If you're referring to the version of Journey to the Center of the Earth featuring James Mason, that came out in 1959, five years after Secret of the Incas. Not sure if that scene was included in Verne's original 1864 novel.
What do you know, it has a TV Tropes page[0]. Journey to the Center of the Earth does seem to be the oldest thing on there, after all - not that TV Tropes is necessarily comprehensive.
