Creatures the World Forgot is a 1971 production by Hammer Films, the last in their series of "caveman" (or cave girl) movies that started with One Million Years B.C.. The film foregoes the anachronistic dinosaurs of its predecessors in favour of a more grounded and realistic setting.
Examples:
- Attempted Rape: Rool tries to rape the mute girl but she escapes.
- Deus ex Machina: A lightning strike saves the mute girl from being sacrificed.
- Fur Bikini: As with the previous Hammer caveman films, this is how the women dress when they're wearing tops at all.
- Human Sacrifice: The tribe initially wants to sacrifice the mute girl.
- Humans Are White: A remarkably white cast of characters for a movie apparently set in stone age Africa. Possibly justified given the time because "cro-magnons" (now simply called early modern humans) were thought to resemble modern Scandinavians but it didn't make much sense back then either.
- National Geographic Nudity: A lot of casually topless women are shown throughout.
- Never Trust a Title: There really aren't any creatures the world forgot in this movie. All of the animals that appear onscreen are still with us today.
