Member Rating:

When a traveling Wild West show comes to town, the natives are frightened by a one-foot-tall horse that is believed to be a bad omen. The superstitious natives try to return the horse to The Valley of Gwangi to avert disaster. Tuck (James Franciscus) and T.J. (Gila Golan) try to help archaeologist Bromley (James Naismith) find the tiny equine in the valley, but they unleash a prehistoric giant monster in the process in this implausible adventure feature. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

This movie was better than I remembered it. Although the first part of the movie is not very exciting as you wait for the dinosaurs to appear, once they do the movie really takes off. The stop motion effects are as good as Harryhausen ever created. There is a lot of fun and action in the scenes in which the cowboys try to capture a T-Rex. Added to that is interesting scenery and a fine Western score similar to the score from "The Big Country." This is much better than Cowboys versus Aliens.

I rented this on a nostalgic whim. I saw it years ago but this time around was not a revelation. As for the special effects I think Jason and the Argonauts was the pinnicle of RH's effects arsenal and a far more compelling story but for anyone who enjoyed this I would recomment the above mentioned film.

Review 315: too similar to King Kong not to be it's western ripoff/retelling as it starts with Wild West show folk finding their way out to an even wilder rodeo where this showman's talents may still be put to use, alongside 36 years in stop motion advancements.
