Trivialities

[edit]

“The film uses two live creatures an Iguana and a Tarantula”. If the warthog hunted in the beginning isn’t real, it’s the best stop-motion I’ve ever seen. (Obviously the dead warthog is a model.) There’s also a grashopper or simila being eaten by the tarantula. … In fact, there seems to be a goat, too. I think I’ll just suggest this ought to say that it uses a mixture of real creatures and stop-motion. :-) -Ahruman 22:53, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's amazing, that the cave-women were wearing make-up & had their hair done up. Not to mention that the humans & dinosaurs were co-existing. GoodDay (talk) 15:28, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What's even more amazing is Raquel's gold bikini bottom she's wearing under her fuzzy britches - seen when she falls flat on her back. Who knew cavemen had such modesty or were subject to the Hays Code. Fanx (talk) 14:55, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's Loana who wins the cavewoman fight with Nupondi, finally pinning her with a giant tusk/claw. However Loana does not kill Nupondi with a rock despite the rest of the tribe urging her too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.18.3.241 (talk) 13:53, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is it an Allosaurus, or a Ceratosaurus?

[edit]

The plot says that two Allosaurs attack a sauropod, one is killed in the ensuing fight, and one survives. Next, it says that a Ceratosaurus enters the fray, and kills the Allosaurus, which would logically leave only the Ceratosaurus standing. The rest of the wording says that it is an Allosaurus (not a Ceratosaurus) that is seen throughout the rest of the film. Is this a movie glitch, or has someone just screwed up entering the plot? —67.236.172.221 (talk) 09:34, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

anachronisms

[edit]

One Million B.C. (1940) and the remake/homage One Million Years B.C. (1966) have both been criticised for the anachronism for having both dinosaurs and Cro-magnon type humanoids together Alley-Oop style in year 1,000,000 BCE. However, aren't both films recognized as "what-if' fantasies rather than docudramas? Naaman Brown (talk) 23:18, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, both films are recognised as 'schlock-horror, z-grade pap'. It wouldn't have made much difference if the volcano spewed out radioactive spiders and Plan 9 spaceships - this film is mostly notable for the Raquel Welch poster - everything else is filler. Fanx (talk) 15:06, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

symbolic volcano?

[edit]

It is suggested that the volcanic eruption at the climax may be symbolic. Of what, exactly? Tsuguya (talk) 04:52, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Language

[edit]

The infobox says "language = English". I don't quite remember the movie, but are you sure "language = none" wouldn't be more correct? Or it features narration of some kind? Hellerick (talk) 13:38, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No narration, as I can recall. "although she had only three lines in the film". This sounds strange, as I agree with your point. There aren't any "lines" in this film. The people talk "cave man". Only seem to have names for each person, name for spear, and a couple of other words. :-) --31.45.79.44 (talk) 02:09, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am watching it now on tv - there is some English narration at least at the beginning of the film, setting the scene of it being a film about two brothers, sons of the tribe leader. 137.222.248.111 (talk) 12:29, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious source

[edit]

A YouTube clip not posted by a rightsholder is used to source a claim about stock footage - are there better sources for this claim? --Lexein (talk) 09:35, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Time

[edit]

A recent edit in the lead paragraph replaced "loosely" with "inaccurately". Well, if we're talking about facts, loosely is a rather wry understatement (British humor?), given the date error of ~65x in one direction, and ~5x in the other direction. But because it's a fantasy film, inaccurately can't really apply, so we can just call the time period "fictional." So I did. Thoughts? --Lexein (talk) 22:34, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Brontosaurus

[edit]

So the sauropod in the movie is suppose to be a Brontosaurus (even though it was a synonym at the time). So the Diana and Ray Harryhausen foundation posted a picture of the sauropod model from the movie (because it's the anniversary) and they said it's a brontosaur. https://www.facebook.com/125012827632564/photos/a.125115524288961.23598.125012827632564/795994263867747/?type=3 --73.240.105.185 (talk) 17:17, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
