One Million Years B.C.

« on: February 22, 2007, 03:04:22 PM »

I saw One Million Years B.C. for the first time a month ago. I didn't like the movie, but I was very impressed with the special effects. The stop motion dinosaurs looked almost as real as they did in Jurassic Park. Very impressive for a movie made in the 60s.

And welcome to the world of Ray Harryhausen!!
Harryhausen did very very good special effects for lots of not-all-that-great movies.
If you liked the look of the animals in this film, check out anything else bearing the Harryhausen logo -- Start with Beast From 20,000 Fathoms and Jason and The Argonauts.

I think my favorite HH film was Clash of the Titans. Sigh... Even though I'm mostly open-minded, I just don't see the remake being as good, especially if they CG it up.

I must have seen &th VOYAGE OF SINBAD 20 times...and I never tire of it.I saw The GOLDEN VOYAGE of SINBAD,CLASH of the TITANS,and SINBAD and the EYE of the TIGER on their original releases,at the Strand in the 70's,on Saterday matinee days.Many good childhood memories...
A lttle seen early movie featuring animation by Ray and Willis O'Brian was Bert I. Gordons ANIMAL WORLD(1955), including some great dinosauer battling.
Also little known-he did a series of stop motion Fairy tales before his film work.

Which included these charecters,among many others.This guy deserves some kinda Acadamy Award.

He did get one. It was a Lifetime Acheivement Award or something. Tom Hanks presented it to him.

I've actually seen several films Harryhausen worked on before I watched One Million Years B.C. I've seen Jason and the Argonauts, Earth vs the Flying saucers and First Men in the Moon. I thought the effects for 1million B.C were a bit better than the others, even though the movie itself isn't as good.

How good does a movie really need to be as long as it has cool dinosaur fights and Raquel Welch in a leather bikini? TeddyR

The movie does come across as a vehicle for Harryhausen's dinosaurs and Raquel's body. Everything else is merely a delivery vehicle for those. I actually liked the story in "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth" more - plus it had pretty darn good stop motion as well (Dave Allen's, I think).

I love anything with Harryhausen's stop-motion.

A personal favortie is 20 million miles to Earth. No screen creature since Kong has every been as alive as the Ymir-and very few since.

One Million years B.C gave us awsome dinosuars and sex appeal, so what's not to love?

I heard about the clash of the Titan's remake. I'm afraid the producers and directors will try to hard to give us a "God of War" movie instead of something closer to Ray's original picture.

Oh, don't poke your Ymir with a stick
With a stick
Oh don't you poke that Ymir with a stick
'Cause if you poke your Ymir
He'll dislocate your femur
And tear you into pieces purdy quick . . .

Your a sick poet! I LIKE that about you!

To Earth, a Yimr was passed.
Before his time, poured from a glass.
Embiggened he got.
Poked, prodded, and shot.
Can you blaim him for kicking some ass?

GO YMIR!

Roses are Red;
Violets are Blue;
Ymir hates elephants;
But I don't-I like elephants! Twirling
