Yes, that's a former Beatle in caveman costume for this more-dumb-than-funny 1981 comedy about a prehistoric misfit (Ringo Starr) who recruits other misfits to start a new tribe. The jokes about flatulence and sex are banal, but the cast of then-unfamiliar faces is fun to watch from the perspective of history. The best thing going are some dinosaur special effects, though Ringo might argue meeting his future wife (Barbara Bach) was a good deal. --Tom Keogh

 Caveman (Region 2) June 24, 2010

You sold me a DVD that I can't watch. It didn't say on the add that Region 2 wouldn't work in the USA. I think you should send me one that I can watch, being I already paid for it. I threw the one you sent in the trash where it belongs. I hope other customers do get to read this so they know what kind of people they are buying from, you should be arrested. I will never buy anything from AMAZON again, and I have told everyone in my mailbox to spread the word. I hope you go out of business, if I can do anything to hurt your company or business I WILL........
 This is a treat if I ever saw one June 21, 2010

For all my reviews visit my website [...]
I am NOT reviewing the DVD. Just the movies unless otherwise stated.
Please note that the rating above might not accurately reflect my thoughts, you will see a rating sentence at the end of the review.
Now, lemme just say that, there are a few of groups in the patience genre for movie goers. There's the modern spoiled 3 year old brat who has no idea what movies are like and only watches the fastest movies released today. There's the un-patient movie goer who does respect old films but prefers to watch new films. There's the patient movie goer who understands the quality in slow old movies. And then, there's the super patient that is almost unspeakable and unbelievable that AVGN doesn't even know exists. If you are one of the first three, you may want to consider what you are watching. This is probably the slowest movie I have ever watched in my entire life.
Besides Money Pit of course.
However, this is actually a great movie. The only reason it feels slow is because of the fact there is barely any modern day dialogue in the film. Only Caveman talk. And yes, this does take away some of the Comedy. But let me finish, if you can handle a slow movie and liked movies like Young Frankenstein or Airplane then this is a movie to see.
The real treat for me was the Harryhausen type effects, though harry was not actually a part of the film. I refer to Stop-Motion. But, that's not all. What is stop-motion is ridiculous. The T-Rex is real big, the Wolf/Dino/Owl/Chicken has the biggest google-y eyes I've ever seen. Awesome.
The storyline doesn't need to be that apparent, it holds the movie together but is still vague. This is obviously because of no English speaking peoples. But, it all comes together in the end and you leave feeling satisfied. The obvious green-screen in this film is classic.
The humor is very crude, so I wouldn't recommend this for the kiddies. It ain't Flintstones, no matter how much it inspired thus and Captain Caveman. I mean, there is actual Crap in the film. I also wouldn't recommend for younger audiences due to the Marijuana scene. Those are real plants with fake flowers.
Again, the humor is similar to Airplane. A "Nearby Ice Age" refers to distance instead of time. There's old fashion fishing, the discovery of fire, invention of cooking, etc. It's all done in that kind of style. I can tell you what I have just told you, but other than that you have to see it to believe it.
The Rating? 3/5
Just plain lousy June 19, 2010

Ringo Starr plays a caveman called Atouk. His then future wife Barbara Bach plays his love interest, Lana. Shelley Long, pre-Cheers plays Lana's rival. They all speak in a fake language that consists of grunts and 12-15 words and a few English words, such as one swear. The most famous line was "Atouk aloonda (sp) Lana," which is loosely translated as "Atouk loves Lana." Many people did not aloona this lousy movie. If it wasn't for a Beatle, nobody would praise this film.
The only reason people bothered with this movie is because Beatle Ringo was in it. The movie opens with the date October 9, 1 million B.C. October 9 was John Lennon's birthday. Not to offend Beatle fans, but this movie was on the same plane with the emperor's new clothes and nothing in the world could make it a good movie. The other one-STARR reviews say it well and one reviewer called it "stinkarooey," which it is. Even the Beatle connection could not make this a good or funny movie.

One of the Worst Movies Ever April 21, 2010

I don't get how this movie gets an average rating of 4.5 stars. I thought it was one of the worst movies ever made. The only redeeming things are the monster reptiles.
