VHS Movie Reviews of Caveman [VHS]
Movie Review: caveman
Summary: 2 Stars
the dvd case seemed original or maybe a coloured copy but the dvd itself seemed to be a copy. There was no picture or other sign of originality itself on the actual dvdMovie Review: Funny
Summary: 4 Stars
If you like the three stooges (and Ringo), you'll like this movie. It's goofy, silly humor like the Stooges.Movie Review: "Caveman"'s dinosaurs
Summary: 4 Stars
I just read all 56 (at this writing) reviews of this film, and I am quite surprised that no one mentioned the special effects, specifically the stop-motion animation dinosaurs. The models are well-constructed & fluidly animated, and the composites are convincing--there's one shot of a live-action Ringo Starr riding a stop-motion puppet dinosaur that is just astounding. I'll concede that the drug humor and Atouk's attempt to have his way with the sleeping Lana should disqualify younger viewers from seeing it (and they make the PG rating dubious), but just because a film shouldn't be watched by kids doesn't automatically make it bad.Movie Review: Caveman
Summary: 4 Stars
Caveman is a film that can be watched multiple times & still make you laugh. Not quite a classic but it is the best film Ringo Starr ever made in which he had the lead role. There's very little true dialog which only adds to the hilarity. There are many highlights in this film. And it implies a lot of firsts in history occurred with Atouk's (Starr) tribe of misfits. In these we have the discovery of fire, the first jam session, the first fried egg, the first use of weapons, the first chiropractic procedure & the first "mickey finn".
The film features some-to-be stars: Dennis Quaid (Lar)& Shelley Long (Tala). Other actors include Jack Gilford (Gog), John Matuszak in grand form (Tonda) & the well endowed Barbara Bach (Lana). The film centers on Atouk & the band of misfits he puts together. He is cast out of his own tribe by Tonda because Atouk is always trying to get with Lana. Later he finds Lar who becomes his best friend. Later they come across Tala & Gog. Gog is blind & this leads to some memorable moments. We even get an unrecognizable Richard Moll (Bull Shannon/Night Court) as the Abominable Snowman.
Caveman falls into the same category as Airplane! released the year before. It's a parody that spoofs other films or situations that could only happen the caveman way. The film can be played in three different languages (why?): English, French & Spanish. It also has subtitles (again, why?) in the same three languages. Actually, you can pretty much enjoy this film without any audio except for the jam session.
It's a great film that I never fail to enjoy. Highly recommended. It also has two versions of it because it's a two-sided disc. One is the widescreen & the other is standard mode.

Whatch this movie years ago was glad to see it on DVD. Very funny and glad to add it to our collection.
Summary of Caveman [VHS]
Yes, that's a former Beatle in caveman costume for this more-dumb-than-funny 1981 comedy about a prehistoric misfit (Ringo Starr) who recruits other misfits to start a new tribe. The jokes about flatulence and sex are banal, but the cast of then-unfamiliar faces is fun to watch from the perspective of history. The best thing going are some dinosaur special effects, though Ringo might argue meeting his future wife (Barbara Bach) was a good deal. --Tom KeoghParody & Spoof Video
