Unbelievably awful
Added 5/10/2009
Back when movies still had a sense of innocence Roger Corman made an interesting science fiction film called
Teenage Caveman. It was a typically cheap production for American International Pictures but it did benefit
from some interesting ideas and a surprise ending which pre-dates Planet of the Apes by a decade. The new version barely uses anything from the original other than the title. It is one of the longest 100 minutes I have
ever spent watching a movie. There is nothing, I repeat, NOTHING even remotely redeeming about this film.
I found a copy for $3 and even then I felt ripped off after I had watched it. One star is too kind a rating.

Tons of gore and nudity. Interested?

Under the official banner of a B movie Larry Clark takes his obsession with teen sex to a whole new level. Teenage Caveman takes place sometime in the future after a devastating storm wipes out humanity. The storm was an act of God who wanted to punish humans for giving into their sexual curiosity. The few survivors live in caves. In one particular cave lives David (Andrew Keegan), his girlfriend Sarah (Tara Subkoff) and a few of their friends. David's father is the tribal leader who likes to have sex with his son's friends. He believes that he is doing God's will by raping the young members of his tribe but when he tries it with Sarah David kills him. David is sentenced to death but before his punishment is carried out his friends rescue him and the teens make a break for it. They travel for days until they stumble upon an intact city that they later find out is run by solar energy. They get caught up in a sandstorm and when they come to they have been taken in by a young couple named Neil (Richard Hillman) and Judith (Tiffany Limos). Neil and Judith introduce the kids to punk rock and teach them how to drink and do lines of coke. What they delight in showing their new house guests however are the pleasures of sex which they demonstrate by inviting the kids to join them for a group bath. After the kids are cleaned up Judith leads them all in an orgy. For some of the kids they think they've found paradise with all the constant sex but David and Sarah are suspicious of their new leaders. They refrain from the sexual activities and David learns the truth about Neil and Judith. They are survivors of medical experiments that resulted in them becoming genetic mutants. It ain't all bad though since they can never die and have the power to self heal. The reason they are so eager to have sex with the kids is so that they can spread their mutation. They want everyone to be like them and once they have infected this group they plan on infecting the cave where they came from. This is the bottom of the barrel for Clark and that is saying something. There is so much gratuitous nudity and sex that this film safely qualifies as soft core. I'm not complaining about that however when you have someone as sexy as Tiffany Limos running around naked constantly. What I am complaining about is that that is the only redeeming part of the film. There isn't a good story to be told here and you won't find one decent performance from anyone. If you just wanna see some barely legal teens getting it on then this one's for you. The opening scene sets the tone for this whole film when Clark, playing one of the elders of the tribe,dies when one of the teens impales him with a spear because he was tired of being told what to do. This murder results in the Clark character gaining martyr status in the tribe. As the camera pans from his dead body it stops to catch a glimpse of a signpost which reads "no skateboarding." Even in an apocalyptic world Clark still finds a way for these kids to be violent , sex crazed outlaws.

Buyer Beware!!!
Added 8/8/2008
Beware! I just got my copies of both "I Was A teenage Caveman" and "The Day The World Ended" (both "Creature Features"). I haven't even watched them yet and I'm already PO'ed. Both came in clear snap cases with NO COVERS / NO ARTWORK!! As a collector, I am APPALLED.
Inside the package there is a note from a company called kellie@norampartners.com which says, "NorAm sells over 750,000 used DVDs a year that are overstock from national retailers. We put the DVD's in new durable clear cases so you can see the DVD inside, and we list them as VERY GOOD, clearly saying in the seller notes the condition as "NO ARTWORK, NEW CLEAR CASE". We make every effort to make this known before our customers make a purchase, but sometimes the notes get overlooked. We are sorry if you accidentally purchased this without artwork. Rest assured you have a great quality, original studio release."
Little consolation in that you don't get this note until your DVDs ARRIVE!
So I went back to the ads for both movies. There is NOTHING listed under "Condition" anywhere to be found in the actual ads for either movie. So I decided to walk through purchasing another copy under the list of "used" sellers. I found the seller I purchased them from and sure enough there is a small notation about it JUST AS YOU ARE ABOUT TO CLICK THE PURCHASE BUTTON! You might miss it? You will DEFINITELY miss it! Why do you think they have to print up this note with each package sent out? And you know what? It's a 4-color 2-sided note on glossy 6 point stock - the same as a COVER! They could have RE-PRINTED the covers for the same amount of printing these lame "excuses".
AND... at the VERY LEAST, they could give you a link with the cover art so that YOU could download it and print it yourself.
Just... BEWARE... and look closely before you press that "purchase" button.
