Cavegirl

Plot synopsis:
The main characters are Cavegirl herself and her family Dad, Mum, Big Sis, Gran and Little Bro. Other tribe members feature prominently. Cavegirl is a pretty, feisty individual and a bit of a tomboy although during the series she begins to become interested in boys and many of the storylines involve her becoming more mature. Big Sis is very interested in her appearance and how boys see her. She is also rather shallow. Dad is the stereotypical rugged caveman, although he is protective of his children, and is the chief of the tribe. Mum is a little dozey and Gran is very young at heart and more than a little crazy. Little Brother is curious about the world and often annoys Cavegirl immensely.
In season 2, Dad has left to look for new hunting grounds, and a new character, "Chief", has replaced him. In a flashback episode near the end of the season it was shown that Dad left Mum in charge, but she lost a bet with "The Chief of the Tribe to the North" and the tribes merged to form a larger one.

Review:
Cave Girl is a humorous tongue in cheek romantic comedy that follows the romantic relationship of bumbling modern day Rex and beautiful and sexy pre-historic cave girl Eba.
The movie follows the bumbling Rex through a series of slapstick pranks and mishaps that culminate in his transport 25,000 years back in time to meet and fall in love with the beautiful Eba. And, along the way, Rex becomes a man that saves Eba and the rest of the local clan from cannibals.
This movie is a humorous, and at times poignant, look at the trials, tribulations, opportunities and decisions that young people often face as they come of age.
It starts off fairly decent when Rex (Daniel Roebuck) is caught in the middle of a practical joke and is in the women's locker room with at least 4 topless women.
Good start it my book.Anyhow, on what seems to be some kind of class field trip or something, Rex ends up going back in time by about 25,000 years or so and meets a tribe or family of cavemen (and cavegirls).
This is where he meets Eba (Cynthia Thompson), the cavegirl I assume the title of this movie refers to.
Eba is very hot when compared to the other cavegirls of this era, one of whom is a hefty old heifer who can't keep her breasts covered around Rex. Naturally, Rex falls for Eba and cheesy 80's hilariousness ensues.I can compare this movie to Teen Wolf, Weird Science or movies like that, although not nearly as good..
its a typical z rate movie with jokes that are so rubbish they are funny.
it should be a cult film :))) Eba is beautiful and the cave men try to be funny, most people probably wont laugh but i found them class especially the chief and the woman with black scraggy hair.
A 20th century loser finds love in the past with an adorable blonde prehistoric babe.I'm sure that the writers of Cavegirl intended their film to be nothing more than a charming lightweight sex comedy, but that's not quite how it comes across to me: I see supposedly sympathetic nerd Rex (Daniel Roebuck) as an opportunistic sexual predator, taking advantage of beautiful child-like primitive Eba (Cynthia Thompson), 'grooming' her from the word go.
I'm not blaming the guy for trying his luck—after all, Eba is smoking hot, legal, and available—but the sleazy, rather forceful manner in which he pursues her just is is just a little wrong when you think about it.So best not think about it then...Instead, just switch your brain off and enjoy the silliness and dated 80s trappings, which includes a fair amount of nudity, lots of unsophisticated slapstick humour (much of which comes courtesy of the other members of Eba's tribe), the obligatory 80s soft rock ballad, and a predictably sappy ending in which Rex's persistence pays off (the lucky bugger!) and the once pitiful nerd proves his love by rescuing Eba and her tribe from cannibals.5.5 out of 10, happily rounded up to 6 for the lovely Cynthia Thompson..
Together they get involved in spectacularly boring encounters with wild bears and big cats (what, no dinosaurs?) while the nerd tries to teach his new primitive girlfriend English and have his way with her, but just failing every time.
Can our weedy hero use his 20th century know-how to save the day and return to his own time, or is he doomed to a life of eating plants and sleeping on rocks?The opening five minutes sets the tone of this soft-core sleaze-fest, with a bunch of topless busty beauties chasing the doofus out of their changing-room in super slow mo.
There are some laughs to be had in this movie but the best thing going for it is the nudity.
The best parts are at the beginning and the end but nudity is present throughout the movie mostly in the form of flashing breasts or bathing in a river.This movie is now on DVD and  I must say, the video quality is crisp and clear and is presented in widescreen format.
In his first leading role, actor Daniel Roebuck ("River's Edge", "The Fugitive") plays Rex, a geeky high school student who's constantly being mocked and made a victim of pranks.
Due to some sort of miracle involving jet plane tests and a weird crystal inside the cave, Rex is magically transported back to caveman times.
Here he meets the girl of his dreams, the sweet, bubbly and naive blonde Eba (Cynthia Thompson).
Roebuck is good (and a good sport when it comes to being the butt of jokes), but it's the charming and absolutely lovely Ms. Thompson (who sadly died much too young) who is the main reason to watch.
You won't be able to take your eyes off of her, and she's enormously appealing, to boot.There is some well executed aerial photography to begin the movie, and unlike most Crown International productions, almost all of the credits are saved for the final few minutes.
Writer / producer / director / cinematographer David Oliver looked like he was working with a pretty low budget, but his movie hits the ground running and clocks in at a fairly painless 82 minutes.Six out of 10..
This is a woefully unfunny film, with none of the 'so-bad-it's-entertaining' elements which similar films sometimes provide.Story follows Rex, a geeky high-school student ( who looks far too old ) who is an incredibly annoying character, totally without charm.
Here he meets and falls in love with a pre-Baywatch, tanned, buxom, curly blonde-haired Charlie's Angel in a bikini.I almost invariably find something to like in these 1980's teen comedies, but 'Cave Girl' is dire from start to finish.
They only serve to pad out the narrative which runs out of ideas after 20 minutes and wanders aimlessly around until things stagger to a faltering conclusion.When a fart joke and a sight-gag featuring blowing up a condom, provoke not the slightest response you know its not looking good.
Just when things seem to have reached their lowest, new depths are plunged into with a dire love song on the soundtrack, as Rex loses Eba and wanders around forlornly trying to find her.This really is rubbish - the only features with any merit are the video cover featuring the scantily clad Eba posing with a club over her shoulder; the early scene when Rex goes into the wrong changing rooms and is chased out by a group of topless girls; and the brief couple of seconds when Eba finally gets her 'thrupenny bits' out.Rex makes an immediate entry into my hit-list of the most irritating characters in film..
Let's admit at the start that Cynthia Thompson is a pretty girl - she has a very genuine looking smile, a nice figure, and you get to see her boobs.That's about it, folks.Rex, who is supposed to be a sympathetic character is never, at any point in the proceedings even slightly sympathetic - his character is badly written, directed even worse, and appallingly acted.The film is loaded with humorous routines which aren't.
I note that someone has already mentioned the hilarious condom-inflating gag, but how could you forget the hysterically unfunny edible shaving cream routine which was stretched out for what seemed like half my life, getting less and less funny with each passing hour-long second than it wasn't to start off with.Take my word for it, if this comes on then find something else to do - doing ANYTHING with your time is a better use of it than using it to watch Cavegirl..
Normally, I'd be a big fan of the time-travelling and 80s odd-adventures teen comedies, but this was just plain insulting.
And, although it was devoid of most anything I would consider funny, there was no shortage of your standard cheap 80s T & A, including playful locker room romp with our geek and oft-pranked hero.Daniel Roebuck, who never seemed to have an eye for good material (or may have never been offered much of it, with the exception of The River's Edge), plays our nerdy protagonist.
A teen brain, he joins his classmates on some archaeological field trip and, thanks to his frequent taunters, loses the group and inadvertently stumbles upon an Air Force experiment which sends him back in time to the age of the cave man.
Of course, already being amateur hour to begin, he finds a cave girl (complete with cave girl bikini ensemble and shiny white teeth) and does what anyone would do if suddenly sent back in time -- he teaches her the English commands that would get him laid.Bottom line: if it's the nudity you get off on, then you'll likely be satisfied with even watching this crap on mute.
When the social outcast (READ: nerd) vanishes from a school field trip via an unexplained military experiment and finds himself in prehistory, the movie loses all logic and redeeming qualities.
Atypical misadventures with Our Hero attempting to score with the beautiful (and amazingly well-groomed) Cave Girl.
Watch it on a self-induced Bad Movie Night or walk on by like I should have done for the 1,000 and first time..
CAVEGIRL is an awful concoction mixing the usual '80s high school comedy hijinks with a Stone Age adventure.
The main character is an overweight creepy guy who enjoys spying on women, and he ends up being transported back to prehistoric times by a secret military experiment.
There he meets and falls in love with a beautiful blonde cave girl and the two have various adventures as they evade grizzly bears and cannibal tribes.This really is hopeless, barrel scraping stuff, and yet there's a little of the so-bad-it's-good vibe going on.
Daniel Roebuck (THE RIVER'S EDGE) is awful as the uncharismatic lead, although buxom starlet Cindy Ann Thompson (NOT OF THIS EARTH) is a little better as the vacuous cave girl and at least gets into the spirit of the thing.Everywhere the paucity of the budget is apparent, with rubbish fur bikinis and a general cheap-looking shooting style out in a quarry somewhere.
Goofy back in time teen sex comedy attempt....
1st watched 9/13/2014 – 3 out of 10 (Dir-David Oliver): *review based on 85 minute VHS version* Goofy back in time teen sex comedy attempt about a high school student, played by Daniel Roebuck, who is fond of the prehistoric times but looked at as a geek to the girls.
The class takes a field trip to a mine and the combination of a glowing crystal and a mistaken government missile test hitting the cave amazingly transports the student – Rex – to the cave people times.
A sexy young cave girl, played by Cindy Ann Thompson, wakes him up the next morning and he spends the next half hour of the movie trying to have sex with her while they teach each other their languages.
There are a couple of slightly funny scenes – one particular one where the cave men try to destroy a flashlight, and a slight chuckle occurs when Rex asks the cavegirl to sit on his face - juvenile humor, of course, but brought an unexpected response from me.
It is a blatant attempt by Crown Pictures to pander to the teen audience even though the movie is Rated "R" with the theatrical trailer showing all of the nude scenes!!
This is typical of the 80's where the titillation takes center stage and the movie falls flat on it's faceskip this one unless you're interested in Cindy Ann..
Alas, this was not the case and sadly the audience are subjected to an awful, bumbling romance between Roebuck and Thompson whilst the other cave people, mildly amusing at first, simply get really tiresome.
I have to admit, Cavegirl did, unintentionally, have me laughing at some points at how bad everything was and how the plot went from bad to worst but this is not good comedy!
His performance is charmless and devoid of any talent.The worst film I have ever seen and the only film I've seen that has no redeeming features whatsoever, avoid Cavegirl at all costs unless you are a bad movie fan or there's a big group of people who can all join in on the mockery..
This movie actually starts out with some laughter as high school antics ridicule a nerd.
The nerd travels back in time and encounters prehistoric cavemen and cavewomen.
B-movie producers Crown International Pictures seemed to churn out a lot of comedies in the 80's.
Like most, Cave Girl has a title and cover that suggests it might be decent fun at the very least but in practice this is yet another laugh-free zone from good old Crown.
It tells the story of a nerdy anthropology student called Rex who touches a coloured rock while out on a field trip and is somehow or other subsequently sent back in time to the prehistoric era.
Almost immediately he meets cute cave girl and then more stuff happens.You would think that an 80's time-travelling teen-comedy would at the very least have a few ideas up its sleeve.
Well, you'd be wrong in this case as despite the potential in the set-up, all this one more or less boils down to is our protagonist trying to teach the cave girl English in order to facilitate having sex with her.
Not only that but in spite of his character being a high school student, the actor that played him looked like he was pushing forty.
Needless to say, the antics of this individual are somewhat alienating and don't generate anything approaching empathy.The film itself is a half-hearted sex comedy at best, with an early scene in a girl's locker room that did at least provide boobs which is never exactly ever going to be a bad production value.
The prehistoric set-up is the only thing that really provides any interest but even that is pretty underwhelming on the whole, with boring cave people and little in the way of much else, aside from an encounter with a tribe of cannibals, which did enliven things a bit I have to say, although even that wasn't exactly very interesting.
For a prehistoric comedy, you'd really be better off watching the cult movie Eegah (1962) or even the more recent California Man (1992); neither of those are exactly stellar stuff but both are marginally better than Cave Girl..
Cyntia Thompson and Ringo should collaborate and make a really great prehistoric movie.
If not for the nude scenes and and a few other things, children may have very well made this movie a hit.
Too bad it ended up on the all time worst list.
It is also too bad Cynthia Ann Thompson has not done a lot more in her career.
Bumbling nerdy high school anthropology student Rex (a winningly goofy performance by Daniel Roewbuck) travels 25,000 years back in time.
Rex not only stumbles across a wacky tribe of primitive Neanderthals, but also meets and falls in love with sweet and beautiful cave babe Ebba (delightfully played with disarming radiance and innocence by adorable blonde sprite Cynthia Thompson).
Rex teaches Ebba English, makes various clumsy attempts at seducing her, and saves the tribe from a nasty rival group of savage cannibals.
Roebuck and Thompson make for appealing leads; their central romance is cute, funny, and even quite charming.
Rex is a nerdy, picked on high school student.
The teacher claims Einstein said time travel is possible and the atom bomb happened, and a helicopter is flying overhead, so Rex goes back into time and meets a cute blonde and a much of stereotyped dumb cavemen that don't even know zug-zug.The humor didn't make it.
"Cave Girl" (1985) is a movie that just about everyone will either really hate or avidly love.
I loved it – but then, as most of you know, I'm a sucker for movies in which the bungling, overweight, getting-on-in-years comedian ends up with the really luscious eighteen, or nineteen year-old girl with the blonde hair, the beautiful voice and the gorgeous breasts.
The girl who really likes Dan and totally overlooks his many faults, is the ultra-lovely Cynthia Thompson.
"Cave Girl" is a movie about a dork who goes back in time when he enters a cave on a school excursion.The movie spends very little time in the present day; only enough to establish that the guy is a dork, and get a quick topless scene out of the way (featuring Michelle Bauer).The budget obviously didn't cover extensive use of a high school or even many other actors.
The only other students we see are the trio of topless girls, who of course only do that one scene, and then a small, faceless group of people who play tricks on the dork.The movie can't wait to go back in time where it won't cost as much, but this is where it gets boring.
A high school as a setting works in better movies because there is life there.
The desert, not so much, or at least not so much when filmed as badly as b-grade teen comedies are.When our hero meets the cave girl of the title we see where the rest of the budget went.
Not even the babe makes it worth watching, and there's surprisingly little nudity from her, just a quick topless scene..
They also produced some horrible comedies- Ishtar, The Pirate Movie, Rhinestone, ETC.
It is the story of Rex (Daniel Roebuck), an annoying loser who travels back in time, and meets an attractive cave girl named Eba (Cynthia Thompson).
The reason being Rex is an annoying jerk who's so desperate that he sexually harasses Eba. The movie is not even close to funny.
It's an ugly and aggressive film, not realizing it has no potential but instead thinking all of their nasty jokes are so funny.
There's cave girls farting, Rex touching Eba's boobs for no reason, and cavemen thinking up the wheel.
