Quiz
When this film was first conceived it was supposed to have been a follow-up to King Kong (1933), but was never made, but an early B&W version of the "cowboys in Africa" footage was shot, and wound up being used in Il re dell'Africa (1949).

Blooper
Gwangi's apparent color, as well as the color of the other creatures, changes several times over the course of the movie because there was so much animation to do that Harryhausen did not have enough time to do proper color testing. Gwangi ranges from gray to violet to purple from one scene to the next.

Citazioni
Lope: What kind of bird is it, professor?
Professor Bromley: Oh, no bird...a giant pterydactyl...a flying reptile. It's been extinct for over 50 million years.
T.J.: Then what is it doing here?
Professor Bromley: Precisely...what is it doing here?

Curiosità sui crediti
In the closing credits cast list, Order #10 is GWANGI

Versioni alternative
Many local TV stations delete the scene in which Gwangi, the allosaur, kills a circus elephant, claiming the scene depicts cruelty to animals.

5/10

Cowboys lasso carnivorous creatures from the past.

Special effects master Ray Harryhausen is at the top of his game. What sounds corny turns out to be a very interesting cult classic. Jim O'Connolly directs this western meets science fiction thriller about cowboys discovering a lost valley of prehistoric monsters/creatures. These historical finds are then suppose to be the show saving performers in a traveling circus.

This turns out to be one the best dino movies you will ever see. The stop-motion animation is blended so well, it should take top billing. So many other movies are so fake in appearance...this project sticks out like a masterpiece.

The cast includes James Franciscus, Richard Carlson, Laurence Naismith and the alluring Miss Gila Golan.
