”
Jonah and the Bots: “Only because we have to!”

(One styracosaurus is killed)
(as the other one): “Good job we don’t mate for life. Back to Tinder!”

Von Schoenvorts: “It’s the same in the microscopic world.”
“Except big.”

(Long distance shot of the encampment)
“The cameraman clearly suffers from social anxiety.”

(Dietz looks around proudly with his head raised)
(as Dietz, singing): “Tomorrow belongs to me.”

(Ahm the caveman is sawing some wood)
(as Ahm, singing): “I’ve been workin’ on the railroad. / I don’t know what that is.”

Tyler (to Von Schoenvorts): “Auf wiedersehen.”
(as Tyler, singing): “I’d like to stay and taste my first champagne / But first I’ll shoot some dinos in the brain.”

“Oh, good, caveman attack. I was worried Tyler wouldn’t get to kill someone today.”

“McClure’s as tough as a three day old Wendy’s burger ... which he would eat.”

(A pterodactyl attacks)
“Doug McClure prepared for this part by rubbing chum in his hair and letting seagulls dive-bomb him in the mall parking lot.”

(The dinos are surrounded by burning lava)
(as the dinos) “We were told it would be a comet! A comet!”

“Grant Wood’s Land That Time For-Gothic.

(Bradley falls dying, pulling paperwork onto the floor with him)
(as Bradley): “I’m taking this NCIS fanfiction to hell with me!”

(Tyler voiceover as he and Lisa walk across a dramatic landscape)
Tyler: “With the sinking of the submarine, all our hopes of getting away from Caprona have disappeared.”
(as Tyler): “So we made a Lord of the Rings movie.”

Crow: “So basically [Tyler’s] decision to board the German sub led to the deaths of everybody on board both ships and countless endangered species. The end.”
Jonah: “And Cruella de Vil and Jon Snow lived happily ever after.”

The Land That Time Forgot will return in The Land That Time Forgot 2: The Remembering.”

Jonah: “And Cruella de Vil and Jon Snow lived happily ever after.”

Oh no they didn't.

The People That Time Forgot saw to that.
