Caveman, looks silly and sometimes presents a poor script. But this Carl Gottlieb's comedy is really funny together with his special effects and unforgettable scenes.

This spoof of One Million Years B.C. with ex-Beatle Ringo Starr as the prehistoric hero is ridiculous and quite brainless fun because of the amount of sexual innuendo, it is definitely not recommended for kids. The delightfully ridiculous stop-motion animation dinosaurs le... read more

I recently found this one to show to my daughter, who is a big Ringo Starr fan. Even though this film is now about 30 years old, we both still laughed and laughed. The jokes are juvenile, but well placed. Very much recommended!

the worst former-beatle-tryin'-to-rape-a-woman movie ever

A long way from the Lester Beatle films
Dismiss Caveman as low-minded stupidity if you like, but I may be giggling too loudly to hear your complaints. Full Review
I'm sure many a critic remarked at the time that the ex-Beatle's best acting performance to date didn't require him to speak
