Homo Erectus: A Caveman Comedy

CarradineEvery once in a while an idea for a movie comes along that is so dumb you're just stuck for words. Here comes "Homo Erectus: A Caveman Comedy". The film has an interesting cast with David Carradine, Ali Larter, Tom Arnold, Talia Shire and Hayes MacArthur. All good enough. But the premise of the movie....

The good folks over at Cinescape give us this little synopsis of the project:

The film centers on Ishbo (Rifkin), a philosophical caveman who loves Fardart (Larter), but she only has eyes for Ishbo's studly, dimwitted brother, Thudnik (MacArthur). Carradine and Shire will play Ishbo's parents, while Arnold will play Rog, a gay caveman.
Ummm... yeahhhhhhh. Is it just me? Do some of you think this actually sounds any good? If so... why?

I like Carradine... but only in certain roles, so his presence doesn't really do anything for me in a concept like this one. Oh well... I guess it's like anything else.... we'll just have to wait and see.

Like Carradine? He's always given me that fingernails on the chalkboard feeling no matter what movie he's in or what role he plays. Am I missing something?

Sounds an awful lot like Caveman which starred Ringo Starr.

Is Paulie Shore Producing it?
