Storyline
Through a series of coincidences, Carrie, Dan and Dr. Hartmann all fall through a teleporter device Hartmann has invented. Transported to a what appears to be a prehistoric world in a parallel universe and unable to find the Doctor, Dan and Carrie must figure out a way to get back home. Before they can do that, however, they must deal with tribes of savage cavemen, as well as brutal warlord named Kleel who has taken a liking to Carrie and seems to be unusually well-supplied with Earth technology.

The Plot.
Through a series of coincidences, Carrie, Dan and Dr. Hartmann all fall through a teleporter device Hartmann has invented.
Transported to a what appears to be a prehistoric world in a parallel universe and unable to find the Doctor, Dan and Carrie must figure out a way to get back home.
Before they can do that, however, they must deal with tribes of savage cavemen, as well as brutal warlord named Kleel who has taken a liking to Carrie and seems to be unusually well-supplied with Earth technology.
This is not a horrible movie.
The acting is good and the directing is suitable.
It's easy to watch and you can space out here and there without losing the plot.
It's set in LA but all the cars have their steering wheels on the right side because this was filmed in South Africa where tehy drive the English way.
The movie can't be taken too seriously and frankly I think it was made more as a comedy with sci fi elements rather than in the reverse.
The special effects are horrible. It has the look of Flesh Gordon. Too bad Kay Lenz didn't do some porn in her day.
I liked the movie. It was fun and different. Nothing to write home about but good for a lazy rainy day
