If you have a Hammer-produced stone-age movie with dinosaurs by Ray Harryhausen starring Raquel Welch
in a fur bikini, you pretty much know what to expect - and this movie
does deliver!
Tumak (John Richardson), an outcast of the barbaric rock people, finds refuge with
Raquel's more civilized and technically advanced tribe, the shell
people, where he has a great fight with a dinosaur (and wins, of
course). Soon though, he is cast out again for being too barbaric and returns to the rock people with Welch, where his evil brother (Percy
Herbert) tries to gain leadership from his father. When a volcano breaks
out, though, both the rock people and the shell people are largely
decimated and join forces to survive under Tumak's leadership.
If you are looking for (pre-)historical accuracy here, you might just
be in the wrong picture, this being a Hammer-produced stone-age movie
with dinosaurs by Ray Harryhausen starring Raquel Welch in a fur bikini,
but if you want a fun ride about dinosaurs and Raquel Welch
(inexplicably blond in this movie) in a fur bikini with some of
Harryhausen's best stop motion-effects (which in many scenes interact
with the real actors quite convincingly), look no further. For some
scenes though, real life iguanas and spiders were used instead of
stop-motion.
A remake of One Million B.C. (1940) by Hal Roach (who was also
executive producer of this one) and Hal Roach jr. |
