User Reviews

Senta Berger lives with five men in a cave, one of which is gay. It is a bad Flintstones like world shot unashamedly on a set with a painted back drop. The jokes are extremely juvenile. The men are idiotic and are being out smarted by an outsider who speaks in anachronisms. The main sell point of the film is the DVD cover. Yes, Senta Berger shows a lot of leg and cleavage, but in today's world that is not worth 99 cents.

This film is the sequel to "When Women had Tails." Oh those Italians are clever. A film that would have appealed to me when I was ten.

Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex talk, no nudity.

Director Pasquale Festa Campanile is back, along with writers Marcello Coscia and Ottavio Jemma with a story by Lina Wertmüller, to tell the story of the cavemen from When Women Had Tails and the cavegirl, Filli (Santa Berger) who has joined them.

Ulli (Giuliano Gemma) and Kao (Lando Buzzanca) don't return, but there's a new cave person named Ham (Lando Buzzanca) to pal around with Grr (Frank Wolff), Maluc (Renzo Montagnani), Put (Lino Toffolo), Uto (Francesco Mulé) and Zog (Aldo Giuffrè) along with other new people like Pap (Mario Adorf) and Katorcia (Fiammetta Baralla).

All of the cave people live inside the skeleton of a dinosaur and life is good until someone figures out what money is and then, as you would figure, things get rough.

Filli has obviously watched The Flintstones as she uses a bird as a kitchen tool. And in the middle of what should be a funny Italian sex comedy, there's a gay caveman who is so upset that he doesn't have a mate that he tries to pay someone to kill him.

At least they used the Ennio Morricone from the first movie, right?

I bought this DVD for two bucks at Walgreens. It was worth both bucks.

While not hilarious, it was entertaining the entire time. Senta Berger's "two" alone were worth the two bucks. While I'm not sure what war these supposed two tribes were preparing for, the parallels to modern life where a riot.

The five dimwits, with the hot woman they "owned" lived a pretty good life inside a dinosaur. No work, no worries. A great con man wanders into their home, and cheats them out of a pig for a "cent." The first currency. The concept of currency, earning a living, having a landlord, etc., is there undoing.

The closing lines are great, about going from sleeping, eating, and getting laid, to now working all day, and too tired when we get home. "But, we're rich. Then why are we miserable."

WHEN WOMEN LOST THEIR TAILS is an Italian caveman comedy and a follow-up to WHEN WOMEN HAD TAILS. These films seem to have been made as a response to the British caveman films being made during the era which included ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. and WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE WORLD. They're extremely dumb, lowbrow comedies that exist in poor quality, badly-dubbed prints that hardly do them any favours.

Don't expect any dinosaurs; a briefly-seen chimp is the most they can feature here. The story is a battle of sexes which throws in a bizarre sub-plot about the dangers of capitalism, most unexpected in a prehistoric tale! The pneumatic Senta Berger spends her time being pursued by Italian film regulars such as Mario Adorf and Frank Wolff, and in that costume, who can blame them?
