Cavegirl

I've recently embarked on a B-movie kick and found this dog in the sci-fi section at my local video store. I had walked by it a thousand times before and- as it turned out- with good reason. Initially, it appeared to be just another early '80s teen skinfest. If that is your favorite genre, the locker room scene will not disappoint. However, it also constitutes the high point of the film. When the social outcast (READ: nerd) vanishes from a school field trip via an unexplained military experiment and finds himself in prehistory, the movie loses all logic and redeeming qualities. If it had any to begin with. Atypical misadventures with Our Hero attempting to score with the beautiful (and amazingly well-groomed) Cave Girl. Watch it on a self-induced Bad Movie Night or walk on by like I should have done for the 1,000 and first time.

Rex is a nerdy, picked on high school student. The class goes on a field trip to a mine. The teacher claims Einstein said time travel is possible and the atom bomb happened, and a helicopter is flying overhead, so Rex goes back into time and meets a cute blonde and a much of stereotyped dumb cavemen that don't even know zug-zug. The humor didn't make it. It was 80's style adolescent humor which is really bad by today's standards. Guide: No swearing. Nudity (Michelle Bauer, Jasae, Pamela Powers, Susie Lynch, Susanne Mierisch, Cynthia Thompson, Cynthia Rullo)

Let's admit at the start that Cynthia Thompson is a pretty girl - she has a very genuine looking smile, a nice figure, and you get to see her *. That's about it, folks. Rex, who is supposed to be a sympathetic character is never, at any point in the proceedings even slightly sympathetic - his character is badly written, directed even worse, and appallingly acted. The film is loaded with humorous routines which aren't. Let's smash the torch to bits, that'll be pretty funny. Actually, no, it won't. I note that someone has already mentioned the hilarious condom-inflating gag, but how could you forget the hysterically unfunny edible shaving cream routine which was stretched out for what seemed like half my life, getting less and less funny with each passing hour-long second than it wasn't to start off with. Take my word for it, if this comes on then find something else to do - doing ANYTHING with your time is a better use of it than using it to watch Cavegirl.

There are some laughs to be had in this movie but the best thing going for it is the nudity. The best parts are at the beginning and the end but nudity is present throughout the movie mostly in the form of flashing breasts or bathing in a river. This movie is now on DVD and I must say, the video quality is crisp and clear and is presented in widescreen format. Also included is the trailer.

i stumbled across this film late one Saturday night on sky and decided to watch it. i found it to be so rubbish that i loved it. its a typical z rate movie with jokes that are so rubbish they are funny. the hero Rex is supposed to be 18 years old or so and I'm sure the actor playing him is about 40!!!! i would ignore all the rubbishing comments and watch it. it should be a cult film :))) Eba is beautiful and the cave men try to be funny, most people probably wont laugh but i found them class especially the chief and the woman with black scraggy hair. the acting is absolute 3rd rate the dialogue is so rubbish it makes for essential viewing. don't take my word for it though find out for yourself by watching it :)

Cave Girl is a humorous tongue in cheek romantic comedy that follows the romantic relationship of bumbling modern day Rex and beautiful and sexy pre-historic cave girl Eba. The movie follows the bumbling Rex through a series of slapstick pranks and mishaps that culminate in his transport 25,000 years back in time to meet and fall in love with the beautiful Eba. And, along the way, Rex becomes a man that saves Eba and the rest of the local clan from cannibals. Eventually, though, Rex and Eba must face reality. Will Rex return to his own time, where Eba cannot possible fit in, or will he stay and build a life with Eba and the rest of the tribe. This movie is a humorous, and at times poignant, look at the trials, tribulations, opportunities and decisions that young people often face as they come of age. Well worth a look.
