Danger Island is an American live-action adventure serial produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and originally broadcast on NBC during the 1968–69 season, as a segment of The Banana Splits Adventure Hour.[1] It was filmed in Mexico, directed by future Superman, The Goonies and Lethal Weapon director Richard Donner, and featured Jan-Michael Vincent as Lincoln 'Link' Simmons.[2]
The series comprises a six-hour adventure yarn broken down into 36 short chapters. Each chapter is roughly ten minutes long and includes a suspenseful cliffhanger ending that is resolved in the next installment. The live-action segment was created to cut production costs on the mostly-animated hour-long show.[3]
