Watch Caveman For Free

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Nothing deep here. Just a "period" piece of sorts regarding men and woman of zillions of years ago. Every popular cliché in pop culture that you can think of about "caveman" and dinosaurs is here in this film, and even a few new ones.It's a simple comedy that's mostly clean, but has a couple of toilet gags and sex jokes in it (shown, not told). Ringo Starr, Shelly Long, Quaid, Bach, Matusak and the Cheetos guy slap leather, hurl rocks, confront prehistoric beasts, invent "technology" and learn a lesson in the end about what it means to be "normal" and accepted.On that level, I guess it is kind of deep stuff, but otherwise it's just good film making. And I say that not because the shots are artistic, but because the film's narrative is one that is easily comprehended to move the story forward and make the jokes stand out more.I am of course looking at this film with rose-colored glasses because I saw it when I was younger. And though it's dated by virtue of its age, I think it still holds up. It was more aimed at the young adults of the 1980s, and not really young kids nor older mature audiences who like their films with a bit more sophistication.Either way, give it a shot and enjoy.

Atouk and Lar meet and join up with other outcasts to form their own tribe, after being banished from their own. The new tribe includes a blind man, a gay couple, a dwarf, and other oddball outcasts rejected by other tribes. But Atouk still longs to be with Lana, the beautiful mate of Tonda, the leader who kicked him out of his tribe......How best to describe this movie? Strange would be a good way to put it, and also, for reasons beyond me, its actually very watchable, and quite funny in places.To put the film across to someone, they would balk at the idea of the film, The drummer from The Beatles, who wasn't the best drummer in the band, starring in a movie about Cavemen, that doesn't have hardly any comprehensible dialogue.I only saw he film, because I thought we would be in Battlefield Earth/Starcrash territory, but don't let the synopsis deter you, the film is endearing, and because of the lack of spoken English, Starr turns in a good performance.The movie is visually stunning, and the stop motion looks so bad, its actually quite good, especially the stop motion Ringo during the final set piece.Ably supported by Long, Quaid, and Bach, Caveman is one of those throwaway movies that is fun while it lasts, but instantly forgettable, and a touch homophobic...

It's funny reading the external reviews for this film. Roger Ebert was such a sourpuss! Whereas Janet Maslin and Pauline Kael, both very serious critics as well, took it for what it was--a harmless, enjoyable little romp through the stone age. I'm sure in 1981 it would have been classed in the same category as "Holy Moses", "History of the World, Part I" and the like, an "adult" comedy filled with innuendo and sly scatological humor. These days it would probably be considered a family film. I was 9 or 10 when I saw it on cable at the baby sitter's house and it tickled me to no end. Watching it again recently it's a ghastly enterprise that would barely make the cut on Comedy Central but it does have its charms, chief among them Ringo Starr as the hapless hero. He's a great physical comedian, using only his face, body and a vocabulary of grunts to express himself. The dinosaurs that seem to be around every corner are goofily rendered in stop motion animation, yet they have twice the personality of any modern CG monster. It's all harmless fun and I wouldn't be horrified to show it to my 10 year old nephew.

Even if Ringo was perhaps not the most important member of his famous band, his career as an actor surpassed his former mates with a large point margin. There certainly have been better actors than he, but even so, seeing a familiar face on the screen makes watching the Caveman anyway a moderately attractive item at least. Most of the Stone Age films have been funny even if they were never made to be comedies: seeing animated puppet dinosaurs and listening to Stone Age people talking with silly grunts has usually proved to be too difficult task to perform properly, in case the film was meant to be taken seriously. Caveman does not suffer from this as it was already planned (if anything in it was actually 'planned') to be a goofy parody of ancient humans and their misfortunes. Caveman is content to make parody of a Stone Age film without being a too serious film; not everybody will find it a pleasure because there are no clever jokes at all. More demanding viewers should be warned of puerile humor Caveman has in large amounts, but if you were especially looking for it, try this without hesitation.
