O2D This movie has everything.Forty year old people playing teens, pretending it's dark outside and splitting up to search.About a third of the movie is this kid singing.Even while laying on the ground in the desert alone at night, he still has a full band accompanying him.One time he decides he wants to dance so he just hands his guitar to a random guy and now that guy is in the band.Not to be out done, that guy hands it off to another guy and even he can just jump right into the song.Of course this kid can't shut up about his dune buggy, which is just a car with all the body panels missing.So the teen girl has seen a giant cave man and since her elderly father doesn't believe her, he immediately drops everything to go look for him by himself.You know he disappears and then the kids go looking for him and decide to split up.And you know what happens when people split up.For most of the movie it seems like the audio must be dubbed because it just doesn't really fit and that leads us to the best part of this movie.When the dung buggy gets stuck in the sand, the kid turns to his girlfriend and her dad(who are riding in it with him) and says "Get in!".WHAT?While not even close to being a good movie, this may be the best cave man movie I have seen.
B MovieManiac A ripping yarn of a B movie classic.Anyone who tries to apply current movie standards to this kind of chaos really needs to find a new hobby.This is a movie based on the concept "Richard Kiel is a big guy, how can we make a movie out of this"Strangely it's only in the last few minutes that you really get a sense of the size of this guy.Ultimately this movie is a King Kong story line with King Kong swapped out for a caveman dude.I have a feeling that this movie is not historically accurate.Watch it and enjoy it for what it is a piece of entertainment
Red-Barracuda Say what you like about this film but it's certainly a one off. Some folks will no doubt consider this a blessing of course. For me, this is a strange and trashy movie that is worthy of its cult status. It's not exactly good as such but it's a unique oddity and for that it scores some points. The story is about a giant caveman called Eegah who has somehow survived into 60's California by living in a cave in the Mojave Desert. His life is complicated when he falls in love with a young woman who discovers him by chance. And from here on in a bunch of stuff happens.Production values are rock bottom and the acting is really bad but none of that damages the film very much. The ridiculous story doesn't need production values. What we do have though is the somewhat unorthodox leading man Arch Hall Jr. in the role of the rock 'n' rolling boyfriend. He intermittently calls a halt to proceedings and knocks out one of his rock 'n' roll numbers. This adds an extra layer of unusualness to proceedings, giving Eegah yet a further string to its bow. The scenes with Eegah and the girl and her father in the confines of his cave are also worthy of note. In the sense that they are very dodgy indeed! At one point the daughter shaves her father, which I have to say just felt wrong on a number of levels. And then later she is roughly fondled by Eegah while her strange dad impassively looks on. Again, the tone and handling of the scene is bordering on being fairly inappropriate in a film that otherwise would probably be a kids movie. Still, its details like that that simply add to Eegah's bizarro reputation.It's bad but sort of quite good at the same time. Whichever way you look at it, it's far superior to the much bigger budgeted but essentially quite similar California Man from 1992. That one starred the appalling Pauly Shore – give me Arch Hall Jr. any day of the week over that guy!
tfog92 Even though this film is one of the worst movies of all time and has terrible acting, a bad plot, and awful dialog, I love it. I have been watching Eegah since I was a very young kid after we got it as a joke present from my uncle. It is so bad it is very fun to watch and I must have seen it at least 50 times over the course of my life! There is a certain sweetness about the film and the characters that makes it interesting, and by the end of the film you really will grow to to like the giant, Eegah, who despite his menacing appearance, is a nice guy. I have such great memories of this movie and while it is terrible, Eegah remains a very special film for me and all of my family.
