DVD Description
When TJ Breckenridge (Gina Golan) hears of a forbidden Mexican valley where mythical creatures are rumoured to exist, she and members of her Wild West show attempt to capture something which she can exhibit at her show. They are amazed to find a huge Allosaurus which the locals have named Gwangi, or "Terrible One"! After a titanic struggle, Gwangi is captured and returned to their camp. The giant beast escapes and terrorizes the local population, who flee to the nearby cathedral – but when this refuge proves insufficient, the townspeople have a dramatic plan to bring down Gwangi once and for all.

Produced during the 1960s, when Ray Harryhausen’s powers were at their height, the most memorable scene from The Valley Of Gwangi (when TJ’s men use ropes to subdue Gwangi) took weeks to film, as every rope held by the real actors had to be perfectly aligned with those on the animated model.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining Boy's Own Adventure, 5 Feb 2004
Next to "Jason and the Argonauts" and "Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger", this is quite possibly one of Ray Harryhausen's best movies. The stop-motion dinosaurs are amazing and Gwangi himself, an Allosaurus, is actually quite scary in the way he moves (Watch it yourself and see). Don't expect deep characterization though. Quite enjoyable.

4.0 out of 5 stars South of the border - down Mexico way, 10 Jun 2006
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
It was the turn of the 20 th century. Champ Connors (Richard Carlson) was putting on a rodeo show. Returning to make a horse deal and to see the girl (Gila Golan) that he did not realize he love was Tuck Kirby (James Franciscus.) Looks like more than one man loved her. However she had a "show must go on" attitude.

Can anyone win her heart? Meanwhile down in the valley, the valley so low, in an environment that was untouched for millennium Gwangi waits. Gypsies warn us not to go there.

We get a good history lesson as many people do not realize that the horse originated in the Americas and migrated to Asia.

There are some staking similarities between this cowboy love story and King Kong. The only major difference is Gwangi (Ray Harryhausen creation) would eat anything or anybody.

5.0 out of 5 stars They should have listened to the wise old woman., 13 Mar 2009
By C. R. "llama worm" (harrogate UK) - See all my reviews
If a wise old blind woman curses your expidition, you should probably wash your hair that night instead.

Fantastic animation, lots of action, a classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars good stuff
This is a fantastic film that just doesn't age. In fact to producers of 'Jurassic Park 3' looked at this film for ideas. Well worth the money.
