Did you think the genre mash-up "Cowboys vs. Aliens" was original and clever? Well about 40 years earlier there was this fun Cowboys vs. Monster flick. Actually it's a story about a bunch of vaqueros who find themselves face-to-face with an allosaurus who's been killing their herd. The allosaurus doesn't actually show up until near the end of the film and a lot of time is spent on the vaqueros trying to figure out what's happening to their herd. That part of the film isn't all that compelling, but once the stop motion allosaurus shows up, this film is a whole heck of a lot of fun! Filmed in Regiscope! and was followed up with "The Valley of Gwangi" by Ray Harryhausen.
