a scientific expedition in a cavern never returns. after viewing some stock footage of ONE MILLION, BC (1940, and you know it's more lizards pretending to be dinosaurs) and some odd dinosaur puppets, more scientists head down the same caverns, where they discover some odd bat-people.

my DVD of this claims English subs (even when you push the button) but none exist. my Spanish is decent enough to make out most of it though. the puppet dinosaurs are very interesting, and at least try to look like the beasts.

i was told this was really an "all-star" cast, though i have no way of verifying that.

Actually the "Scientific expedition" in the beggining is only a tour group.Those are actual caverns that are a tourist attraction and only two people get killed.The rest make it out alive.And yes this is indeed an all star cast,from Kitty de Hoyos to Javier Solis,who has a rather "unexpected" death in the film,as the billing makes it appear he was the film's hero.To the best of my knowledge this was his only sci-fi film.He died very young after an operation and drank water against the doctor;s orders while recovering in the hospital which is what sadly ended his life too soon.

I once saw this movie for sale at Tower Records for ten bucks. I would've bought it had I know it had dinosaurs in it. I only saw the bat men on the cover.
