- This is the way it wasn't! A longtime favorite with Creationists, this loose remake of the 1940 cavemen-vs.dinosaurs epic made a star of unknown Raquel Welch despite the fact she has almost no dialog. Its success, which led to several further prehistoric adventures from Hammer, was eclipsed by the phenomenal reaction to a single iconic publicity still of the star in her fur bikini, which became a wildly popular poster and cultural touchstone. Ray Harryhausen, who supplied the mostly stop-motion monsters, made only four more films before retiring. The US release was cut by 9 minutes, since restored.

Even though this movie seems to have been made One Million Years B.C.G.I., I still love it. Why? Hammer, Harryhausen, Raquel Welch, and a beautiful musical score by Mario Nascimbene!
One of my fav dinosaur movies!
I'd say When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth(1969) is the finest of the genre.
Such an emotive score and visual. So rich in subtext, you don't need dialogue.
+Basilzaharoff1 It's my preferred of the two as well. : )
I was quite a young lad when I saw this in the theater, all I remember about it is learning to appreciate the shape of a woman's lower back. Thanks Raquel!
I saw Ray Harryhausen's Raquel Welch model, and lots of other models and drawings from his movies, in a Harryhausen exhibition in London. Great stuff!
Part of the appeal of these reviews is just to see who Landis will claim to be!
If David Mamet rewrote the dialogue, it would win the Oscar for Best Film.
I always thought this flick was pretty cool! Something one needs to understand about it and consider when watching it - it ain't supposed to be a classroom history lesson! . .. it's an escapist sci-fi fantasy/adventure, . . with a serious element of dramatic allegory ( with the thing about the different human factions and how they compare and interact ). You gotta pretty much take flicks like this one as sort of cinematic comic books. If you want a prehistoric-themed movie that's more realistic and historically accurate then try Quest For Fire or Clan Of The Cave Bear instead.
Ian Findly FINALLY! Someone who understands if every movie followed every scientific facts ever made than it would be boring! I mean I like realistic films but once in a while you just need to say “fuck it” and judge the movie by how compelling the characters are, how intriguing the story is, and how good the effects are. Not how accurate is to actual 1 million bc.
The animals used in 2001 were actually tapirs, not warthogs. Tapirs have a more exotic, primal look with their odd, flexible snouts. :)
One of the late great Ray Harryhausen's pictures he created. I rank this with Mighty Joe Young and The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms.
2:27 ...Even as a young boy watching this in the movie theater, I questioned a dino walking in front of a "snow capped" mountain. Still one of my fave Sci-Fi films of all times.
Good news, Landis! The Brontosaurus is BACK!
Love this movie saw it on amc when I was 17 in 2001👻
Nobody watched this for the dialogues
except for myself
I loved this classic make reboot.. new people speech... Better special effects and you got a winner and excellent director!! Chow!!!
Oh,were there dinosaurs and volcano's in this movie,all I seen was one Raquel Welch.
I finally realized where Kubrick got that shot where the rocks are falling upon the people in Alex's imagination in A Clockwork Orange.
Have always loved Dinosaur/Prehistoric films since I first saw this and When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth when I was 10 have both films on DVD
John your an awesome guy and have met you a few times. People stop the hating. Great review...
Hell's finest, brilliant film
Harold Pinter was a script doctor on this? Did he write the moments of silence?
Tacky, but voted up.
Magnífica película de acción y aventuras de Raquel welch
The poster they had put up in my neighborhood movie theater clearly showed Raquel's pubic hair at her bikini line. The people who created that poster must have had it "touched up" because in the movie itself at no time do we see that. Did anyone else see that "touched up poster"????
I didn't realize that cavewomen had false eyelashes!
For a more realistic Stone Age movie, try QUEST FOR FIRE.
He looked down right excited
Raquel Welch and Martine Beswick in "fur bikinis" in 1966? Who cares about the acting or special effects!
We all know why John is really SMILING
this films attract my family attention
1,000,000 BC didn't introduce Welch - she had already done Fantastic Voyage.
And it wasn't only the bikini that got shrunk. Lol
Obviously there's a lot of talk about Ray Harryhausen right now. One thing that always stays with me is how he said he made sure the crab they used in MYSTERIOUS ISLAND was killed in a very humane way and the inside of it became someone's dinner! It was pretty decent of him to make sure of that.
Yes, like in the original One Million B.C. and The Lost World where young crocs fought iguanas (or something like that) and actually seriously injured the latter.
Who was yanking it to Ms. Welch back in the day? 😆
Her husband Bob Welch.
2001 doesn't have warthogs, John. It has tapirs
giant iguana kicks ass
@2:36 A moment I was glad not to be drinking anything.
How about a remake of a Classic Hammer Film Called One Million Years BC but it will have modern day actors Alice Eve Hayden Christensen Samuel L. Jackson Zoe Saldana Sofia Boutella Jason David frank Jaleel White & Robert de Niro now this movie will be Directed by Chuck Russell Writer by George miller and David Hayter Visual Effect by Dennis Muren & Greg Broadmore Dinosaur Supervisor by Phil Tippett Creature Effects by Greg Nicotero Make Up Artist by Rick baker Costume Design by Deborah Nadoolman Screenplay by Stuart Gordon Producer by James Cameron & Steven Spielberg but this Time the One Million Years BC remake will be from Universal pictures Amblin entertainment and Scott free productions & Lighting storm production and this time it will be rated R for mature audiences but this time it will came out in Fall Of 2008 open against Nicole Kidman’s Movie called Australia (in that same year)
And now brontosaurus is back XD.
Tumak and Akita? It's Luana! Bad fan-boy, Mr Landis :) Akita means Help, Danger, Look, Attention. The same dialogue was used in the sequel When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth and, yes, the original 1940 version used some of it, too. Search for my Guide to Cavespeak on youtube.
It's always funny to say that. People really believe I'm serious...
Hi, Im Wills O'Brien aha
I'm just glad that real lizard doesn't do anything but move around, instead of fighting another poor reptile, like in so many other movies where they stand in for dinosaurs.
The film was ok,but the one thing I never got was all the dinosaurs.Weren't they supposed to have died out 65 million years ago?
Once again John, I love you but... this movie is not stupid. Why bother if you think it is stupid?
there aint a lot of talking in this movie..lol
If you like films, check out our channel, as not only do we have an in-car movie review show, but we also make films of our own!
Hilarity ensues...
This movie was made B.C.G.I.
They are called Brontosaurus again because Apatosaurus is such a stupid name.
Ma che stronzata di film! Translation: What a crappy movie!
WHAT, no CGI?! Shitty movie.
They was so bad yhey didn't even have CGI at this time? Booooooooooring ;)
