Finally saw this 1981 film in widescreen. I wish Apocalypto had been this insightful and humorous throughout. Not a lot of classic lines so you might as well listen to a commentary. Ron Perlman's first role, chosen because he required less time in the makeup chair! Hilarious bit where he drops a rock on a fellow Neanderthal's head - the first practical joke. Great MacGuffin too, the bone fire carrier thing. Though the tribe chose their bald fire tender poorly.
Avoid the 1986 Clan of the Cave Bear, occurring 50,000 years later, featuring Daryl Hannah as a sexy feminist Cro-Magnon mathematics prodigy / huntress / physician's assistant.
