Review of Eegah (1962) by Allan C — 19 Feb 2018

I never thought I'd say it, but "Encino Man" did it better. A group of teenagers come across a caveman and drama ensues. Richard Kiel, best known as the James Bond villain Jaws, plays the titular 7'2" caveman, Eegah.

Kiel goes on a rampage smashing cars and chasing teenagers. As you might expect from a film titled "Eegah," it's not a very good movie. Filmed in Bronson Canyon, where other notable turkey "Robot Monster" was filmed, "Eegah" is an indefensibly bad film, but I will say I was quite entertained on a so-bad-it's-good level of entertainment, particularly anytime Kiel got to rampage or was distracted by shiny object from his female captives.

It also didn't help the quality of the film when nearly all of the dialogue had to be dubbed because sound engineer on the film failed to record most of the original dialogue. Overall, only watch this turkey if you're in the mood for some Ed Wood levels of bad cinema entertainment.
