    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Ursula Andress was offered the role of Loana, but passed on the project due to salary demands.
    • Goofs
      When the boy tries to steal the meat and has his hand stood on, he cries out and there is a lingering shot of his mouth, showing dental fillings.
    • Quotes

      [repeated line]

      Loana: Akita!

    • Crazy credits
      Characters and scenes appearing and names used are imaginary, and every reference to names, characters or facts really happened is purely fictional.
    • Alternate versions
      The British version runs 100 minutes and features 9 minutes of footage cut from American prints. This includes a scene where Nupondi (Martine Beswick) does a provocative dance; Tumak (John Richardson) tastes from the container of paint in the Shell Tribe's cave; and an extended violent scene of a fight among the ape-men while Tumak and Loana (Raquel Welch) hide, and extended scenes showing Tumak, as he leaves his tribe, shown wandering the valley, and coming across the skeleton of a giant lizard. The widescreen laser disc is the British version (which gives Richardson first billing), while the VHS release is the American version (which gives Welch first billing).

    Stop motion animation and the Lady Schick.
    Ray Harryhausens work is unparalleled and is once again to be admired in this film. I was intrigued that the first thing hygiene wise that humans (at least women) must have come up with was shaving. The females in this movie are all clean shaven in places where women traditionally have kept themselves clean shaven. The men obviously weren't going to learn this art until some time later. Nonetheless this motion picture is one of those that never gets tired with repeated viewings.
