Hector Servadac (dashing Cesare Danova) and Micheal Denning (likable Sean McClory) are about to participate in a duel when they suddenly thrust by a comet into an alternate universe where they are forced to set aside their differences in order to survive in this strange and dangerous new world.
Writer/director Edward Bernds relates the enjoyable story at a steady pace and maintains an engaging sincere tone throughout. The leads play off each other well and display a nice natural chemistry. The tight and eventful script delivers a wealth of cheerful $1.50 thrills such as savage cavemen, ferocious giant lizard beasts, hostile woolly mammoths, albino cave mutants, a volcanic eruption (of course), and even a big rubbery spider. Moreover, there's some mighty delectable distaff eye candy in the fetching forms of beauteous blonde Joan Staley as the feisty Deena and comely brunette Danielle De Metz as the sweet Nateeta. The cheap special effects and obvious copious use of stock footage from other films both give this picture a certain endearingly rinky-dink charm. A fun little flick.
