## Description

After Raquel Welch conquered the screen in One Million Years B.C., Hammer Studios followed up with When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, written and directed by Val Guest (The Quatermass Xperiment) and based on a story by J.G. Ballard (Crash). Victoria Vetri stars as Sanna, rescued from ritual sacrifice by Tara (Robin Hawdon), a member of a rival tribe. Her survival coincides with the mysterious formation of a new "fire" in the sky: the moon! Sanna's old tribe blames her for this affront to the sun; Sanna flees their wrath and Tara follows. Their shared adventures loom as large as the giants who once ruled the earth!

Review: Looks great not like ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. blu ray scan but it looks very good. - Looks great not like ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. scan but it looks very good. Now in some scenes there is a little jitter in the picture only the professional eye will pick that up like die hard film collectors. In the SPFX scenes the color looks muted [pale] some scenes look faded The egg scene, when the big DINO finds her in the egg shell .the long shots has a slight wave to the bottom part of the image. There is no thumb nails picture frame GO TO scene menu style. YES IT IS UNCUT real sexy and real 70s. The night scenes look fantastic [ vivid color ] The trailer looks good [anamorphic] warner bros is LAZY they use all the OLD video masters from 15 years and put a 1080 filter on the image and soup up the focus. who are they kidding that's why the print still has a slight jitter. it is the same 35mm PRINT master. like the Warner’s HAMMER Draculas ,Frankenstein and Mummy. if this was a remastered edition you would get a rock steady picture with a boom sound and great color correction in timing. like studio canal did for ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. that kino use and zoomed in for the u.s.a. release. who are they kidding. the blu ray it is 70% better of the same 35mm print then the standard dvd. they are going to pulled this title you know how warner works, it's about the bottom line the money. making fast cash. think about it ... warner push the blu ray format out years ago, if warner was for the HAMMER fans, the film would of bin a new remastered scan with all the bells out a long time ago.this film came out because of new KONG and ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. And this is off the record : the so-call dvd / blu ray collectors , you know the ones that you see on youtube with 2000- 3000 blu rays and dvds behind them while they talk about BORING lame 1990s - 2017 sci fi / horror films that ALL the NO TALENT scrips are each worth $2.00. they can not watch in a life time. the so-call collectors know nothing about the history on DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH ,first it came on vhs tape u.s.a. cut ,then laser disc u.s.a. cut. then for best buy stores only a fluke happen. it was release the UNCUT euro version on DVD double feature with Moon Zero Two .HAMMER fans went heywire buying most of all the DVDs .warner pulled the remaining DVDs could not find any dvd at best buy stores, then people were selling them on line up to $200.00 . so BEFORE anybody wants to knock the Film, like the so-call new blu ray collectors, know the history on the Well Made Film with heart . not like the cookie cutter SAME rehash stories garbage sci fi / horror so-call movies of today.

Review: Very Happy!!! Waited many years for this D.V.D. !!! - First & foremost I would like you all to Know my review is about the D.V.D. " When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth 1970" as sold by desertcart.com. I do not see where it benefits any potential buyer to write a review based on any version other than what is being represented & sold by desertcart.com. E.I. Korean, German, Chinese or any other product other than the one advertised by desertcart.com! The D.V.D. I purchased from desertcart.com has a beautiful picture & sound quality. Both the case & disc are of the finest quality material & have wonderful art work on them. As far as the film itself you might want to watch it first before sitting down with your grandchildren to bond over sharing this old gem with them as this is the unrated version of the film and may show a bit more nudity than you remember from your youth. While I am no prude I would rather you be aware that this version does have nudity in a sexual context. If you are purchasing this film chances are you have seen it before & it is endearing to you from years ago. If this film is new to you & your picking it up because you love all things Dinosaur related I'm pretty sure you will enjoy it. You may find the over use of the apparently generic words " Akita" & " Neecro" a tad bit annoying once you get past that this is a wonderful little slice of escapist fantasy containing stop motion animation special effects approaching the quality of the master of that craft Ray Harryhausen. I don't like to go into great detail about movies so I don't give away spoilers or raise expectations. Since there is really no " real" dialogue going on they made this film visually explanatory. I am very happy to finally be able to add this film to my movie library, as for many years it was only available at outrageous prices or only offered on region 2 format's not playable on most players in the U.S. or Canada. This plays well in all my players both D.V.D. players & Blu-Ray players.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hammer production's Caveman vs Dinosaurs Movie
*by D***R on September 6, 2019*

It seems that in the late sixties, and early seventies, all of the big film companies had put together films of prehistoric man (cavemen) living on the planet before the dawn of civilization. A common thread run through most the films showing cave men living with dinosaurs. Although geological history suggests dinosaurs were long extinct before the arrival of man. Okay, with that said the deal is the cave women are scantly dressed and looking quite sexy in these movies (remember Rachel Welsh stared in one such movie). No real dialog, the draw is giant monsters (I.E. Dinosaurs, and scantly clad beautiful women) Well some of these Cavemen vs Dinosaurs movie come off very poorly. However this Hammer film is one of the better ones with a pretty good plot. The story follows the life of a good looking blond cavewoman, and her exploits. I enjoyed the movie and thought that hammer's plot was good, with just enough twists, and turns to keep you engaged. The animation I thought was pretty good for the sixties and seventies. If you like these old movies, and enjoy hammer film studio's work, you will be pleasantly surprised by this old "Caveman" movie. I recommend this film to those who like old campy "B" movies, and are fans of cavemen vs dinosaurs movies.
