One Million Years B.C.

One Million Years B.C. is a 1966 British adventure fantasy film directed by Don Chaffey. The film was produced by Hammer Film Productions and Seven Arts, and is a remake of the 1940 American fantasy film One Million B.C.. The film stars Raquel Welch and John Richardson, set in a fictional age of cavemen and dinosaurs. Location scenes were filmed on the Canary Islands in the middle of winter, in late 1965. The U.K. release prints of this film were printed in dye transfer Technicolor. The U.S. version was cut by nine minutes,[3] printed in DeLuxe Color, and released in 1967.[4] Like the original film, this remake is largely ahistorical. It portrays dinosaurs and humans living at the same point in time; according to the geologic time scale, the last non-avian dinosaurs became extinct 66 million years ago, and modern humans (Homo sapiens) did not exist until about 300,000 years B.C. Ray Harryhausen, who animated all of the dinosaur attacks using stop-motion animation techniques, commented on the U.S. King Kong DVD that he did not make One Million Years B.C. for "professors...who probably don't go to see these kinds of movies anyway."

Dinosaurs of the Dead

A throwback to cheesy 80's horror movies, Harryhausen stop-motion films, and dinosaur/monster flicks. In the cold of October, a strange and deadliest phenomenon occurs when large fossilized dinosaurs rise from their grave to eat the living. Danger escalates as humans bitten by the undead dinos begin to mutate into half-human, half-reptile abominations! A rag tag group of survivors must head over to a secret base and find the one weapon that can destroy them, giant mechanical dinosaurs!
