"The Valley Of Gwangi" (1969)
-James Franciscus
Plot:
At the end of the 19th century, an American Wild West show, traveling in Mexico, discovers a hidden valley filled with prehistoric beasts.
Phantom's Review: The very definition of the term "weird western". James Franciscus (the poor mans Charlton Heston) stars in this variation on the "King Kong" theme. While this film is nowhere as great as "Kong" It still is a highly entertaining mix of western and monster movie genres.
With great special FX from the legendary Ray Harryhausen. Lots of fun to watch.
