    • Trivia
      Robert Vaughn said in an interview that he considered this to be the worst film ever made.
    • Goofs
      Near the beginning of the film, the Symbol Maker (Leslie Bradley) asks his woman, "Where's the boy? Beyond the river?" The left sleeve strap of the Symbol Maker's fur outfit is sewn together. In the next scene, the strap comes undone and he is holding the strap under his left arm. In the next scene, the strap is now tied together with a leather shoelace. Later in the film, this strap is shown tied together in two different places. Apparently there were problems keeping this sleeve strap together throughout the entire film, because it changes constantly.

    Prehistoric Nonsense Corman Style

    It was made in two WEEKS, not two days as someone else's review stated. Please get the facts straight. Read Robert Vaughn's autobiography, he has some choice information about the background of the making of this movie.

    Robert Vaughn recalled the filming of it. It took place entirely in Griffith Park in California and the animals involved refused to cooperate. Also, he was sent to the hospital twice. once when an animal bit him, and once when he fell off a log and stepped on broken glass. The glamor of show biz, it is intoxicating.

    It was eventually released on a double-bill with the Michael Landon classic.....wait for it....."I Was a Teenage Werewolf."

    Oh, Roger Corman, you've done it again!
