[solovision]

It sure is! Before he rid the world of Thrushies, he did the same with rubber lizards ;-)

[mohawkman2006]

it actually takes place in the future

Didn't they have sock hops and rumbles back then?

@chettmansberger

cheers, carrie!

i didn't know robert duval was embarrassed about having played boo radley- he needn't have been, i thought he was great!

and i agree, this film stands among the immortals- long live the Teenage Caveman from Uncle (the last survivor of "the magnificent seven")!

@norristerse

Dear Norris, you're certainly correct, and I definitely got my dates wrong. It's highly unlikely that W.H. would have been in this film. But it certainly was fun thinking that it could have been him (rather on a par with Robert Duval, who played Boo Radley in "To Kill a Mockingbird". He went on to such great acting acheivements, that he winced when anyone mentioned that role)!

Thanks for your response and may we all enjoy the "so awful they're funny" classics. Carrie :>

@chettmansberger

i very much doubt william holden would have gone straight from "bridge on the river kwai" to this, unless his agent had suddenly gone completely hatstand!

(see what you mean, though, the bloke does look a bit like him)

[HonJao]

Anyone else notice that the "teenage caveman" looks to be in his twenties maybe thirties

[finetubs]

b4 women knew shame?I wanna hear more about that!!!

[chettmansberger]

Didn't anyone recognize William Holden??

[dawson850]

A pretty good drive in movie of the day...dialogue good in places...good twist at the end.

@dukes0916 Yeah, that's definitely the same costume. I've seen both films. The MST edition is one of my favorites

"He's inventing swimming!" "Looks like he's inventing drowning"

"Bob, Bob, Bob of the Jungle, friend to you and me! Bob, Bob, Bob of the Jungle-*Vaughn runs into a tree, knocking himself out*-Watch out for that tree"
