give it an oscar well someday it may get one


Some one gave this movie a revue that constituted 3 letters UGH .....as I write these lines I am cracking up this movie is so bad its great. Roger Corman has to be the Shake-spear of horror from the 1950s I collect his movies and I have this one and let me tell you some historical facts here.

1 did the cave man use greasy kid stuff [ recall that from the early 60s]?
2 id they face social issues like they did in the 60s teen age rebellion yet alone teenage waste land?
3 the sinking earth or just some wicked mind expanding drug?
4 the black bearded one was he the beginning of what would become his decendant CHIEF WILD EAGLE of F Troop fame?
5 what breed of cave man was this that was clean shaven and used greasy kid stuff?
6 A wild pack of dogs of all different breeds that look like they were from a dog show?

This picture should win an oscar its to much and one of my favorites.

What does Robert Vaughn know? If it was such a bad picture why did he do it? He never had it so good Teen AGe Caveman.

Oh yes since when did cave men play pan flutes.

The ending was very good and I didn't fall asleep. Never have watching one of these 50s Corman flicks.

"If it was such a bad picture why did he do it?"

He was mainly doing guest appearances on TV shows back then, and probably wasn't making much money doing that. This gave him the chance to jump to the big screen, raise his profile -- if only a little... If nothing else, it was a paycheck. Lots of people do lots of things in Hollywood for the paycheck. Not everything can be a masterpiece.

Thank goodness for these movies. Most are watchable and unintentionally funny to some extent.

Right. And now Roger Corman has been given an honorary Oscar. Who would have guessed that in '58?
