But the superimposed lizard on the rock is just too goofy. :)<br /><br />And hey, I won't say no to a gal in a fur bikini either. Roman J.

But I have seen and own a copy of One Million Years BC. There's another movie in that vein I enjoy from time to time made by Hammer studios called Prehistoric Women or When Dinosaurs Rule the Earth. I think with all these films you have to suspend belief and just watch it for fun & the dinosaurs and such.

Yeah this one had next to no budget, that's for sure. But there is a lot of material to riff on. I can imagine this one being a fun solo view for the experienced viewer. :) I'm with you on the self parody thing. I'm not sure if they really thought it out that far. And the fact that there is a comic relief character in the film makes me think they were trying to say something about racial equality... but they really botched the execution.<br /><br />Yeah, Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women is pure pain. Mamie can't even save it... and that is saying something.Roman J.

The unexceptionable voiced message of racial equality in the film is so completely undermined by the casting and by unspoken elements of the script that one wonders if self-parody was intended. It’s good to hear this is a a solid episode for the series though; in company, I think I’d opt for MST3K.<br /><br />Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women, which you mention, however, I'll likely avoid watching again in any format. How can adding beautiful women (including Mamie van Doren!) in clamshell bikinis to a recut of a movie make it worse? Somehow it does.Richard Bellushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108081864942272619noreply@blogger.com
