Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRobert Vaughn said in an interview that he considered this to be the worst film ever made.
- GoofsNear the beginning of the film, the Symbol Maker (Leslie Bradley) asks his woman, "Where's the boy? Beyond the river?" The left sleeve strap of the Symbol Maker's fur outfit is sewn together. In the next scene, the strap comes undone and he is holding the strap under his left arm. In the next scene, the strap is now tied together with a leather shoelace. Later in the film, this strap is shown tied together in two different places. Apparently there were problems keeping this sleeve strap together throughout the entire film, because it changes constantly.

Featured review
This is a 1950s era B-movie about a teenager(aka guy clearly in his 20s) living in a community of cavemen. Is actually somewhat better than most B-movies(and most Roger Corman movies, not that there really is a difference), mainly due to parts of the plot. That said, by any other standard, it is still a pretty clumsy looking film with a number of silly scenes, which earned it a place on MST3K. And if you want to see this movie, I encouraged you to watch the MST version, which is, of course, hilarious.
