   The spiritual successor of One Million B.C., When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, proves that while gentlemen may prefer blondes, early man rather preferred to throw them off cliffs to appease the sun god. Like Hammer Films' first foray into prehistoric fantasy, this one has dinosaurs side-by-side with cave men, but When Dinos Ruled is far less engaging. They've traded down on almost every aspect except effects, which are at least as good as Harryhausen's. The heroine, played by Playboy playmate Victoria Vetri, doesn't have the same presence Raquel Welch did. There are too many studio-bound scenes. The costuming is sillier. There's more dialog, which makes the performers shout out the same few nonsense words ("AKEETA!") in pretty variable accents considering they're the same tribe. And the action climax is unconvincing. It's too bad because they could have used the sun-moon/man-woman symbolism to pull off a story about a change in gender authority. Instead, the focus is on scantily-clad women falling out of their bikini skins. 5 years 6 months ago

   Prehistoric adventure from Hammer's "Cave Girl" series. Nonsense plot, but the effects are fun. 5/10.
