Hewitt made some incredibly entertaining grade-Z pictures...why doesn't he have the reputation of an Ed Wood or Herschell Gordon Lewis or Al Adamson?!
In 1979, my friends and I had some awesome dinosaur and gorilla animation models for a re-do of this. I spoke to David Hewitt on the phone. I was young in ignorant about the business, and quoted him a price of $350 per model, which I thought was reasonable. He seemed to want some young guys who would do it free for the pleasure of seeing their work on the screen.
Let me just say if this film has made one contribution it's inspiring a lot of great, funny youtube comments - seriously, this has to be one of the funniest threads I've ever read. Little could the makers have dreamed, in 69 dude, the extended life the film would take on in the computer age. I hope that asthmatic gorilla never dies.
Stirring and thought provoking. The ur-historic pairing of deep seated psychoses realized as terrifying monsters yet transposed against the emptiness of our modern bourgeois existence serves to illuminate the tragic dichotomy of our empty lives. Gorga, you did not die in this film --you live forever to lead us deeply within ourselves to find the truth within.
Es una reverenda porqueria, y da risa de lo increiblemente absurdo y estupido y soso que es, sinceramente no se que sentir, si lastima, o enojo, o si reirme a carcajadas, es la cosa basofia mas basofia de las basofias, 5 estrellas!
Such cutting edge special-effects. This film was clearly made before it's time seeing as it rivals the SFX of more current films. I applaud the creators for giving us such a wonderful masterpiece.
This truly HAS to be seen to be believed...I don't even know where to begin...just see it...for the love of God, just not alone...way too terrifying....
I agree but... being imbecile with such budgets is relatively easy. Consider there is people that can make imbecile films with a hundred million dollar budget... ehm... what about them? :-)
When the Girl screams at 29 secs although she has her hand slightly over her mouth you can tell that it is dubbed over because she doesn't open her mouth!
Holy shit! This is actually a movie or one of those comedy spoofs from Saturday night live or Mad TV..lol. This has to be one of the lowest budget movies ever made,they should have burned this wheel of film.
Starts out as a serious adventure,but then it gets real goofy when the title character shows up and the dinosaur,too..Good for a laugh,but otherwise,STAY AWAY!!
this is really really bad Like I mean the Dinosaur looks like a plastic toy been moved around and Gorga is the worst ape I have ever seen real bad lighting and everything but besides from this I recon it would be funny to watch I would like to see it :) but I dont know where :(
WOW! look at the details of those puppets!
