the last dinosaur was one of those out of nowhere movie of the week films in the 1970 that was pretty exciting for the time especially to fans of japanese tokusatsu films. originally slated for a theatrical release (around when the dino king kong was out in the previous december) it was suddenly pulled and made into a friday night abc movie of the week. rankin bass who were no strangers to japanese co productions were the guns behind this production and co produced with tsuburaya productions of japan the people who brought us ultraman in various forms. starring mostly an american cast including the late richard boone and joan van ark and the late steven keats and it told the tale of a prehistoric pocket of time in what was a superheated volcanic caldera somewhere at the frozen arctic circle and containing dinosaurs. it plays a lot like the films the land unknown(1956) and the land that time forgot(1975) in feel and pace. sure the dinosaurs were guys in suits(a triceratops with front knees. ) but they were filmed in such a way and the music and score was so well done and and the cast did a fine job that this do not matter much to many of us brought up on godzilla. the film has a lot of class to it and from the opening score by nancy wilson the last dinosaur to the overall big feeling of the film the locations at hot springs in northern japan were excellent and lush and the undeniable feeling of kaiju eiga to it. there are some amazing set pieces the t rex bone yard and a tracking shot that takes us deep into the jungle to see the t rex eat a giant fish from a stream. tsuburaya fx people did their job in style here and aside from a few dodgy matte shots and they do their job well. this film is considered the best 1970 kaiju film from japan and even over the five godzilla films made during that decade. rankin bass did several other co productions with tsuburaya providing the creatures or miniatures the bermuda depths(1978) and the ivory ape(1980) but neither measured up to the epic look of this film.
