Anecdotes
A 27-word "caveman language" was created for this film, supposedly drawing on Phoenician, Latin and Sanskrit sources. Some of the key words in this language are "Neecha", meaning "Stop" or "Come back"; "zak", meaning "gone" or "left"; "Akita", meaning "Look" or "See"; "neecro", meaning "bad" or "evil"; "m'kan", meaning "kill" or "killed"; "mata", meaning "dead"; "Yo Kita", meaning "Go".

Gaffes
Dinosaurs had already been extinct for millions of years before human beings in their now-recognizable form first appeared on Earth.

Autres versions
Several nude scenes were made for the film, but were cut from the original U.S. theatrical release of it in order to ensure a "G" rating. They include a scene of Tara (Robin Hawdon) and Sanna (Victoria Vetri) making love in a cave, a scene where they both go skinny-dipping in a lake and a scene of Tara taking off Sanna's clothes on the beach. The aforementioned nude scenes remained in the uncut UK version, however (as Vetri revealed in a 1984 interview). This version has also officially been released in the U.S. at last on Blu-ray on February 28, 2017 and on DVD-R on April 4, 2017 by Warner Archive.

I felt like a kid again!

When I was a kid, my older brother bought a cheap, B/W, very dark copy of this movie on super-8mm to play on his projector, from an ad in «Famous Monsters»... Wow! Did I love this movie!!! I must have watched it at least 50 times!

Since then, I've always wanted to see a complete version (because the reel my brother had bought was only a 15 minutes version of it) of this movie but, with no luck. Until yesterday that is, when I found a used VHS of it, and for a mere $5, I finally saw with my own eyes what my imagination could only supply till now: vibrant colors, longer scenes, "ancient" dialogues, etc...

It was better than I had imagined! I was glued to the TV set like I was 6, all over again...

I read the users comments before writing this one and found it sad that some comments, are missing the point completely! This ain't an historical movie! It's pure escapism fun! The same way "The Valley of Gwangi" is, or any Harryhausen movie was... Watching this movie made me regret having thrown out all my old «Prehistoric Scenes» Aurora model kits!
