I remember when this movie first came out in 1969. The combination of a western and prehistoric film caught our attention. I was 8 years old at the time. This movie was a hit back in El Paso, TX. This brings back great memories of that era.
Great channel, and especially like this review. Gila Golan was a beautiful Israeli model and actress who starred in various adventure movies in the 60s..she's still alive and lives in Florida with her third husband. Also, Almeria Spain was the filming location for the Warrior Nun TV series that came out this year.
That is cool. She gets through a lot of husbands heh heh. Yeh Almeria has been used in a lot of series and movies. I could have listed hundreds, but most people know game of thrones
Ditched sunday school with 2 friends, who joined me as a 7 year old to see this cinematic masterpiece- worth the spankin!
It was well worth it then LOL
I loved watching this video Time Prophet. The 3d rigging and animation was amazing, such a great intro! You have an amazing skill with audiovisual presentation and this was such a treat to watch. I really can't understate that you set a golden standard for what a film review and breakdown should strive to be. Thank you again for this amazing video!
Thanks for your great review, of my review. This was my first ever movie review
@@TheTimeProphet I really needed to watch something like this today. You did a really great job and I think a lot of people would benefit from watching this. It turned out so good and it was definitely worth the watch!
This is a really in-depth review. I actually really wanna watch this now.
Great review. This movie looks awesome. The stop motion animation was excellent
WOW!! You are seriously talented!! GREAT LOOKING WORK!! What a trippy movie, lol
Well as soon as I have finished the software I am writing I have a new review planned. Needed to take a break from videos for a short time to do my other love which is programming
Another great video and what a movie. I have always loved this movie since I saw it as a nipper. Great stuff. 👍😉
I always remember the little horse, and surprisingly I thought the movie was Black n White, because when I first saw it we had a Black n White tv
@@TheTimeProphet Yes. I love the little horse, and like you said in the video, I always felt sorry for Gwangi at the end, the same as I do for King Kong, and Frankenstein's monster.
Great channel Prophet!
I can see many elements that Spielberg probably used from this movie to make his Jurassic park movies, nice old movie that brings me back to my childhood at maybe 7 years old, didn't exactly remembered the whole thing, I just knew it was about cowboys and dinosaurs, internet is a fantastic thing!
Thought I was subbed to you.... well I am now!!!!
I dont like to seee horses getting hurt either, but these are trained to fall which is better than the "running W" they used to use - a rope was tied to the horses neck and run under his belly. (I believe thats right). then the horse would take off at a gallop, hit the end of the rope and flip. They still do this in some countriess, its so cruel. Love these Andalusian horses in this movie, roping the T rex, amazing!
Whoa! The intro is great Time Prophet!
Watched this today, thought it was really good for when it was made.
Great intro. I love it.
Area 51 for dinosaurs. LOL.
Same as you, I hate the cruelty to the horses. (not fussed about the dino's, they had their time)
Wonderful review. I've only seen it once in the 70's and I forgot about it.
Fun review! Some fun facts:
I believe Valley was loosely based on a 1950s unused idea.
VALLEY OF THE MIST was another Willis O'Brien project that put humanity in contact with dinosaurs . This time , a boy hunts down a giant lizard in a hidden valley . He intends to trade it for his prized bull , which has been sold by his father . Originally titled Emilio and Guloso , then El Toro Estrella ( The Star Bull ) , screenwriter William " Bill " Lasky created a new screenplay from O'Brien's treatment and gave it a new title : Valley of the Mist . Bill hoped to get his father , the legendary Jesse L. Lasky , founder of Paramount Pictures , to green - light the picture . The film was to have been shot in Mexico , in full Technicolor . However , no studio would agree to finance a movie that involved so much special effects animation after the perceived overspend on Mighty Joe Young . This was a film that Ray would undoubtedly have worked on had it gone ahead.
Cool - I love all the Ray Harryhausen movies.
This is one of my favorite movies. I also love the music. ( I recently bought the soundtrack.) I am torn between thinking they should do a remake, but NOT do a remake. IF it was done right, they could fix some of the problems. But keep the time period and overall storyline.
The little Eohippus gets me every time
I'd say if there were to be a remake then paleo accurate designs should be used.
I have always loved this movie!
Dude! I really dig your intro too. This is amazing!
The intro took longer to do than the entire video. Something like 13 hours of rendering, but it was worth it
@@TheTimeProphet When I edit it takes me well throughout the night so I sympathize lol
Yo vi esta película cuando era niño, que nostalgia volverla a ver
gracias
Had a recording of this movie on VHS growing up. The copy I had was recorded poorly off of the old TV20 Detroit channel(now the CW), because the beginning parts before and after the credits, along with other scenes, were missing. Despite these scenes missing from my recorded copy, I didn’t know, and didn’t care, I still loved this film, and use to rewatch all the time as a little kid.
Saved to my watch later list 👍
If people start calling the t-rex in this movie an Allosaurus, I’m gonna flipping loose it.
I’m gonna loose all faith in humanity.
Umm, being the only dino-expert in the chat here, a Pteranodon technically is a Pterodactyl--it's just not THE Pterodactyl (Pterodactylus)--the general public beforehand and after, however, uses this nickname mostly to reference Pteranodon, despite it being a household name among the family of short-tailed pterosaurs (Pterodactyloidea). Upon recent discoveries, it was found that certain species of Pterodactylus had crests on top of their heads, albeit relatively shorter than their later cousins--it's just something to point out and correct before any other viewers check down the comment section.
Yes I agree a Pterandon is technically a Pterodactyl. I went with the term Pteranadon because that is what the characters used in the movie. Also since this movie came out we have had a lot of new discoveries which were not known about when the movie was released. I don't claim to be a dinosaur expert, but I do love movies. Thanks
@@TheTimeProphet You're welcome. A little trivia goes a long way--thanks for understanding.
My biggest problem, (even when I was a kid), was that the pteranodon's fingers were in the wing membrane like that of a bat. Pterodactyls' pinky finger supported the wing membrane and the other fingers were short and exposed at the middle of the wing like little claws. This drove me crazy. How could Ray make this mistake?
@@donosborne9398 I'll give you on word: Dramatics. Harryhausen looked at Paleoart for references and studied anatomy, of course he gave this Pteranodon model bat-wings on purpose, because formerly his model from One Million Years B.C. has the correct wings, from that time of knowledge. Plus they did this Rodan also, it's a little eyesore, but nothing to detrimental unlike the Pteranodons from Jurassic World.
The 3-D intro is epic. Well done 👍
Thanks I have another one planned soon, but a little delayed as I am helping someone out with another project at the moment
With the right people...and director this is one of few movies I think could be remade really well. I saw this on TV at 7 and it stuck with me my whole life. I am now 48 and search this movie because it was so unusual. Cowboys and Aliens... nah..but cowboys and dinosaurs rocks! Harry Houser created some of the best creatures. I hate C.G.I. for the most part. I have had a family of skinks( a type of lizard) under my carport and watched them closely. The funny thing is the small ones move there tails exactly like stop motion. It has that static strobe like motion of old stop motion. This movie is a classic! Enjoyed the video but you just can't get too technical about a movie. If you want to go watch Cinemasins because all movies have flaws. I still say I grew up loving these old " creature features" and they are groundbreaking.
p.s. only an idiot would travel to the valley and not realize they had blanks. Duh....
Ahh yes my childhood movie+ the dinosaur that gwanwji grabbed i think was referenced in the part where trex grabs glimamuis
masterpiece!!!
Excellent review, it makes me want to watch it with a different view on it. Love the 3D intro!
Too nitpicky. A string of snarky putdowns.
Agreed mate, especially when you consider the utter shite they're crapping out today at the cost of a few hundred million dollars. Give me these old movies any day. They're priceless and just don't make 'em like this anymore.
I think that the pterosaur (and other creatures) stuck around the valley just due to it’s resources. Like, why leave when you go plenty of food and water there already.
Yeh it was probably their hunting ground. Just as well the cowboys didn't have satellite LOL
Yeah to me I really like the stop motion it reminds me of monster movies like Godzilla that also rehousing made in 1953called 20,000 phantoms that a monster name the Ray Sauris attacks city
And that one of the people made from Toho made Godzilla and he was based on us because one of the scenes the dinosaur attack in the light House was based on of Godzilla
@@elijahzilla619 Just love Godzilla
@@TheTimeProphet Yeah me too
@@TheTimeProphet oh song by Paul happy New Year’s
I actually wonder who winning the battle Gwangi or the Ray Sauris
Wow great commentary and video man that’s awesome
I love how Gwangi got pre-emptive rigor mortis when he pushed his way though the cliff. Like one of those goats.
This movie sounds like Scrooge, only with dinosaurs instead of ghosts. Bad move because ghosts are real and no one has ever seen a dinosaur.
Mind you I have never seen a ghost LOL
@@TheTimeProphet touché!
I really want this movie to be remade. Would only hope it has some real grit to it.
Unfortunately some of the remakes do not do the originals justice. I love the charm of the stop motion animation, which you wouldn't have in the remake
I WANT A EOHIPPUS!!!!!
Everyone wants an Eohippus
Yeah I know it has animal cruelty but that was probably bacon in this video I don’t know why the abuse real horses rather than stop motion
I know a movie known as Cowboys vs Dinosaurs. So, as you were saying about the Idea of Cowboys and Dinosaurs never being repeated?
a typical asian elephant would have more mass (6 short tons vs 2.5), but the Allosaurus would be much longer (30 ft. vs 10 ft. tall at the shoulder of an elephant) w/a smaller skull than the elephant.
If you watch the new trailer of jurassic world dominion, there is a small hint of this movie
where do I watch the valley of gwangi
One question
How did gwangi snatch the dwarf who was on the other side of the gage🤔
if your being serious, i thought the miniature extinct horse looked rat like.
Gwangi is my favourite Harryhausen dinosaur (ALLUROSAUR is the species) and even eclipses the 1 million yrs b,c ones.
there was in fact another cowboy/dinosaur film also a 60s film but with weak stop motion animation, - The something> of crag or hanging rock not sure of the exact title.
i believe a T rex is about a foot taller than a full grown bull elephant which can reach 11ft in height
Yeh I can see why you think it looks rat like. Yeh I did know that about elephants, and yes they can be that tall, but I still didn't feel it looked right. For instance I once talked to C.Tad Devlin who produced "George of the jungle" and apparently they changed the size of their elephant 3 times because they couldn't get the size of the cgi elephant right. Of course it is easier to change the size of a cgi elephant than a stop motion one.
You're thinking of the beast of hollow mountain from the late 50s.
@@JohnPLally thank you that's helpful' what was your opinion on Gwangi if youv'e not given one?
your wrong it has been repeated
im referring to the beast of hollow mountains
