Review of The Valley of Gwangi (1969) by Brad R — 26 May 2011
THE VERDICT?
Another piece of stop-go animation magic from special effects legend Ray Harryhausen!
Cowboys Vs Dinosaurs in this kitschey action film. Not the best of them, but remembered by many as one of the more iconic special effects films of its time. A clear influence on many later movies (definately including Jurassic Park), the effects are still admirable today and credit MUST be given for the sheer effort and perfectionism put into animating Gwangi and pals. Makes for satisfying Sunday afternoon viewing if nothing else. Hope one day I can show it to kids of my own and they'll enjoy it as much as I did!
