talisencrw Yes, this was a bad movie (I watched it in a double bill with the similar-toned prehistoric tongue-in-cheek 'Prehistoric Women'--both from Mill Creek's 50-pack 'Nightmare Worlds'), but it was charming, short and sweet, and I enjoyed it. I wouldn't watch it again, probably, but it was decent fare to see once. I thought the way the credits were animated was cool (a low-budget Saul Bass), and I wouldn't have minded being trapped by the Wongo tribe, if I time-travelled back to that time, myself! At first, I thought they had misspelled Adrienne Barbeau's name, but no one looked like her in the film, and she would have been really young anyway.It intrigued me that Tennessee Williams actually directed at least parts of the film. Though this film falls into the 'so-bad-it's good-territory, I'm glad it was made. Not everything has to be either a $300-million monster or Hamlet.

thundsdo-1 Really, there are better quality videos on YouTube than this. Many, many better.Is it campy? Perhaps, but the kind of campy where you are hauled out in the woods and molested by the counselors. A lot like Santa Claus vs. the Martians, it is frankly, from beginning to end, the film production most devoid of talent I have ever seen.The acting lacks the depth, quality and execution of a high school play- -and not the kind of play that kids try out for, the kind where members of the football team are trying to squeeze easy credit out of a blow off course.The screenplay, had the movie come out years later, exhibits the rare insight and niche draw of bad pornography. It's all wrapped up in an aphorism yanked from the screen of Jersey Shore.The direction is laughable, the special effects are merely sad and fight scenes are goofy.The only thing that makes the above look good, however, is the choreography, which warrants it's own mention as one of the most unwatchable moments in cinema. You'll laugh so hard because it is the only way of preventing your stomach contents from spraying around the room.Wongo is, frankly, completely devoid of artistic merit. However, to say something nice, I will give credit to whomever scouted locations. Still, that person, along with everyone else involved, should be embarrassed to the point of forming a commune in rural Utah to avoid public notice that they had one day committed such hateful offense to Mr. Edison's invention.However, you should see it for the same reasons you should get a colonoscopy after the age of 50.

MartianOctocretr5 Outrageous camp factor, and every bit as weird and mindless as you've heard. "Oh, Priestess, we request permission to find mates!" The narrator explains: "Nature made a mistake." Two independent tribes that mistrust but leave each other alone finally interact, as an alliance to fight some other weird tribe is proposed, then rejected. A parrot is perched somewhere, and periodically shows up to mock the characters, as if we the audience aren't doing that already.Basically, some prehistoric guys and gals from each tribe run around the forest and occasionally meet each other. There's one girl (from the "pretty woman" tribe) who beats the snot out of a baby crocodile, and the monster people show up briefly. Her tribe has women with 50's hair styles, shaved legs, lipstick, and other make-up. The other tribe has women with buck teeth and attitudes that scare their sheepish men.Beware of the soundtrack. They actually use some of the same music as the infamous "Plan 9 from Outer Space," and this movie makes that one look good by comparison. The acting is oafery, the director must have been out in the sun too long, and the story line is uhh, was there one? There's only one way to watch this: MST3K style. Get your buddies together and mock the thing, when it isn't bashing itself that is.

samhill5215 This is a movie conceived and produced by juveniles for juveniles but is it ever funny. The kind of funny that kept me wondering whether everything about it, and I mean EVERYTHING, wasn't meant to be that cheesy. There's really no point in commenting on the dialogue (moronic) or acting (what acting?). I guess the scenery was OK if not for the fact we kept seeing the same scenes ad nauseam. I should say something about the characters though. The premise of the film is that there's two tribes, one of pretty women and beastly men and another of handsome men and ugly women. I guess the women were pretty enough and they were quite shapely. As for the men they all hailed from muscle beach. This was a beefcake fest with the beastly men differentiated from the handsome men primarily by the fact they were hairy. The handsome guys were shaved clean and oiled to boot. These fellas were ready for the Mr. Universe contest. So the bottom line is: could you spend an hour and 11 minutes doing something better? Absolutely, positively without a doubt. But if you do chose to see it you'll find yourself chuckling uncontrollably and that's not such a bad thing, is it?
