Trivia
John Richadson's love interest in the film is Raquel Welch. In real life, he married co-star Martine Beswick. See more »Goofs
No Pterosaur (winged reptile) would be able to lift up an adult human. To be able to fly, they had to be extremely light-weight, and even the biggest species weighed only about a hundred kilograms. Aside from this, they were mostly fish-eaters or scavengers, so humans would be completely off-menu. Finally, Pterosaurs didn't have the ability to grasp and hold objects with their feet.

Crazy Credits
Characters and scenes appearing and names used are imaginary, and every reference to names, characters or facts really happened is purely fictional. See more »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 Beswicke) 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).

Raquel Welch's later, more solid acting performances will never erase our memories of this dinosaur-epic wherein she runs around in full cavegirl regalia. Then again, she may not want them to. Time has been surprisingly kind to this reworking of 1940's "One Million B.C." The special effects are very good, the wilds of prehistoric nature are often excitingly, colorfully captured, and handsome John Richardson is charismatic as a caveman who, along with Welch, ditches his tribe to set out on a personal journey. Yes, it's Raquel in a fur-bikini that most people will remember, but a good time is had by all. **1/2 from ****
