Prehistoric Women

Prehistoric Women is both a action-adventure as well a comedy. It is about a group of lovely cavewomen determined to capture nice looking but slow witted cavemen for their mates. My favorite part of the film is the narration. This film is perfect for those who are loyal B-movie fans.

The narration of this epic is worth the price of admission alone. He should have gotten an Oscar!!! The screenplay is also priceless e.g. "it appears the swan dive was invented before the swan". How bizarre is that?? The special effects are also a real hoot especially the duck? goose? made up to be a pterodactyl. You can't go wrong with this one.

This is the kind of movie that people love to make fun of, and it certainly offers some scope for that kind of mockery. The story is thin and the special effects are, well, not particularly special. It has, however, long been my motto that the only bad movie is a movie that you don’t enjoy and, judged on that basis, PREHISTORIC WOMEN is one of the best films ever made! This movie has just about everything you could ask for; beautiful cavewomen with 1950’s hair styles, none-too-bright cavemen who somehow manage to make every discovery but the wheel in 74 minutes, a lumbering giant bent on killing everyone in sight... if there were some dinosaurs around it would be perfect! And then there is the stunning Laurette Luez who, despite having appeared in such acclaimed films as D.O.A. and KIM, is probably best remembered as Tigri, leader of the cavewomen. The colour print is quite good, although some of the night scenes are a bit dark. Overall I’m very pleased with this DVD and highly recommend it to all lovers of low budget cavewoman movies.
