On her way to the beach, to show off with her new swimsuit, young Roxy collides a 7 ft tall caveman swinging around a big bludgeon. The prehistoric humanoid vanishes into the desert again but Roxy, along with her father and nerdy boyfriend, promptly organizes an expedition to search for him. The caveman who only produces the word "Eegah" and therefore gets named like that kidnaps Roxy and her father and falls deeply in love with her after she gives him a thorough shaving. When they eventually escape, Eegah is so heart-broken that he goes on a rampage in the civilized world to get back his Roxy. This is righteously labeled as one of the poorest movies ever, with awful plotting, atrocious acting and completely retarded characters. Richard Kiel looks everything but scary as the giant caveman and the "heroes" are even bigger losers (especially grease-haired Archie Hall. Jr). The screenplay contains some of the most inept lines ever written ("He's a creature - why, you just have to look at him to see that. But I know, whatever he is, he's a human being...") and the tempo is often interrupted by silly Archie Hall play-backing a God-awful love song. Avoid if you want to protect your eyes and ears from hurting.
The "MST3K"-version is vastly entertaining, though, with hilarious commentaries and witty remarks about the film's ineptitude ("He's been here since the beginning of time and all he did was three drawings??")
