Rewatching this review, and I've just remembered that Brandon Tenold in his review pointed out that our lovable antihero has an open fireplace on his private 'plane!
Saw this late night when I was a kid and really enjoyed it. It works because Boone is SO invested in the part. A junky little movie but he makes you think "This guy's nuts, I wanna see what happens."
Zap Rowsdower. There is no name in cinematic history more appallingly stupid and yet so perplexingly delightful in cinematic history. _The Final Sacrifice_ anyone?
I remember just dying to see this when I was seven and then falling asleep midway through on the night it came out, lol. Richard Boone was awesome in Hombre.
I see Joan Van Ark didn't learn her lesson after appearing in Frogs (1972) , although this might explain why she was so good at portraying sometimes unstable housewife Valene Ewing on Knots Landing for over a decade.
Smaug! The voice of the hunter guy! it took me a while to recognize it but that's Smaug from the Rankin Bass animated Hobbit movie. Too bad he was in this piece of dreck dinosaur film! Great video as always!
This film was made by Tsuburaya Productions, a independent Japanese studio mainly known for creating the famous Ultraman franchise, founded by the genuinely talented Eiji Tsuburaya who created the effects in the 50s and 60s Godzilla films. This was during a period where the studio was struggling financially, unable to afford productions with the effects load of Ultraman. They did a lot of co-productions like this during this time, where they weren't footing the whole bill. There were also several shows combining 2D animation and live action miniature effects. This was also when they produced lower budget series capitalizing off profitable concepts, like TIME OF THE APES and FUGITIVE ALIEN, which are a lot better shows than their edited down Sandy Frank releases would lead you to believe.
Richard Boone, best known as Paladin in the TV western "Have Gun - Will Travel", is an example of a once-iconic star hanging on too long to make a few bucks. He deserved better. On the plus side, your Evil Lockdown Facial Hair is looking pretty good.
I quite liked I Bury The Living with him in. At least sort-of, the sound cut-off halfway through on my copy. "This is really quite arty for a cheap American movie!" I thought as he silently ran through the graveyard but then people turned up, mouths moving silently and I saw it was a dud disc!
MeTV has been showing Have Gun - Will Travel on Saturday mornings for the last several years. it's a good show.

Oh my God. It's THAT Richard Boone. I was watching and watching thinking "who is he?". I just assumed it was someone I didn't know, but he kept acting like...someone who knew how to act. He was comfortable doing the job. HOW did I not see that? He was a cowboy James Bond. How could he do this?
What's really scary? Realizing that Richard Boone was only about 60 when this film was released. He looked a good 10 years older at least. He died of throat cancer at 63. Life wasn't kind to him, and he wasn't kind to life.
Something tells me neither Richard Boone or the screenwriter were told how the T. rex was going to be brought to life. Also, favorite movie character name? Going with a left field pick here, but Goro Gondo from Godzilla Vs Biollante. That's the kind of name you give a guy who stares down Godzilla, at eye level with him no less, and shoots him in the face with a bazooka. Honorable mention: Lawrence Talbot, mostly because now we've got an iconic werewolf named "Larry"
Saw this as a kid (around 10 years old) as it premiered on tv and loved it. The theme song was awesome. I crafted a home-made crossbow after this that shot clothesline pins. Helped my friend make one too so we could go "Dinosaur hunting."
3:39 Dear God... I remember seeing this movie on TV as a kid, Especially that scene in which the man get’s stomped on by a T-Rex. I always thought this was a made for TV movie and not a full theatrical release film.
It ended up on TV first, at least in the US. I also remember eagerly anticipating this movie as a kid, and not being totally disappointed. It is a movie, and does have dinosaurs, and you can't take that away from it.
"You DING-DONG!!!" As famous great white hunters go, I still think Thrust pales in comparison to film's worst offender: the (admittedly ironic) total racist big game hunter in 'House of the Wolf Man'. It's hard to think of a character name as good as Maston Thrust, though. Simon Phoenix is pretty damn cool, though. Wait: Mason Storm. Because Steven Seagal is Mason Storm, and Mason Storm is hard to kill. I'll never get that trailer out of my head, will I?
3:41-3:44 Fun fact: paleontologists have determined that T. Rex's arms were actually very strong. Also, they hypothesized that it had the strongest bite force of any land animal alive.
This had to be Joan Van Ark's springboard performance to get her into the show Dallas or she had IRS troubles. One of the two. Oh, great London After Midnight shirt.
@@julietfischer5056 yes, thank you. I was being a wee bit sarcastic. Countless actors have been in shite movies before they hit it big. Some of those are the best.😉
ah those old 70s 60s era movies where they had the undersea warship with the drill on it, they would show up in a lot of adventure/scifi films, especially in japan.
Dunno which is funnier: Lasty's rubbery skull or the obvious flaw in the Polar Borer's design: with nothing to stabilize the body it's just going to spin like a dryer when that weak-ass drill hits a rock.
In "Merlin's Shop of Wonders" there's a random salesman that just appears in the 3rd act who seems to be from a different movie and introduces himself as Jay Cosgrove. He sells trinkets.
no comment about the fact that somehow a dinosaur got itself buried in the mountain and was there to ambush the t rex when it came out. (was the movie saying dinosaur are long sleeper and it was asleep so long the mountain form around it?
This film did have some decent special effects for the time and I always thought it was a made for TV movie. I never knew it got a theatrical release. When it comes to legendary character names, it's hard to top the Bond girls like Pussy Galore and Holly Goodhead. However, setting the Bond films aside, I would list a couple of classics like Jack Hammer (Defenseless, 1991), Dick Strong (Gigantor animated series) and The Three Stooges classic "Restless Knights" gave us the Count Of Five (Moe) and Baron Of Graymatter (Curly).
When it comes to MALE spy movie characters, there's "Bart Fargo" in DANGER: DEATH RAY. I can never decide whether that name is too flashy or just the opposite, too down-to-earth for a spy.
Effects were by Tsuburaya Productions, which was run by descendants of the late Eiji Tsuburaya, who had created Godzilla and Ultraman. I thought the blue screen or front projection composite shots of the dinosaurs with the live action were very good, for the time and some hold up even now.
Damn It, back in the days during the first Jurrasic Park craze, I saw this crapload as a Kid on TV. You Can imagine my disappointment, after being bombarded every day with clips from Jurrasic Park. But now the movie is pure fun :-)
The kicker? Rankin/Bass was one of the producers of this. You know, the guys behind all those Christmas specials like Rudolph, Frosty, and Santa Claus Is Coming To Town? (And traditionally animated movies like The Last Unicorn and The Hobbit--the latter of which featured the voice of Richard Boone as the dragon Smaug.)
I am sure that, for some older name actors, it was a matter of earning much needed money. However, a lot of them were big science fiction fans who were simply chomping at the bit to star in any alien or monster movie. They just wanted a chance to appear in such a genre.
Don't have to feel too bad for her. She's only a year out from a phenomenally successful run on Dallas and Knott's Landing, which made her a truckload of money and made her quite the TV star.
I loved this film when it was on TV and I love it now for it's cheesiness. The James Bond-style song is GREAT, and I don't find the film takes too much time getting to the dinosaurs simply because it's a fascinatingly sexist. With a name like MASTON THRUST you know it's got to be good!
I remember seeing this on TV as a kid. Being a fan of Saturday morning's Land of the Lost, the phony dinosaurs were fine. But when the T.Rex's rubber head indented and bounced back it was just too much, even for us elementary schoolers.
I remember watching this on TV when it premiered in the 70s. For years I remembered it as being a well-made movie with good dinosaur effects. Needless to say it didn't hold up when I finally saw it again a couple years ago. :(
It's a pity, 'cos Richard Boone was once a fine, fine actor, with a rugged, craggy, laid-back charm. He obviously had something of a drink problem and looks bloated and sclerotic. If you get a chance, take a look at a bizarre little 50s chiller he did called "I Bury The Living". It's got great cinematography and a stunning score, and while the initial plot is unsettling and it builds up to a really nail-biting climax, it then peters out in a ridiculous denoument. And Boone is really good!
This film was co-produced with Tsuburaya Productions, the Japanese TV Studio behind Ultraman. Many of the Monster Roars in this film were re-used from various Ultraman Monsters, and in fact the Dinosaur Suits from this film were re-used for their TV Show “Dinosaur War Izenborg”, a TV Show that Combines Speed Racer with Ultraman, fighting giant demon dinosaurs.
No offense to Richard Boone, but Joan Van Ark had things a little better in her earlier SF movie FROGS, where she got involved with Sam Elliott. You might think of Sam Elliott as "grizzled" just like Boone, but if you see him in that film....
The only really horrifying thing about this film is the idea of sex with an alcoholic, flabby, grotesquely gone to seed Richard Boone. Ew. Ew...ew...ew.
Joint production with Tsuburaya Films, no less. The T-Rex dinosaur suit got re-used in the legendarily goofy Dinosaur War Izenborg tokusatsu /anime show later on, aka Attack of the Super Monsters here in the US.
I like this old Goofy Movie. If you wanna know why he throws away his ( tiny) Gun, he normally goes on hunting Trips with not less then 10 Leaders/ Servants that find his victoms and take care for his Weapons. The Crossbow was ordered by Polar Amazon while the others did not Look.
I saw this when it first aired as a kid and I felt ripped off at how little dinosaur there was in it. But I do love Boone's spot on performance of a cranky old drunk. Because he was at the time.
Saw it when it aired on tv feb 11 1977 only 7 going to be 8 yrs old the triceratops hidden in the mountain scared me silly looking back on it now poor Richard boon probably wondering how did I go from have gun will travel to this?
This is another one I loved as a kid when it was on TV way back when. It was on prime time too if I recall properly! Looking at your review and excerpts, it's probably another one I wouldn't like today for many reasons.
I can't help but love Richard Boone's performance in this movie. You DING-DONG!!

Maston Thrust is an ok name, but the Bruce-sploitation movie Challenge of the Tiger had a main character called "Dick Cannon"
The T-rex vs. the Triceratops is the highlight of the film,and it makes the entire movie watchable. At least for me.
Venom 75 I was literally just about to comment that. That scene really is the only one in this film that I enjoy.
even though it's not a Triceratops more like a blend mostly resembling a Uintatherium
Thrust is famous and rich. I'm sure that helps his attractiveness.
Well I am sure it doesn't hurt.
Just ask Donald Trump.
He really is phenomenally ugly, poor man.
@@ritawing1064 He's no Danny Trejo!.
I loved this movie as a kid. It's almost painful to watch now. Although the absolute best part is the fireplace on his private jet...
Yeah I remember watching this as a kid thinking how fun it was now wow, but for cheese factor still fun in a way!
LOL, a fireplace...
Zap Rowsdower. There is no name in cinematic history more appallingly stupid and yet so perplexingly delightful in cinematic history. _The Final Sacrifice_ anyone?
I wonder if there's beer on the sun?
It is like fine Corinthian leather.
Look, I couldn't find a black tee shirt. Charcoal gray is just going to have to do.
Have gun, will chew scenery.
How is it that Bunta gets killed by the dinosaur while out scouting, and not a single person thinks to ask what happened to him?
I remember just dying to see this when I was seven and then falling asleep midway through on the night it came out, lol. Richard Boone was awesome in Hombre.
I imagine this shuffling, barely threatening T. rex has Jack Horner's seal of approval.
I see Joan Van Ark didn't learn her lesson after appearing in Frogs (1972) , although this might explain why she was so good at portraying sometimes unstable housewife Valene Ewing on Knots Landing for over a decade.
My favorite movie name would have to go to Steve Martin, Raymond Burr's character in Godzilla King of the Monsters
While making the movie, he was very professional. But off camera he was a _wild and crazy guy!_
Smaug! The voice of the hunter guy! it took me a while to recognize it but that's Smaug from the Rankin Bass animated Hobbit movie. Too bad he was in this piece of dreck dinosaur film! Great video as always!
At 6:55, the credits say ©Rankin / Bass.

On the plus side, your Evil Lockdown Facial Hair is looking pretty good.
Don't forget Joan Van Ark.
I quite liked I Bury The Living with him in. At least sort-of, the sound cut-off halfway through on my copy. "This is really quite arty for a cheap American movie!" I thought as he silently ran through the graveyard but then people turned up, mouths moving silently and I saw it was a dud disc!

Oh my God. It's THAT Richard Boone. I was watching and watching thinking "who is he?". I just assumed it was someone I didn't know, but he kept acting like...someone who knew how to act. He was comfortable doing the job.
HOW did I not see that? He was a cowboy James Bond. How could he do this?
menckencynic they paid him.
_"She sleeps with him."_
I like her style! *:D*
“Trash”, the hero from Bronx Warriors & Escape from the Bronx is one of my favorite character names because it was so fitting 😆
Maston Thrust! Love that name but it still comes in 2nd to the name 'Rack Hansen' (immortally portrayed by THE SHAT in Kingdom of The Spiders)
I remember Richard Boone being a better actor. I wonder what happened here.
It was a cash grab! Guess he was phoning it in!
He looks pretty drunk here...
I'm sure a lot of it involves the script which he was given. A bad script destroys everything.
What's really scary? Realizing that Richard Boone was only about 60 when this film was released. He looked a good 10 years older at least. He died of throat cancer at 63. Life wasn't kind to him, and he wasn't kind to life.
@@JohnDrummondPhoto - That might also explain his being in the movie. He needed the money because of his illness.
Denver, the last dinosaur, he's my friend and a whole lot more
Wow, I remember that cartoon. ...and only now am I questioning what "a whole lot more" meant.
Something tells me neither Richard Boone or the screenwriter were told how the T. rex was going to be brought to life.
Also, favorite movie character name? Going with a left field pick here, but Goro Gondo from Godzilla Vs Biollante. That's the kind of name you give a guy who stares down Godzilla, at eye level with him no less, and shoots him in the face with a bazooka.

I remember watching this on TV when I was a kid. The thing I always remembered was the guy getting stepped on by the T Rex lol
The Shirley Bassey ask theme song was sung by the late, great Nancy Wilson!
Saw this as a kid (around 10 years old) as it premiered on tv and loved it. The theme song was awesome. I crafted a home-made crossbow after this that shot clothesline pins. Helped my friend make one too so we could go "Dinosaur hunting."
Well.....it's better than the Matthew(Killed two women in Donegal) Broderick Godzilla.

It was released theatrically in Europe with extra footage. Judging from the review, that extra footage takes place before the expedition begins.
This isn’t how I remember Baby.
Also, how many does it take to be considered the “Last Dinosaur?”
Loved the Dinosaur slapstick moment. Made me laugh. 😄
My most fav movie character name is Biggus Dickus. Such an esteemed and honorable name. I think my follow up is Tim the Enchanter.
"You DING-DONG!!!" As famous great white hunters go, I still think Thrust pales in comparison to film's worst offender: the (admittedly ironic) total racist big game hunter in 'House of the Wolf Man'.

Best name I can think of isn't a character name.
It's actress Moon Bloodgood.
Most. Awesome. Name. EVER.
And her dad's name was Shell. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Bloodgood." "Please, call me Shell." Interesting family naming traditions.
@@richmcgee434 I did not know that. Cool!
She was in Streetfighter-The Legeng of Chung Li, and in Terminator Salvation.
3:41-3:44 Fun fact: paleontologists have determined that T. Rex's arms were actually very strong. Also, they hypothesized that it had the strongest bite force of any land animal alive.
I heard that they were used like meat hooks.
3:12 A bolt action rifle jammed? Um , remove the bad cartridge and shoot the next round.
I KNOW! Since when did High-Power rifles become disposable???
I remember when it first came on TV. We all laughed and had a ball!
Best Good-Bad name? Cypher Raige from 'After Earth'. Trying so hard to sound 'cool' and not 'edgy'. DENIED!
NOT the old "polar valley superheated by a volcano" AGAIN!!!
One of the greatest 1970s ballads ever. 😂😂😂😂😂 Too bad they never made a movie called The Last Passenger Pigeon.
Given that the last passenger pigeon was named Martha, they could throw in a time-traveling Batman and Superman perhaps…
This had to be Joan Van Ark's springboard performance to get her into the show Dallas or she had IRS troubles. One of the two. Oh, great London After Midnight shirt.
Actors at the start of their careers make a lot of movies they'd rather not be known for.
@@julietfischer5056 yes, thank you. I was being a wee bit sarcastic. Countless actors have been in shite movies before they hit it big. Some of those are the best.😉
“Falling down is a really big part of flirtation in this movie”
Well it worked for Austin Powers:
“Oh, I fell over. Oh, I fell over again!” 😄
How could you not discuss the bizarrely oversized Triceratops, inapplicably underground in the Elephant's Graveyard??? (Do Tri-tops hibernate!?!)
The size of the T-Rex varies wildly from scene to scene too.
ah those old 70s 60s era movies where they had the undersea warship with the drill on it, they would show up in a lot of adventure/scifi films, especially in japan.
Atragon, among other aliases. Like many things from that era, it made a glorious return in Godzilla: Final Wars as the Gotengo.
Dunno which is funnier: Lasty's rubbery skull or the obvious flaw in the Polar Borer's design: with nothing to stabilize the body it's just going to spin like a dryer when that weak-ass drill hits a rock.
I'm glad I tripped an fell into the algorithm toward this channel.
Brian O'blivion from Videodrome's a pretty distinctive name.
This is actually a very popular movie in RUclips
Princess Dragonmom from Inframan.
Her pre-English-dub name was almost worse. Demon Princess Elzebub. :)
In "Merlin's Shop of Wonders" there's a random salesman that just appears in the 3rd act who seems to be from a different movie and introduces himself as Jay Cosgrove. He sells trinkets.
That movie was a horror film wrapped in rubbish about Merlin. MST3K gave it the business.
@@julietfischer5056 It was two different, unfinished movies stitched together with some new footage.

I think i spotted Joan Van Ark in the cast there, most famous for her role in the 'Dallas' spin off 'Knots Landing' LOL!
She was in "Frogs"!
Actually her last movie before Dallas, IIRC.
I am sure that, for some older name actors, it was a matter of earning much needed money. However, a lot of them were big science fiction fans who were simply chomping at the bit to star in any alien or monster movie. They just wanted a chance to appear in such a genre.
I think it's clear that KONG SKULL ISLAND ripped this one off.
Richard Boone (Maston Thrust) had to have in his early 60's at least as he was the star if the western series Have Gun Will Travel,
He was 60.
I feel so bad for that actress.
Ditto
Don't have to feel too bad for her. She's only a year out from a phenomenally successful run on Dallas and Knott's Landing, which made her a truckload of money and made her quite the TV star.

Dinosaurs were supposed to have very small brains.

The only really horrifying thing about this film is the idea of sex with an alcoholic, flabby, grotesquely gone to seed Richard Boone. Ew. Ew...ew...ew.
Richard Boone was More Frightening than the Dinosaur in this Movie.
Not even a mention that this was a Rankin/Bass production?
Joint production with Tsuburaya Films, no less. The T-Rex dinosaur suit got re-used in the legendarily goofy Dinosaur War Izenborg tokusatsu /anime show later on, aka Attack of the Super Monsters here in the US.
Nancy Wilson's title song is the most bearable element.

Richard Harrison as Dick Cannon in Challenge of the Tiger.
Poor Richard Boone. He had a good career, minus this dreck.
