The time: Sometime in the very distant (nonexistent) past. A tribe of evil primitive cave folks sacrifice gorgeous blonde women to the gods in order to be protected from lethal predatory dinosaurs. The lovely and feisty Sanna (the remarkably shapely and beautiful Victoria Vetri, a delicious "Playboy" Playmate who looks totally smokin' in her skimpy two piece fur bikini) manages to escape from the evil tribe and joins a much nicer tribe where she meets and falls in love with the kind, noble Tara (handsome hunk Robin Hawdon). When the moon appears on the horizon for the first time poor Sanna gets blamed for it and is subsequently banished from the tribe. Writer/director Val Guest treats the endearingly silly story with admirable seriousness and elicits sincere performances from the attractive cast. This immensely entertaining film offers a little something for everyone: we've got insanely hot cave babes clad in revealing outfits, cool and convincing stop-motion animation dinosaurs done by Dave Allen and Jim Danforth, muscular young men running about in loincloths, an attack by a carnivorous tree, Vetri playing with a cute baby dinosaur, men with spears fighting giant deadly reptiles, big killer crabs, fierce torrential storms, a wild beachside catfight, and, best of all, Vetri displaying her awesomely ample body in both a cave love scene and skinny-dipping sequence (make sure to see the 100 minute full uncut version or else you'll miss this tasty latter stuff). Dick Bush's crisp cinematography delivers a few striking visuals while Mario Nascimbene's lush orchestral score hits the stirring spot. Patrick Allen glowers effectively as the brutish villain Khaku. The luscious Imogen Hassall also makes a strong impression as jealous brunette spitfire Ayak. A hugely enjoyable, if admittedly preposterous picture.
score 8/10
