there is one guy who used to come here that was really into this movie.  some might even say TOO into it.  He said it was not a b film but in fact an " A+++"

Hey, now, guys, don't knock Gwangi! I loved this movie as a kid, and it still has a special place in my heart (*sniff*).

I especially liked the eohippus, the scene where Gwangi gets a flagpole to the ear, and the scene with the cowboy bulldogging the pteradactyl.

If you liked Gwangi, you might also try Dinosaurus!. It's not quite as good, but it has many fun moments.

Me too.  My favorite scenes are:

- when the cowboy first runs into Gwangi, takes a few shots to no effect, and then wisely rides like the dickens!

- Gwangi vs. elephant!

- Gwangi eats evil midget!
