Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - His time has past...
I absolutely loved this film as a child, and it grew on me. I thumbed through the TV Guide awaiting each week for it to air again. It inspired my imagination. One of my very first pieces of artwork, was a drawing of the Tyrannosaur as it appeared in this movie. Sure adults now may be uninspired by a low budget movie from 1977, but as a kid, to find yourself in a land where dinosaurs still walk the earth, it was fascinating. I loved the characters of Frankie, Chuck and yes, even Maston. I had always ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Definitely midnight movie material
He's big, mean, vicious, and ugly - no, not the dinosaur; I'm talking about Richard Boone's character in this cheesy yet weirdly interesting little film from 1977 (I say film, even though it ended up premiering on television rather than making the rounds of cinemas). I can't help but wonder if her role in The Last Dinosaur actually helped secure Joan Van Ark the part of Valene Ewing. Maybe some big wigs at Lorimar were lounging around one night, happened to catch some of this film, and jumped up exclaiming ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Brings back memories
I remember when this aired on TV (I was 10 or so). For the last 25 years I thought I was the only one who knew of this movie.

I taped it 10 years ago and of course it's not the same feeling - but what is?

BTW, I cannot believe 3 people here wrote that Wilt Chamberlin was in this movie??? - he was not. The guy's name is Luther Rackley. Check IMDB for more reference.

There were other tall black guys in the world you know.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Horrible effects, horrible acting... I loved it!
Contrary to what some here have said, the special effects in this movie were NOT "good for the time". This was made in 1977, the same year "Star Wars" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" came out! Harryhausen's dinosaur movies were all made before this piece of terd, and they had great effects. Even the puppet-based dinosaur effects of "The Land That Time Forgot" were better than what's on display here. The technology was available, but the makers of this film chose not to use it. That being said, this ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - The best drinking game since the "Who" Grinch game
First question. How do you bore a hole in the earth and find yourself in a place that has a sky and atmosphere?
If this type of idiotic question intrigues you, you are well on your way to the drinking game of all drinking games.

This movie stars a fossilized Charles Bronson look-alike, (Richard Boone) that spurned us to create several rules that may lend a hand to your drinking pleasure.

For instance, drink every time......

1. you hear the cheesy 70's music go..."da da ... Read More
