Fun Fact: This movie has actually given me more nightmares than any other film. The aspect of the people stranded on a planet with no hope of encountering anyone beyond wild animals resonated hard with me with the wild soundtrack and the long sequences of travelling. It also helps that, technically, the dinosaurs act like animals.
The dinosaurs mostly mind their own business until the people bumble upon them; The stegosaur doesn't get mad until her scanner device makes a noise that pisses it off, and when the Rex first shows up, it just kinda roars at them and gives a halfhearted snap before focusing on the stegosaur. Hell the allosaur corners one of the crew but it doesn't even know what to do with them since it's never seen anything like them and after hurting it, it runs off. We don't even need to get into how Harvey dug up the nest and then made a ton of noise. The rex only becomes a mainstay issue when the crew find out they built their home in it's territory and they don't leave said territory.
Again, not a masterpiece, but a massive guilty pleasure film of mine.
Hahaha the bumbling humans fucking shit up as usual 🤣
I mean the premise of this movie would make a good game.
The fanservice girl's death prompted the creation of what I call the Planet of Dinosaurs Rule: never kill off the hottest girl first!
Actually thats the planet of the apes rule
"We intended our Rhedosaurus as a tribute to Ray though it had to be smaller than the one in THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS if we wanted our T-Rex to eat it. Ray visited our studio while we were working and he seemed fine with the idea of his creature making a cameo appearance in our little film." ~ Jim Aupperle
Kong Beast 🙃
Call me Pants man, I have no shirt.
I do sometimes wonder what a Godzilla film from this era would've looked like if it was done in stop-motion
Great stuff indeed!!!🙏👌👻❣️
@@SpinoSam Ever watch the Hanna-Barbera Godzilla? I think Harryhausen's work has more animation frames per second.
Damn, imagine a planet full of Dinosaurs... what would you call a planet like that?
Oh, right, you'd call it Earth.
I will call it Paleotida.
Vasquez. Rocks, home of the famous Gorn cliff, where Kirk fought the Gorn.
Jurassic World? :P
Planet of the Raptors
The Lost World of Atmir.
The burial scene - I've seen that in other movies and I never thought that they just covered the body with rocks. I always assumed that they buried it, then piled the rocks on top of the grave to stop animals from digging up the body.
Wouldn't that make the body less secure? Seems like there'd be a more direct digging path to the corpse, ie. from the side of the rocks and down on an angle. With just rocks, any direct path is blocked by stone, so unless the animal is smart enough to conceptualize digging under and then up, you'd be okay. Even that could be prevented by putting rocks under the body, as well.
The only point in burying the body is to do so deep enough that animals can't detect any trace of it, and therefore don't dig at all. It doesn't offer any anti-mining security. That's my understanding, anyway; not an expert.
You know, from a paleontological perspective the rhedosaur is actually pretty plausible. I mean in every appearance of it it’s been different sizes as an adult, and a lot of predatory dinosaurs had many subspecies allosaurus as an example. And if it could run fast enough like a monitor it would be a pretty effective predator
Yes, but for other dinos, in paletolgical side, they arent acurrate.
Also a creature that grows to 20 feet long... probably takes several years. So having the full adult size... and a few immature ones... totally works
This is the kind of Saturday morning creature double feature I loved as a kid. Always had my dinosaur and Godzilla toys close by to get through the boring scenes.
How do you "ferment" berry juice over the course of an afternoon? These guys can barely tie two sticks together at this point and yet one of them has apparently built a still.
it's actually pretty simple to make alcohol. All you really need is sugar, water, yeast and time. Ancient alcohols, such as mead, would have just used ambient yeast in the atmosphere or on plants. So theoretically it's not much of a stretch for them to have started to make alcohol. Now within an afternoon of course, it takes about two months for mead. But its certainly possible for them to have started. :)
Spaceships, laser guns, and dinosaurs! This movie needs a 21st century reboot!
I remember seeing this once as a kid - the dinos made it memorable. Stop-motion animation rocks! Sad to see the Beast From 20,000 Fathoms bite it a second time, though...
Jeffrey DeCristofaro agreed the stop motion animation was incredible for its time 🍿👍🤯
Yeah it bothered me as well...he was just chilling and gets wrecked.
The song when they are walking at 8:38 sounds like a slowed down version of the song from The Star Wars Holiday Special when the little hologram gymnast contortionist people come out on the table.
This movie should have been called “Walking with dinosaurs episode 4: a new hope”
Godzilla 2019 😝
love your user name
¡Killer RUclips I.D.!👍
hah good childhood memories....but i the reference is hilarious.
Walking Without Dinosaurs
LOL, "Does it involve walking?"
They do more Walking here than in the Walking Dead !!👍👌💪💀
Jim Whitworth, as Jim, was also Papa Jupiter in the original Hills Have Eyes.
Derna Wylde drove my young heart insane. Even now as a full grown man, I can see why I was so enthralled by her. I wore the VHS if this out so much that one day it just crumpled and got tangled inside the VCR. I wasn’t able to salvage it and had to get rid of it. Finally got a DVD copy of it and have kept it since. One of my all time favorite B movies,
#TeamNyla. Just sayin.
You know "Turok" and "The land of the lost"?
You really are a underrated youtuber.
7:20 in, I laughed so hard! Brandon was all bored and then “hmm? oh dinosaurs!”
I saw this as a kid and the water scene where the lady gets eaten scared me as a kid so much. I had just seen Jaws so both movies made me never want to go swim again but at least the pool is safe...till I saw Alligator then Nightmare on Elm Street and finally Arachnophobia I'm surprised my parents got me clean lol I hated water
The shower scene in Arachnophobia, I assume? Scared the hell out of me, too. Still can't watch that movie without major creepy-crawlies, though I doubt anyone can. It's very good!
I thought at first these were Harryhausen dinosaurs - pretty nice effects!
They were a close rival. It was what earned the film a Saturn Award in 1980 for "Best Movie Produced Under $1million".
@@tyrantgregcagkaiju71 😎
In fact, Harryhausen actually visited the set during the movie’s production, where he gave his full consent for the crew to use the Rhedosaurus-like creature’s design for the movie. Cool, huh? 😎
@@tyrantgregcagkaiju71 heard about that 🥳
I just this review and boy did that take me back. My grandma bought me that movie as a kid because I loved dinosaurs. I used to watch that movie every day as a kid. One day I dropped it and broke the VHS. I couldn't find it anywhere. Then one day I did find at a pic n save. That was like a cheaper Kmart. Anyways I still have it and watch it every now and then.
Same here, buddy. It was a store in Illinois called Venture. I must have traced the cover of the VHS a hundred times.
x54 lucky I have to watch this movie on RUclips 🎥
I love this T Rex's roar. It's so otherworldly sounding.
Literally
That comment was kinda spacey dude.
@Omari Zaiden why not just post her password so I don't have to look for it.
I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel. I love this movie. I first saw it when i was a kid and it scared the crap out of me...especially when the poor stego died.
Jim Aupperle worked on this film. He said they called it Planet of Dinosaurs instead of Planet of the Dinosaurs so people wouldn't think they were ripping off Planet of the Apes.
Also bear in mind this was a amateur film.
DevilFish69 TV guide later give it 2 stars📼📺🎥🎞🍿
Just saw the trailer for 65 with Adam Driver and had to rewatch this. I’ve always thought this film was the perfect high concept idea for a reboot with a modern budget. I guess I was right. Someone finally decided to reboot it in a way. Looking forward to watching this film and 65 for comparisons now. What’s the over/under on Adam Driver having his shirt off for most of the movie? Lol
And then it was shit
I've always liked this movie. The Dino scenes are excellent had it on DVD for about 15 years still watch it once in a blue moon along with Gwangi and One Million Years BC . The Rhedosaurus creature is based on the Archosauriforms like Tsylmosuchus, Vjushkovia and Mandasuchus... It Should have had more screen time and got a bite in on that bluddy Tyrannosaurus. I got a model of that particular Rhedosaur.
This movie was one of many dinosaur-related movies I had growing up that added to my love of them. And I still have my VHS copy to this very day-and it still works!
I actually really love this film. Always watched it if it was on television whilst I was a kid. 😁.
Rifftrax made fun of it later on it's really funny and worth a watch🥳
Lmao "you heard dinosaurs when you were in Africa?" 👌😂
You DING DONG!
Well yeah, it's called the mokele-mbembe. ;)
Nice
🤣🤣
Yeah we got tons of dinos here, we have to scare them away from our backyards
I grew up with this movie, it’s awesome. I think the special effects are pretty damn good. Plus this movie just has this creepy tone to it, with one person getting picked off every scene, with that 70s feel that can never be replicated.
Would be pretty cool if it got a remake
15:47-15:59 LMAO That Jeff Foxworthy was amazing, RIP.
Lmao

This is my favorite movie!! Thank you so much! I remember getting this on VHS when I turned seven from my brother.
Good Review of a wonderful movie about walking. Also, I liked when the film devolved into a HR film what with Lee whining to Nyla about Jim's lack of respect, and Nyla--prior to hittin gon Jim--advises him on how to treat people.
this was one of my go to movies when i was at home from school sick as a kid. when i watch it as an adult, i'm pretty sure it was originally intended to be a porno.
My literal response to seeing Rhedosaurus die was "NO! RHEDOSAURUS!"
Yes, mine to
7:22 is the same location where Star Trek filmed Kirks Battle with the Gorn.
I call it ' GORN ROCK'
Speaking of space and dinosaurs, could you review the Dino Riders cartoon series?
"I've heard something like that before." I laughed so hard. He must of watched Jurassic Park.
I recommend Space Vampires Vs. Zombie Dinosaurs in 3D. It''s one of my favorite things to watch.
04:44. Has that guy flexed enough yet? XD
This movie is a classic. Thanks for taking a look at it
Man, the movie version of Walking with Dinosaurs is weird.
John O ́neil I love that show
Well, there's also a "Chased by dinosaurs" movie made in the Czech Republic in 1955: Cesta do Pravêku
Well yeah. There's a lot of Walking and there just happen to be Dinosaurs.
Nononono, you misunderstood. It's Walking. With Dinosaurs.
Watch this movie on RUclips years ago and saw the rifftrax version laughing so hard at it it's one heir funniest 🙃
OMG I LOVED THIS MOVIE AS A KID! Thank you thank you
Not sure why this randomly cropped up in my feed but its nice to know this movie actually did exist and isn't just a fever dream from my days as a four year old :D
the movie was base on a book by Anne McCaffrey and it was the first on her Pirate series. she kind of link it to her other works and the reason why the ship crash is explain in later books
I actually have some of the books from that series.
you...got it backwards, the movie came out before the book, the book came out in 1978 while the film was a whole year earlier. in the late 50s to early i wanna say 80s monsterish movies were being produced quickly and on low budgets because of the big boom that was Godzilla in 1954 or King of the monsters. It may be similar but not based
Yeah, I really don't think this movie had anything to do with Anne McCaffrey.
¡Jesus, Mr. Tenold is talented! ...I belly laugh at least once every video.
I'm also really impressed by the animation in this it's really good.
This is one of the few Best Stop Motion Dinosaur Films From the 1970S.
16:24 looks like the same location where Captain Kirk fought the Gorn.
Both that particular Star Trek episode and this movie were shot at Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park, outside Los Angeles.
That makes sense.
BigAl1976 also Werewolf of London used it for the Himilayas scenes at the beginning.
I think they used that same spot in one of those Bill and Ted movies.
Yea
Production manager: "Should we have a motorized mode of transportation while they're on the planet like a speeder??"
Director: "WITH THIS BUDGET & A SCRIPT 1 PAGE LONG??? ARE U CRAZY??? Got to pad this schlock out to feature length! Let them walk everywhere silently!!" 😕
Screen-writing for Dummies 101: Introducing a plot device item, (especially a weapon) some time during the first act, only to use it to solve a problem during the 3rd act, is know as Chekov's Gun. Now you know! 😆
Feel better, now?
@@Blutteufel Yes, how dare someone offer free knowledge? The horror!!!
Sorta. Chekov's Gun is just that if you intro a gun in Act 1, you should use it by Act 3/the end of the play. It's more about not introducing extraneous elements into your narrative. All you want in there is the strictly relevant stuff, nothing else, because extra crap confuses and distracts the audience.
@@michaelccozens - Chekov's Gun is likely just a smarter way to avoid a Deux Machina, especially if you've painted yourself into a corner.
@@Guernicaman Good point!
Not to be a dick, but it's "deus ex machina", literally "god from the machine", in reference to the apparent trope in old Greek plays of lowering an actor (via "machine") from the ceiling to be a "god" and float there magic-ing all your problems away at the end of the narrative. You had the point exactly right; just wanted to note the label. Sorry if it feels dickish; very much not my intent. I appreciate the interesting conversation!

nice one Brandon Mclovinlt
Love this movie the stop motion animation is impressive for its time🥳
Do a review video on "The Last Dragon". It's a totally 80's black cult classic martial arts film and I think you'll like it.
Dave Ranger love that movie 🍿
Damn! That T-Rex was like a serial killer in this film.
On a more interesting note, this film feels like a precursor to all the 1 million B.C. Movies (and other related films), as it has people and Dinosaurs Co-habiating on the same planet! Not to mention it seemed tailor made to explain how that sort of thing is possible, it's very interesting stuff.
THANK YOU!!!!!! i recomended this a few months ago on the youtube channel's discussion channel and a video, this one of my favorite dinosaur movies btw
Grendel 📺🙃🎞🎥👍
More dinosaurs!
....is this your inner child picking the movies for you, Brandon?
....not judging.
My dad bought me this movie at Kmart and I absolutely loved it. The moment the Mosasaurus took the lady under water, I was immediately hooked to the screen.
9:56
I have tremors playing on the tv right now, funny
Waiting for a tremors review on this channel
6:45 Insert Randall's rant about LOTR movies from Clerks 2
"But I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more."
If the Steven King story The Long Walk sometimes had dinosaurs show up.
I found 'Planet of Dinosaurs' on VHS at my local Value Village last week for only 99 cents, so I had to scoop it up for some cheesy fun. The stop-motion animation of the dinosaurs is pretty cool for the most part and it's its only saving grace. :)
I can overlook many flaws of this film, but i can never forgive that they killed fanservice-girl in the first ten minutes.
Two hot women and they die before the end. I don't get this movie.
I have a soft spot for this movie. My parents owned the VHS of it back when I was a kid. I used to watch it all the time. I never understood why my dad found it as hilarious as he did until I got older and developed better taste in film. He always did love a so-bad-it's-good flick.
I grew up with this movie as a kid. Was a favorite with me and my brothers. Fun fact, that soundtrack actually won awards because it was innovative at the time.
5:10 Y'see, one night my roommate ate this, like, really BIG bean n' cheese burrito...
8:25 Your funeral, Avery Schreiber.
The guy with the beard and the blue jumpsuit reminds me of captain haddock from the adventures of tintin
I have very vivid memories of seeing this movie when I was younger, or at least seeing clips of it in another show about dinosaurs. The guy getting impaled by the styracosaur was what I remember the most, that and when he was yelling "chickie chickie!"
I loved this movie as a kid. I used to rent and watch it every weekend. Thanks for covering it on the show!
Sweet effects, considering the budget. I took a class with the film's director James K. Shea on horror films at my film school hosted by Alan Ormsby who made "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things." You should consider immortalizing that gem.
Yes, but is it "Lost Continent Rock Climbing"-Level-Bad Walking?
Yes, yes it is
Deep Hurting
Good review. BTW, if you ever want to do another Canuxploitaton marathon, I can recommend the 1977 movie "Starship invasions" starring Christopher Lee as an evil alien. Lee has said that it's the worst movie he's ever been in (and that's saying something).
Great video! I actually really want to watch this movie now, even with all the walking!
Jesse Hilton it’s awesome movie you can watch it for free on RUclips 🍿👍
7:19 For some reason I find that reaction hilarious.
I remember watching this as a kid all the time. I owned the VHS for this. Good memories.
I haven't heard the name Fred Penner since I was a kid!
This is another one I've seen on Rifftrax. One thing I found amusing is that at the end the characters are shown in order of who died. ...at least I think they were.
I'm so glad you finally got around to reviewing this movie!
Before we start, just wanna say, I love this movie, cheese and all. Also, the Tyrannosaurus (not T.Rex) is one of my favorite giant movie monsters.
I get tired of people just saying "T. Rex" all the time myself.
KeepingAngelaBaker oh my gosh, shut up
Tyrannosaurus Rex
T-Rex.
I had to call it T-Rex for my joke in the comments. I mean, "Tyrannosaurus out, Pecs out" doesn't have the same *zing* , ya know?
Jeff Foxworthy, Burton Cummings... that's the funniest thing I ever heard!
This is a first, a movie that I actually saw and owned that you've reviewed that wasn't a Godzilla film. Yay I have a cult classic!
AronRa would have field day with this movie. Or his head would explode from the pseudo-science representation of evolution.
Great job on this, Brandon! That's one of my favorite Dino movies from my youth. I love the references to Sinbad and The Last Dinosaur movies too!
I love the old stop motion dinosaurs from these kinda films...awesome
We watched this movie when I was a kid it was one of my favorite monster movies

I grew up loving dinosaur movies. One Million Years B.C. is, to this day, my very favorite movie of all, yet, when I saw Planet of the Dinosaurs around 1990, I turned it off half an hour into it. As you say, lots of walking.
The moustachioed twerp getting impaled was hilarious! 😆
I guess the movie should be called "Walking: the movie, featuring dinosaurs".
I remember my dad taped this for me when I was a kid. I watched it once but told him to tape it over because the spider scene scared me half to death.
You know. There was a video game about Dinosaurs and Humans fighting, it was called Paraworld and it was an RTS.
ruclips.net/video/7VL7lSRFTMs/видео.html
I'd love to see a movie about that.
I used to have this movie on VHS when I was a kid. I used to love watching it
11:21 this scene in the movie gave me so much anxiety as a kid I swear I was terrified of spiders for weeks... Uuuaggh!! 😫
I watched this on repeat as a kid, still have the VHS with the box falling apart. I thought it kicked so much ass back then.
Nice "Guess Who" reference. You should use "Running back to Saskatoon" as your theme song. That would rock!
It's a damn good thing they didn't run across any Gorn on that planet! ...But then that might have helped move the plot along a little better.
This was my favorite movie when I was a kid until I saw STAR WARS for the first time in 1987. I was completely oblivious to how horrific the entire thing was until I was an adult, except for one thing: PLANET OF [THE] DINOSAURS has the worst laser guns of any sci-fi movie ever made. They are completely and utterly worthless.
OMG! I've only ever remembered the sound track for this movie!!! I loved this film when I was like, 3-5 and then never saw it again. I just remembered dinosaurs and a kick-ass soundtrack!
Please do The Bermuda Depths next, it's another classic giant monster film.
