On the ocean floor off a Caribbean Island, an American engineer building a new harbor sets off a blast that uncovers the frozen bodies of a Brontosaurus, a Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Neanderthal man. The dinosaurs are hauled ashore by the construction crew, who are unaware that the giants are actually alive, in a state of suspended animation. Struck by lightning during a fierce tropical storm, the monsters awaken and prowl the island jungles. Also restored to life is the cave man, an amiable brute who joins an island boy in a series of wacky misadventures. (forgalmazó hivatalos szövege)

Quite a pleasant flick, I can’t say a bad word about it. Admittedly, the stop-motion animation of the lizards isn't of a very high standard (and can't compare to Harryhausen's), but the widescreen cinemascope format and bright colours favour the visuals, and the storyline isn't completely rubbish either, though of course it doesn't avoid a number of genre clichés. The humorous side is taken care of by an re-animated proto-human, confronted with the achievements of modern times (fridge, mirror, stove), the eye is delighted by nice locations, a duel of a predatory dinosaur with a brontosaurus or an excavator. Perhaps only the overuse of not very good rear projection can be reproached, and the interior jungle environment with artificial flora also occasionally lacks realism. Judging by the title and the year, I was expecting a cheap B-movie and what I got was an almost high-budget show that can be recommended with a clear conscience.
