A very cheap, very stupid King Kong ripoff... Good MST3K material. One hilarious scene occurs when the boy and his dog are reunited and run to each other in slow motion, the boy with his arms happily outstretched. The yeti himself, is, as I said above, just a guy with big hair and a beard, sort of like an ancient hippie.
Demian Katz, katz@netaxs.comImaging Dana Carvey as Garth Algar starring in "Teenage Caveman," and you pretty much have the plot for this film. I saw this film on HBO late at night (after MST3K, as a matter of fact), and figured it had to be a total T & A movie. Nope. It was pretty violent, the worst parts being when our hero, Garth... err... Yor kills a couple of dinosaurs and the blood is a-flowin' in these scenes. But, like I said, it's pretty much "Teenage Caveman 1993." You find out late in the film that these cavemen aren't our ancestors. This movie takes place in the future! Yor finds out that an evil overlord is living on an island terrorizing other cavemen, so her hunts him down, gets a laser gun, and manages to blow up a nuclear reactor to save the day, and then is made ruler of the world. I watched this film ALONE and still managed to rip it up pretty good. I can only imagine watching this at a MST-ing party! This movie is definitely a must-see for bad movie afficianados!
Michael R. Schneider, mrs@ucla.eduIncomprehensible, yet much fun to watch. If you read the back of the video sleeve after seeing it, you can tell even the blurb-writers had no idea what it was really about. Phenomenal cliches, over-the-top bad theme music, dialogue pieced together from the Bad Dialogue Dictionary ("I am surrounded by fools!") and the final peppermint-stick death, and yet it was made in the 80's. It's the only film I've ever seen given a "1" by Leonard Maltin, and I'll be amazed it if never shows up on MST3K.
