Who do you prefer Tala (Shelley Long) or Lana (Barbara Bach)?

I would have to say Tala.

Tala - Typical girl next door who's love interest is the one she migh possibly not get.

Lana - Typical high school popular bimbo who doesn't care who really likes her so long as the one she gets together with is the victorious one.

Kind of Betty and Veronica don't you think with Ringo Star's having vagu similarities to Archie. I prefer Tala too.

Don't mind Ms Bach but Tala (Shelley Long) is cute/sweet and I prefer that.

Lana 9

Hmm, I asked the same question just a little while ago when Tala (Shelley) first showed up in the movie. Barbara is kind of an exotic beauty; Shelley pretty but not in the same way. Barb stacked like the proverbial brick outbuilding; Shelley small and petite.
Ah, I like 'em small, petite and cute. I'll pick Tala.

I gotta go with Lana,she is way sexier than Tala.I'll take the proverbial brick outbuilding.

This is hard to pick from. I mean I do like the innocence that Tala had but I do like what the Lana has to offer as well. So I would have to say possibly Lana.

You do know that Lana (Barbara Bach) IS Mrs. Ringo Starr don't you? Didn't know if any of you here were aware of that little fact since none of you have mentioned it.

[–] RobBase086-1 16 years ago

Yes I knew about it that she was Mrs. Ringo Starr. Thanks for letting everyone else know about it!

Tala will eventually become a naggy pain in the ass. You can always find another Lana.

I'd be looking for a cavechick who pitches in; hunts, fishes, fights the enemy. I'd want somebody who cares about more than herself, who helps others. Aside from those qualities, Tala has a wholesome, leggy sort of beauty. Lana has in-your-face mammaries, a strange face, and bad legs. She's used to being served, kowtowed to; not THIS caveman's kind of babe. I'll take the nice, pretty blonde cavegirl.

[–] Woodyanders 15 years ago

I would pick Tala because she's very cute on the outside and sweet on the inside. Lana was undeniably gorgeous, but had a totally stuck-up and self-absorbed personality.

To me, the hottest girl in the movie was Grot's wife/mate. Credits list her as Ana de Sade. You can kinda see her gorgeous face at 1:37. She is the one standing next to Grot and holding the little girl.

I also think she was the second to the last one that Tonda was looking over for a new mate, right before Tala.

[–] Computer-Guy 14 years ago

Lana = Ginger

Tala = Mary Ann

I pick Tala (and Mary Ann)
