What say you fuzzy britches?

For their 100th release, Hammer Films remade the 1940 cavemen groaner One Million B.C. It would prove to be a roaring box office success, whilst simultaneously making Raquel Welch an iconic poster girl and Ray Harryhausen an even bigger hero.

Plot is slight. Two tribes exist in prehistoric times, the Rock People and the Shell People. The former are more aggressive and basic, the latter more forward and assured. Tumak (John Richardson) of the Rocks and Loana (Welch) wind up together, fighting prejudices and lots of giant beasties! Hooray!

That’s really it, the message is clear but ultimately we are here for the dinosaurs and giant creatures (well OK, the scantily clad cave dwellers as well), with Harryhausen once again showing why he was a legend in his field of animation. With good fights, a bit of sexy sizzle and a volcanic finale, it’s all good really.

It’s no history lesson of course, but as Harryhausen was wont to say, they wasn’t making a film for history professors! 7/10

After a bit of a contretemps, “Tumak” (John Richardson) is kicked out of his prehistoric tribe and left to fend for himself. Fortunately, after a few near misses with some larger-than-life creatures, he encounters “Loana” (Raquel Welch) who lives with her people by the seaside. Not everyone likes him though – not least “Payto” (William Lyon Brown) who has eyes on the prize for himself. The plot, the acting, the dialogue – well, who cares? That’s all drivel from start to finish. What rescues it entirely from the cutting room floor (where much of this belongs) are the visual effects from the master Ray Harryhausen. Stop motion at it’s best – dinosaurs and pterodactyls that, even if they are made of polystyrene and/or papier-mâché easily out-perform the entire human cast. Raquel Welch is just an ichthyolite out of water and the usually more respectable Robert Brown looks faintly ridiculous in his best furs as “Akhoba”. The ending comes not a moment too soon, but sadly doesn’t really features the stars of this film – the dinosaurs!

Cavewomen were stunning apparently.
One thing that newcomers to Hammer need to appreciate is that many of their films are low-budget, and kitsch, and One Million Years B.C scores high on the cheese-factor even by Hammer’s yardstick. The film’s tagline is laughably off-target – “This is the way it was!” – I am almost positive cavewomen didn’t have immaculately coiffured hair, push-up loincloth bras, eyeliner, and waxed legs, while their primitive menfolk did battle with dinosaurs that scientifically speaking died out many millions of years earlier. Needless to say, a willing suspension of disbelief is a prerequisite to enjoyment of this movie.

Inappropriate marketing aside, if you can get past these hurdles, B.C is an entertaining, if mindless, action movie, and one which is elevated to ongoing cult status thanks to 2 main factors – Raquel Welch and Ray Harryhausen.

Even if you have never heard of this film, chances are at some point you have been exposed to “that picture”. Raquel Welch is THE reason this film’s cult following is 95% male, and seeing her in her loincloth bikini is quite honestly a sight to behold. Fleeing from giant dinosaurs, and fighting with cavewomen, this role in a low-budget British monster movie is the one that put her on the map and created one of the greatest sex symbols ever to light up the silver screen.

Only just losing out to Raquel Welch as the star of the show, are the creatures themselves. Animated by the inimitable, legendary Ray Harryhausen (as far as I know the only special effects guru to become a household name in his own right) the creatures are brilliantly realised, and integrated seamlessly with the live-action elements. Aside from Jason and the Argonauts, and Clash of the Titans, this is some of his best work – the Allosaur attack on the shell-people’s village being a real technical accomplishment and highlight of the film. The results are slightly marred though by the the integration of real animals, shot and superimposed to look massive. An early attack from a giant, half-asleep looking iguana is hardly menacing, nor is a (thankfully very brief) appearance by a gigantic tarantula that is trying to eat an equally gigantic cricket. These negative moments are forgotten though when Harryhausen’s flawless stop-motion takes center stage, bringing us the iconic triceratops fight amongst other great set-pieces.

Thanks to the jaw-dropping “talents” of Raquel Welch, the rest of the cast are pretty expendable. Even main star John Richardson’s character of Tumak could have been played by a monkey in a spacesuit when Welch was on screen, no-one would have noticed. Everyone plays as well as they need to though, given the grunt-riddled, running-away-from-an-imaginary-monster screenplay. The storyline is simplistic, (primitive man learns tolerance and civility) and is basically a thinly veiled cover for a series of awesome action set-pieces and monster vs human battle sequences, and a vehicle for the scantily clad Raquel Welch to run around getting sweaty and dirty, which can only be considered a bonus.

In summary, leave your brain at the door and you are likely to have a great time. This is a cult classic; a camp, entertaining showcase for Harryhausen’s skills, and while shallow, has enough action and sex-appeal to please the average testosterone-laden viewer. Worth watching for Raquel Welch’s magnetic presence alone.

Common cause to survive
Raquel Welch literally bursts on the screen, mammaria bulging through her cave girl outfit in this remake of One Million Years BC. This is the film that made her a sex symbol for the Sixties right into the Seventies.

This remake of the 1939 classic where Victor Mature and Carole Landis became stars boasts Technicolor and some nice Ray Harryhausen special effects dinosaurs. Of course the fact that dinosaurs were not contemporary with cave men on the evolutionary journey is as irrelevant here as it was in 1939.

The plot such as it were follows pretty much along the lines of the 1939 story. Cave man John Richardson from one tribe meets cave girl Raquel Welch from a slightly more advanced tribe and in this prehistoric Romeo and Juliet story, the Montague and Capulet tribes do find some common cause to survive. If they didn’t I’m sure we wouldn’t be here.

Ray Harryhausen monsters and Raquel’s bulging mammaria, what’s more to want in a film?
