  Dispite several flaws and become an unintended comedy, One Million Years B.C. it's one of the most remarkables and likable 'caveman era' that I ever saw. Without forget the classic special effects.

  While perhaps historically inaccurate here is still a rousing imaginative adventure take on what really old school may have been like Edgar R. Burroughs style. Harryhausen animation does nice background work as usual and the young buxom Ms. Welch's loincloth bikini does the rest in this fantasy about the savage beginnings of social networking pre- Facebook. Fun.

  *One of my top 20 films I think we all know about the famous poster with Raquel Welch and that look became more famous then the film itself. I think one million years B.C. is a very underrated and over looked film that deserves more then what's its got because its epic. And its holding a 50%. Like when dinosaurs ruled the earth, this movie is fantastically done and one of the best dinosaur or Stone Age film ever. [IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/oqxidj.jpg[/IMG] Tumak, a member of the Rock Tribe, is expelled from their cave after running afoul of their leader Akhoba, who also happens to be his father. After several days of wandering, he meets stumbles upon several female members of the Shell Tribe, a group that lives on the coast. Loana, the daughter of the chief, sees that he is in terrible shape from his ordeal and nurses him back to health. This causes her betrothed to become jealous and eventually the two of them get into a major fight and Tumak is expelled as a result. However, Loana decides to join him and follows him back to the caves of his people. While there Loana teaches the Rock people civility and this causes Tumak to become the new leader (Akhoba was severely injured while Tumak was away). This doesn't sit well with Tumak's brother Sakana who begins to plot to have Tumak overthrown. [IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/iwhfo8.jpg[/IMG] This movie is the first part in the cave girls trilogy next is When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth and Creatures the World Forgot. The best one is this but I thought the last was really weak and just not as good. This is also a remake of the original and I think ever die hard fan of these films will know the original had a lot of stock dino footage that went into other films of its time. 100% for story: Only because it's epic to look at. I think the ending is mad. 90% for acting: They don't say really anything thought the film because there Cave people but. 100% for special effects: I think there amazing for its time and even today they still beat crappy looking CGI. I think any stoner would love it. 100% for characters: I think there awesome and Raquel Welch character is the best. 100% for everything else: I liked the settings, Places, dinosaurs, Environment, Really all that stuff. I think once or if you came across it you should watch it, just for the sake of looking at it. Keiko's score 95-100

  Christ, this is boring! Unfortunately for us, it was such a success upon first release that Hammer 'treated' us to two more pictures in the same vein, "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth", which I've not yet been unlucky enough to catch, and "Creatures the World Forgot", which is even worse than this! "One Million Years B.C." is virtually plotless; Raquel and her boyfriend just seem to drift backwards and forwards from his tribe to hers (and back again), fending off the occasional dinosaur when our attention threatens to flag. The effects work isn't too shabby but it hasn't aged well.

  Utterly ridiculous but entertaining if you're in the mood and Raquel IS breathtaking.

  Raquel Welch in an animal skin bikini gets menaced by anachronistic stop motion monsters. Absolute rubbish. But RAQUEL WELCH IN AN ANIMAL SKIN BIKINI!! (As you can imagine, only one section of the demographic population is catered for here...)

  Good remake of 1939 prehistoric adventure with sexy Raquel Welch with her fur-bikini that makes her look hot.

  If you've never seen the movie I'm sure you've seen the poster. The image of Welch in her fur bikini is one of the most iconic in all pop culture, even playing a part in the plot twist of "The Shawshank Redemption". Apart from her pneumatic figure and Harryhausen's stop-motion creations there's little else to hold your attention though.Those Harryhausen creatures are fantastic however. After the groundbreaking "Jason & the Argonauts", also helmed by Chaffey, this is probably his most impressive work. The foot tall models blend almost seamlessly with the live action with caveman spears bouncing realistically off dinosaur hides. For some reason the producers decided to implement footage of live lizards and turtles alongside the stop-motion beasts. Those scenes look ridiculous in comparison to the ones Harryhausen worked on. Obviously the movie is historically ridiculous but giant turtles living alongside T-Rexes? While it's no classic, this movie did have some important implications. It's completely dialogue free save for a few caveman grunts. There's also a psychedelic representation of the big bang. Both these elements were no doubt significant in enabling Kubrick to get "2001: A Space Odyssey" made. Had this not been the box-office smash it was I doubt studios would allow a 30 minute opening featuring neanderthals or an LSD style rebirth of man sequence. If you enjoy cleavage and stop-motion dinosaurs (and what man doesn't love at least one of the two?) then this is definitely worth a look but unfortunately all the meat is on Welch and not the story.
