But they’re not looking for little doggies. They’re looking for great big dinosaurs. James Franciscus stars in this thunderous adventure featuring amazing special effects by Ray Harryhausen [The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, Clash of the Titans (1981)]. Franciscus plays a Wild West showman who leads his riding and roping crew into the title region, where prehistoric giants still roam. Thanks to Harryhausen wizardry, fantastic creatures lunge, fight and rampage in scene after dazzling scene (including an awesome sequence where the cowboys rope Gwangi, a razor-toothed allosaurus). Saddle up and join the excitement. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | James Franciscus, Laurence Naismith, Richard Carlson | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,604 Reviews | | Format | Subtitled | | Genre | Action & Adventure, Action-Fantasy | | Language | English | | Runtime | 1 hour and 35 minutes | ## Product Details - **Genre:** action_&_adventure - **Format:** Blu-ray - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 35 minutes - **Studio:** Warner ## Images ![VALLEY OF GWANGI - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91xC+njeRqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!! *by P***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 April 2020* Classic. Was very surprised by the DVD quality considering I didn't get a the BluRay version. The image is sharp as a pin. The only thing that's more obvious now with digital is the FX shots, they had more grain and image quality drop than I remember on the older VHS copies.But that's the nature of Back projection and stop motion old school in camera compositing. They never had the budget to shoot large format 65mm backplates to work with the re-photographed to 35mm creature sequences from the back projection screens, if they had it would have been seamless with no resolution drop. The action with the dinosaurs is inspiring / exciting / thrilling and so much fun to watch, It really is one of those occasions where you feel like a kid again on a Sunday afternoon watching TV. Plus, Cowboys shooting guns at Dinosaurs, never 'not' going to be a winning combination. Plot really simple, but that doesn't matter in this case. I would recommend this , one of Ray's best movies. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Valley of Gwangi is a must see Movie! *by C***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 April 2010* When I was a child in the 1970's Valley of Gwangi was shown quite often on the TV and I was always enthralled...It was this movie and the amazing 1933 King Kong that created my love of dinosaurs and fantasy, and gave me a life long interest in the movies of Ray Harryhausen.I hadn't seen Gwangi for years until I located the DVD, but as soon as I put it on and heard the thumping theme music I was a kid again, watching with awe and wonder.Although I admit the movie is pehaps not perfect, it is for me! Harryhausen's creations are still wonderful and the sheer beauty of his animation is a joy to behold. The famous lassoo scene of the Allosaurus is simply awesome as is the demise of Gwangi in the burning cathedral.It is very entertaining and a very much underrated film... They re-made Clash of the Titans recently, so how about a remake of Gwangi in CGI?A little known fact is that Kong animator and Harryhausen's mentor Willis H O'Brien wanted to make this movie for RKO back in 1942. It never happened of course, but Ray re-discovered the script in his garage and finally made the movie in 1969.If you like Ray Harryhausen and love fantasy movies then I can recommend Valley of Gwangi... Enjoy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A rare gem from the Harryhausen workshop. *by K***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 July 2020* The Valley of Gwangi is one of many fantasy adventures produced by Charles H. Schneer and Ray Harryhausen during their prolific partnership throughout the 1950’s, 60’s, 70’s, and early 80’s.Although Schneer described “Gwangi” as “"probably the least of the movies Ray and I made together”, I can’t entirely agree with that statement.For starters, it has great production values. This movie does NOT look cheap, even despite its venerability and occasional clunkiness.Additionally, it is one of the more original of their (or anyone else’s) monster movies, being that it is essentially “Cowboys Vs. Dinosaurs” – as it would undoubtedly be titled nowadays. It is a full-on Western that just happens to include dinosaurs, and as such is something of a novelty.Overall, this is an unusual and mostly successful movie; a bizarre mashup that lends originality and production values to an otherwise fairly predictable genre. Well worth a watch.Check out my video review of this movie on my YouTube channel, Kit's World.
