Imagine being an eight year old paying a nickel to watch three or four of this type of movies plus some westerns on a Saturday afternoon. Good times. Sadly gone.
And remember if you got the winning ticket you got to put your hand in the fishbowl and whatever coins you grabbed were yours to keep and 5 cents bought a huge Hershey bar
Professor Groves has a serious problem controlling his anger, for a man of science and reason he is a most unreasonable person, going on angry tirades like a spoiled brat.
Made it .5 way through. Shane poorly cast. Should have been the sherrif. He was inspector Henderson, after all. The music is ridiculous. But, it was entertaining, at worst. The saber teeth prosthetics harken to the Killer Shrews, another corker.
A zoologist and a game warden discovered a saber tooth cat, extinct for 20,000, or more, years. The first thing they do is kill it, then both leave it where they killed it, not even trying to cut a small tree to carry it between them, then and there. Also, neither thought to bring a camera. Is there not more than one thing wrong and stupid about that whole scenario?
At the time, most actors and scriptwriters came from the stage. There was no CGI at the time so special effects had to be manipulated using trick photography and stop-motion. Quite often there were a lot of mistakes made. The actual tiger did not have saber teeth. When the doctor pulled up to the house, the passenger door was ajar. Most Sci-fi movies were low-budget. For older movies we must suspend disbelief and criticism and not measure them by today's standards. They were the best that could be produced at the time with limitations on budgets, technologies and social ideology.

Robert Easton who played Danny, is a distant cousin of mine!
I’m a neanderthal and I don’t behave badly at all. In fact my cranial index is larger than most modern humans.
Never in my life have I seen a game warden wear a suit and tie in the field.
Like the shooting coat Ross Harkness had on near the end of this flick, real sharp!
Why this never won an Oscar I'l never know.
Love that final scene
Stupidity is contagious and it has no difficulty infecting another. 27:05. Oh brother truer words have never been spoken.
This was directed by E. A. Dupont, the great man who made "Variety" a '20s super-success. How have the mighty fallen!
The first time he gets top billing in a movie and they spell Robert Shayne's name wrong!!
Freeze it at 7:11! 😂
The autos! 👍
The Professor played bosses, execs, etc. in the 1960s and 1970s, but I can't quite place him...🤔
Inspector Henderson on Superman !
@paulpetock2836 Thank you!

True

Really bad. Sure hit the spot.
