I finally unearthed the NME UK review 07/1981 for the record:
“PRAY that Caveman is a one-off and not the herald or a whole new genre – troglodyte slapstick. Directed by Carl Gottlieb (who scripted Jaws and The Jark), it’s basically a comedy version of One Million Years BC. But two or three gags stretched over 97 minutes don’t run to a lot or laughs. There’s little dialogue apart from grunts. groans and The First Ten Words Ever Spoken, so the humour depends a lot on the clowning and miming abilities of the cast; it’s not immediately apparent that they have any. The talk (?} is nothing as urbane as the old cartoon Flintstones, relying rather on ‘ca-ca’ and other things that six-year olds soon tire of discussing in the school bogs. These moronic trogs -including a pygmy cross between Gene Wider and Bob Dylan – are big farters and belchers. too. Ha ha ha …
The special effects aren’t exactly a barrel of fun either You soon get used to a dinosaur baying at the moon and crowing at the dawn. Still, the way one of its eggs is turned into a massive tribal fry·up is vaguely amusing. and the other joke’s when a giant fly is swatted on a hapless cave person’s nose. The plot concerns an ongoing primordial lust conflict situation. Shy, retiring cave(rn) dweller Ringo Starr is expelled from the tribe for fancying the boss trog’s woman, a sort of low-rent BC Raquel Welch played by Barbara Bach. Although Ringo finally gets his prize by impressing her with his accidental inventions.., fire and roast chicken, he decides she’s a fickle groupie and drops her, literally. in the shit; he prefers virtuous prehistoric home-maker Shelley Long. Though Caveman performs no useful entertainment function in real life it’s performed some kind of social one; Ringo and Barbara’s love proved to be more than temporary off set and now, of course, they’re married …”
So they lived happily ever after, and are still together! That’s what makes the film great. The Welch character would be dumped as Barbara Bach in the film. Believe it or not…
this movie is a classic one of my old-time favorites Atook Zag Zag
…meanwhile, story starts “October 9th, a zillion years BC”, RL uploads it the 10th, sort of zillionth anniversary tribute, also note this was released same year (1981) with Terry Gilliam’s Time Bandits financed/scored by George Harrison, super nice pairing by RL!!
language “english”, prehistoric english that is!
subs not available (yet).
Great campy fun! Ringo Starr as a caveman with a British accent! John “The Tooz” Matuszak acting! Was great when it first came out; has upped the camp factor even more now.
Bizarre! Thanks RL!
I’m not a fan of The Beatles and I’m even less of one after seeing Ringo Starr in a lead role. The saving grace here is Barbara Bach shaking her ass as a Raquel Welch-inspired cavegirl. Hard to believe that the man who wrote the Jaws screenplay was responsible for this disaster.
