Set in a nonexistent past when humans and dinosaurs lived together, a small tribe is struggling to survive by giving a sacrifice of a blond woman to their gods in return for protection from the giant lizards looking to snack on them. Sanna, one of the sacrificial offerings, finds herself on her own when a freak storm interrupts the ceremony. As she searches for a safe haven, she encounters hostility from rival tribes and lots of huge and very hungry dinos. (imdb)

Some of the dinosaur stop motion is interesting, and it's a beautiful setting - filmed in the Canary Islands - but overall it's very clearly an attempt to cash in again on the Hammer cave man series. 1,000,000 BC was a million times better.

The only redeeming part of this film is watching Angela Dorian and Imogen Hassall romping around in skimpy loincloths. I've often wondered how much the screenwriter was paid for his work on this script. You see, back in ancient times, every idea or thought you wanted to communicate to another cave person could be done by uttering the word Akita. They must have used that word 2,000 times in this film.

This movie's reviewed well by Maltin's guide and various other trade reviewers. I don't understand why myself. This is another caveman movie with people in skins jawing nonsense at each other that bores me right out of the room

ONE MILLION BC is a very stupid movie that you can't take your eyes away from. WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH wants to be ONE MILLION BC, but all it replicates is the Stupid. Oh, yeah, it's got GREAT stop-motion work by Jim Danforth, but you can watch the Good Parts (including Victoria Vetri's topless scene) in under ten minutes -- if the rest of the picture doesn't drive you screaming out into the night. Not a keeper -- not even for the dinosaurs.
