I went to a local cinema to a kids' matinee showing an old film, When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, when I was about 10-12yo? Dinosaurs and naked women. It was the greatest film I'd ever seen.... lmao
This kind of fantasy-scify sub-genre of several prehistoric species and man in an epic adventure with no regard for scientific accuracy needs to make a comeback. Heck, today a visionary director could even add dragons or other made-up creatures. Too bad "10.000 b. C." was a flop and "Primal" is relegated to the small screen, because today's technology is ready for a remake of "1 billion b. C."
You just stated almost exactly what I was thinking! Outdated "retrosaurs" that are essentially oversized lizards and crocodiles make for great fantasy creatures in their own right and would be right at home in an ASOIAF-style gritty low-fantasy epic with warring neolithic-level tribes and civilizations
That certainly would be brilliant as there are many bits that were scripted for When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth that simply couldn't be achieved because they were just far too ambitious, and while today it would be all CGI lacking the charm of the StopMotion I wouldn't mind a remake for either one of these films, personally I would prefer When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth is my favourite out of the 2 LOL 🤣
One Million Years BC is easily one of my favorite cult classics, and it's not hard to see why. Can't say no stop-motion dinosaurs and busty fur bikini clad babes. 🦖🦕
18:07 That’s the Stop Motion Footage I saw on “Dinosaurs Fun Fact & Fantasy”. I wish this footage was released on DVD so I can watch this relic. 18:24 Actually the horned Dinosaur is a Chasmosaurus or Pentaceratops. Also the Meat Eating Dinosaur looks more like a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Ah okay, when I was reading the interview from Roger Dickens he referred to the meat-eating dinosaur as an Allosaurus, so you might have to take that one up with him 🤣
@@ScribblestoScreen How can I do that? I don’t know how to get a hold of one of those special effects wizards. Especially Jim Danforth. Speaking of which, I left a Bonus Comment, check it out.
What a great tribute, and Documentary this is. Thanks for sharing with all of us Oldsters. Many of whom saw the original films as kids. 👍👍& 5⭐ for all.
@@docsavage-8616 I guess it's because of the stereotype of effeminate gays or gays in drag standing on tiptoe all the time as the T. rex and other theropods did. So I wonder what this lady thought about the way most birds walked. Maybe she would have preferred them to waddle like penguins (like Godzilla, who's so "macho") or the way tiny songbirds hop with legs in synchrony like kangaroos?
Confirming. Yes its supposed to be a Chasmosaurus. I though at first that he was using 'Triceratops" to mean 'ceratopsian dinosaur', but he later says Triceratops/Styracosaurus so it seems like it was misidentified.
Chasmosaurus frill not round like Triceratops and other Ceraptopsians. Top and sides of frill of Chasmosaurus is streight and its smaller than Triceratops.
What? Nothing about "The Lost World (1925)" ? 1925 American silent fantasy giant monster adventure film adapted from Arthur Conan Doyle's 1912 novel of the same name. The film was produced and distributed by First National Pictures, a major Hollywood studio at the time, and stars Wallace Beery as Professor Challenger. It was directed by Harry O. Hoyt and featured pioneering stop motion special effects by Willis O'Brien, a forerunner of his work on the original King Kong
I think the effects in "When Dinosaurs Ruled..." may possibly be slightly better than in the earlier film. I love how this guy says "shudio"--veddy British!
DW Griffith was to be the original director of One Million BC (1940). Apparently he was interested doing the dinosaurs using stop motion instead of the lizards used in the final film.
UK fans wouldn't know about this but USA viewers saw an edited version of One Million Years BC. Censors were concerned about a disturbing scene involving ape-men in the cave sequence where one murders another. I have never seen this scene except on the British DVD.
The movie " When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth" was made by British Hammer Studios and originally included a simulated sex/ nude scene. Hammer studios had nude scenes in many of their movies as British social standards were a bit different from American social standards. As an example, British model Samantha Fox got her start as a topless model appearing in a Tabloid newspaper called "The Sun": This tabloid featured bare bosomed women on page 3 of their newspaper for years. In fact, Samantha Fox got her start because the tabloid was having a contest looking for more women to pose topless on page three, and her mother sent in a picture of her in lingerie. Ms. Fox got most of the readers votes and was offered the job of appearing bare bosomed in their newspaper, but since Ms. Fox was underage at the time her mother signed the contract for her. By contrast, in America there was a HUGE scandal because Janet Jackson very briefly bared one breast during the Superbowl XXXVIII halftime show. "Accident" or no it it caused a lot of controversy. Well, when Dinosaurs was sent to America the nude/ sex scene was edited out. This movie is on TH-cam in its' edited version.
18:45 nope.. actually the mother in the film is the rhedosaurus from the beast from 20,000 fathoms, actually Ray Harryhausen's first film without Willis O'brien's help and is the film that, without its existence, Godzilla a year later very well could not have ever been created its, its own thing.
It isn't the same stop-motion puppet but a look-alike inspired by Harryhausen's rhedosaurus design. I always thought of the rhedosaurus as a primitive marine reptile something like the Triassic Nothosaurus, and the giant mama rep in WDRTE as a creature based on the "thecodonts" (now an invalid taxonomic classification) or one of the early terrestrial crocodilians of the Triassic.
Bonus Comment: Right I should’ve said this one sooner last week, but here’s what I have to say on my next reply. 17:16 That’s quite a nice pose the 4 legged meat eater is in. 17:33 Hello, what’s this? A 2 legged Dinosaur. 17:36 Hey, that looks like the Armature I saw on a different image. So it was true, they originally planned to put in a 2 legged Dinosaur along with some of the other Creatures in the Film. But I wonder what it would’ve looked like with Muscle & scales? 18:07 I thought it was going to be like this. Also, 17:33 Where can I find this image of the Stop Motion Armature? I would like to carefully do an outline to recreate it as a Concept Art Design. If I ever get a chance.
The information along with many of the photographs was taken from Little Shoppe of Horrors magazine issue 41, I've got my copy on Amazon so it shouldn't be too hard to get, hope this helps.
Looking at my analytics it seems to be the most popular point that people like to skip too, absolutely no way you can say this today without a title wave of controversy.
13:55 Victoria Vetri, dissed Charles Manson, when he came to the house she lived in, to show demo films to Pulanski. Manson came back later with his _Family_ and murdered them all. But Victoria was away at the time, and blamed herself for the murders. Which led to severe Paranoia, and the eventual attempted murder of her 2nd husband, and several years in jail.
and imagine finding out that the reason their isn't one is because some executive lady thought they looked gay. lol might be the strangest reason i ever heard to not include a T-Rex in something
"Akita akita AKIIITA! Akita? Akita! Akita akita akita akita AKIIIITA!"...yeah, that movie's dialogue gets annoying fast. Even the parody film "Caveman" (1981) had much more logical 'prehistoric language'!
@@docsavage-8616 Yes, but having lived in Japan in my childhood I immediately thought of the large Japanese dog breed the Akita. Interesting also that when Luanna, in One Million Years B.C., sees the giant sea turtle, she calls it by its proper scientific genus name, "Archelon." Gal was a taxonomist ahead of her time!
Okay, just for the record, I saw the movie in the U.S. when it was first released in theaters, and it most definitely did not contain those topless scenes. In fact, I remember at the time reading an interview by Victoria Vetri in which she referred to those scenes and I remember thinking -- what's she talking about -- I would definitely have remembered them. So there was definitely an alternate U.S. version theatrical without those scenes. As for the G rating -- it's important to remember -- back then, nobody cared about violent content. I have a dub of (I think) an early Hammer Dracula sequel -- one where somebody is beheaded and is headless corpse is strung up over Dracula's coffin -- the blood dripping in bringing the ashes of Dracula back to life. At the front of the movie, the rating certificate. Rated G. Apparently G for Gore. But the point is, at the time, back in the seventies, the ratings board really didn't care how many heads got chopped off so long as there weren't any boobs or bad language.
I saw the film when it was first released in the UK including the topless scenes. It was rated 'A' at the time which meant anyone could go and see it but parents were advised that there were scenes that might be unsuitable for children. When the Godfather series of films was re-edited as a TV miniseries the scene where Al Pacino's character sees his wife topless on their wedding night is clumsily censored but later on we see someone shot in eye with blood coming out afterwards.
I sure do miss those Glorious Entertainment Days. The majority of films made then, left the audience with Hope at the end. Unlike the trash today, that glamorizes Gore, Sex, Inappropriate Behavior, & Drugs. 👍👍& 5⭐

Can anybody tell me which movie/tv show/tv advert features a scene where a family sit down at a table for breakfast and a dinosaur pops out of an egg they were about to eat?

There is a legend that the movie When Dinosaurs ruled the Earth had an extra fight scene between the two female love interest that was more realistic. Do you know if there is any truth to that?
Actually, the scenes that I remember most vividly were the sexy catfight between Ayak (the brunette cavegirl) and Sanna (the blonde cavegirl) in the ocean and the scene at the finale in which Ayak gets gobbled into a pit of deadly quicksand that she accidentally runs into while fleeing towards the raft Tara is escaping on as a the tidal wave approaches.

Very informative! I did know of the scrapped brontosaurus ending for 1 million years bc and the the scrapped theropod dinosaur for when dinosaurs ruled the earth, but I didn't about everything else! Cool stuff!
Am I the only one who wouldn't mind a movie or two like these get remade w/modern visual fx & better, more grounded writing? Sure. Dinosaurs & man never coexisted, but perhaps a clever writer could figure out a way around the problem.
That's because it is a movie about our moronic ancestors. Nearly incredible they were able to evolve into our modern intelligence (which has nevertheless committed its own abundance of moronic acts throughout history).
