Valley Of The Dragons Movie Review
An Irishman and a Frenchman are having a duel...this sounds like the beginning of a joke (and, as it turns out, it kinda is), but is actually the start of the 1961 film Valley of the Dragons. Before the bullets can fly, a strong wind picks up, a comet arrives, and the next thing we know, the enemies are in a strange land filled with cavemen, "dinosaurs", and hot chicks.
They're into Italians Frenchmen
This film is, in a very loose way, based on the Jules Verne story Off On A Comet, and is beyond absurd. Much of it is the modern-day man trying to communicate with the cavemen, which is as boring as it sounds. To make things even better, the men get split up, so we get not one, but two groups trying to find ways to talk to each other. The struggles the groups have are not just limited to comets, however--we also have exploding volcanoes, superimposed lizards and alligators doubling as dinosaurs, and neanderthals.
They, for some reason, look like this
After suffering through a lot of nothing happening, the two groups do meet up to do battle with the "giant dinosaurs"--this includes poking the lizard with sticks--before an erupting volcano and some rocks finish the dinosaurs off, and we get an end scene that features the men kissing a couple of the women. There's really not a lot to see in Valley of the Dragons--thankfully, I had Svengoolie to get me through those hours.
