Trivia:
Filmed in Bronson Canyon, a cave complex in the hills above Hollywood where Robot Monster (1953) was filmed. Eegah's cavern is Ro-Man's headquarters seen from a different angle. more

Factual errors: At the end, Robert Miller (played by Arch Hall Sr.) quotes the Book of Genesis, Chapter 4, Verse 32: "There were giants in the Earth, in those days." That verse doesn't exist; in fact, there is no verse 32 (the quote is from Genesis 6:4, not 4:32). more

In the right frame of mind, this is - what?!, 14 October 2007
1/10
Author: (winner55) from United States

Despite its legendary status as a bad film, I decided to watch this film with an open mind, projecting myself into a typical drive-in audience viewer of the early 196OS, albeit without the prom-date in the back-seat....

If you approach the film this way, what you find is that you actually get brain-numbed into this almost childlike attitude where everything bad is beautiful. By the end of the film I found myself feeling sympathy for Kiel's caveman, who only wanted a little lovin', after all, and he would have made a great hippie....

However, when I finally got my brain back, I could only think of those ridiculous overtures to youth culture - those horrible songs! That hair-doo! That revolting party at the end! And the hotrod that supposedly, just in and of itself, is to provide us with thrills and fun! Whoa! The only weird stuff in this film are the implicit rape of the daughter watched by the father - who doesn't seem to know how to react, and ultimately decides not to bother. And the fact that the girl falls in love with Eegah at the end - he must have been wow in bed, huh? Otherwise, you will be ashamed that you laughed so hard at such a piece of ... I still don't know what.
