Action star Tony Markham (Jeff Rector) is sick of Hollywood and not getting much sleep, thanks to the same dream every night, one where he meets dinosaurs and sees a cavegirl named Hea-Thor (Denise Ames) that he believes he’s destined to be with.

If you look at the cover of this, you may think you’re getting a sex comedy with dinosaurs. Then you see that it was directed, written and produced by Donald Glut and realize that this is something special. This is the kind of movie that mixes well-done stop-motion dinosaurs with bare breasts and lots of them, sure. But it also has Karen Black make a cameo, as well as Forrest J. Ackerman, William Marshall as a paleontologist and Donna Spangler. And Ed Fury from peplum like Ursus as Ur-So? My cup — and many of the cup sizes in this — runneth over.

Actually, this is both Marshall and Fury’s last film.

Man, Donald Glut. His website just makes me smile, as it’s all somewhat attractive women holding up his books for the bibliography. It feels like he got to puberty and decided that he’d never stop loving seeing women topless or dinosaurs attacking cavemen. And who are we to tell him that he’s wrong? I mean, male gaze and all that, but clearly he loves women as much as a good fart joke. I also think he added the IMDB facts, like this one: “Unlike past Hollywood stereotypes, he didn’t want any of the cavewomen in the film to scream when they see dinosaurs. He wanted the actresses to be sexy and feminine at all times, so they never lose what guys perceive as femininity, but still be tough and handle their own. He felt that would enhance their overall appeal. He said, “I made a conscious effort that they would not, as in many other prehistoric-type movies over the years, come off looking like strippers or hookers.””

A lot of times, you may wonder, “Is this an exploitation movie?” when you watch something. For this, they shot a clothed and unclothed version. There’s your answer. This is an exploitation movie. And one way after anyone couldn’t see half-naked cavewomen, so it was obviously a labor of love. In short, I’m proud to have it in my collection, but maybe my wife would shake her head at me if she knew it was there.
