The Warner Archive Collection has just announced that they will release Hammer's WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH on Blu-ray this February. The 1970 film will be remastered in 1080p from a new HD remaster and will be presented in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio with a DTS HD-Master English 2.0 Mono track and English SDH subtitles. The great news is that this will be the full 100-minute International Theatrical release version which contains all the nudity and violence missing from the 96-minute U.S. G-rated version.

After Raquel Welch conquered the screen in ONE MILLION YEARS B.C., Hammer Studios followed up with WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH, written and directed by Val Guest (THE QUATERMASS XPERIMENT) and based on a story by J.G. Ballard (Crash). Victoria Vetri stars as Sanna, rescued from ritual sacrifice by Tara (Robin Hawdon), a member of a rival tribe. Her survival coincides with the mysterious formation of a new “fire” in the sky: the moon! Sanna’s old tribe blames her for this affront to the sun; Sanna flees their wrath and Tara follows. Their shared adventures loom as large as the giants who once ruled the earth! The disc will include an original theatrical trailer in HD and is expected to retail for under $20. Mario Nascibene scored the film.

My big question is: will "those 2 scenes" be intact in this edition?

Warners Bros. included this statement with their announcement:

ADVISORY: This edition of WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH is the original International Theatrical release version which contains nudity.

Those scenes were also on the DVD.

Meanwhile, old Victoria Vetri won't be able to watch this Blu-ray. She's currently in prison!

I remember reading about that.
That's some weird, messed up stuff right there.

But as to the film, man, I would still have taken her over Raquel any day.

Wasn't she also in "Invasion Of The Bee Girls"?

Vetria aka Angela Dorian was in a number of TV shows in the late 60s including a "Batman" as King Tut's henchmoll "Florence of Arabia." It's still not clear if she's the uncredited "Isis" in human form at the tag of "Assignment Earth".

My view is that if Raquel is to cave girls what Ursula Andress is to Bond girls then Vetri is the Tanya Roberts/Britt Ekland equivalent. Which is one reason among many why I'm in no rush to get the Blu-Ray of her film as opposed to the upcoming Blu-Ray of OMYBC.

OMYBC is the better movie. Not by much, but better.

Where does Julie Ege, of CREATURES THE WORLD FORGOT, fit into the pantheon of Hammer's prehistoric films?

Maybe the Claudine Auger? smile (Martine Beswick would be the Luciana Paluzzi!)

Martine Beswick in Prehistoric Women is better than even Welch in OMYBC.

Yeah, I agree with that.
