Caveman (1981), starring Ringo Starr and Sloth from Goonies

Caveman is a comedy film from 1981 that stars Ringo Starr as Atouk, a shy caveman who is in love with Lana, but is prevented from being with her due to the rule of Tonda. The film follows Atouk as he goes on a small excursion, meets new friends, and learns caveman wisdom, all while trying to win Lana's affections and avoid being eaten by dinosaurs. The film is known for its physical comedy and use of a caveman-language vocabulary. Despite being well-received by some audiences, the film was not a critical success.

Caveman also stars John Matuszak as Tonda, Barbara Bach as Lana, Avery Schreiber as Ock, Dennis Quaid as Lar, Jack Gilford as Gog, and Shelley Long as Tala. The film is set in 1,000,000 B.C. and follows Atouk as he is kicked out of his tribe for his affection for Lana and his inability to forage for food. After being banished, Atouk meets Lar, who is injured and unable to walk, and the two form a friendship. Together, they rescue Gog and Tala from a tar pit and defeat a dinosaur, ultimately returning to Atouk's tribe and confronting Tonda in order to win Lana's affections. Despite its comedic nature, some audiences found certain scenes in the film to be disturbing or unsettling.


Caveman (1981) review by Decker Shado

Caveman was directed by Carl Gottlieb and was produced by George Folsey Jr. and Jon Peters. It was released in 1981 and received mixed reviews from critics. While some found the film to be amusing and entertaining, others found it to be predictable and lacking in depth. The film was not a financial success, though it has since gained a cult following.

Despite its mixed reception, Caveman has been referenced in popular culture and has inspired parodies and tributes. The film's use of a made-up caveman language has been imitated in other works, and the film's physical comedy style has been cited as an influence on other comedic films and television shows.

Overall, Caveman is a lighthearted comedy that relies on physical humor and a made-up language to tell its story. While it may not be a critical success, it has gained a cult following and has been referenced in popular culture.
