Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Dreadful muscle-man epic featuring some prehistoric monsters which look as though they were created by Harryhausen's third junior assistant stand-in. The human battle scenes are atrociously choreographed (you can almost imagine The Anvil Chorus over the penultimate one), and Malatesta shows no signs of being able to direct his way out of a paper bag, let alone Reg Lewis act his way out of one. The dubbing is above-par stupid.Author: PM
