The interesting thing about this movie is that the creators of this movie had the imagination to join two different genres of movies: Westerns and Dinosaur flicks. Pretty original.
I love the SFX of this period, but something that I can't stand is the fact that in all this movies, the dinosaus always dies, and most of the time unnecessarily, like in this scene. The girl has already been rescued moron, why you have to kill the animal? When I as kid, I always was sad for all the dead dinosaurs. I know, I know, that was the mentality of the time, I understand, but I don't like it, not just a little bit.
I agree they CHOSE to bring the Allosaurus or Ceratosaurus into the city despite knowing the risks yet when it breaks out and runs loose they punish IT by killing the creature
This reminds me of a story I heard once; a group of cowboys were attacked by a giant flying creature, described as "having the head of an alligator, a long tail and bat-like wings". They eventually managed to kill it and proudly nailed it's dead body to the side of a barn, taking a photograph of the men standing under it. The "Lost Thunderbird Photo" has been passed around for years, and it's current location is a mystery.
Scientist guy: "What we just broke the neck of here sir, was a beautiful Pterosaurus. Unbelievably, it WAS alive... after all these millions of yeahssz! Now let's go rope up the last living T-Rex and then set it on fire, shall we?" Cowboy: "Can't we make some money off it first? Sell it to Barnum and Bailey... or somethin'??" Ah, humans. We're so good for the environment lol
il y a bien un western avec un vampire tout habillé de noir et la ils y a des dinosaures. Le cinéma ces fantastique j adore ça depuis que je suis gosse la vallée de gwangy est un film formidable avec les dinosaures du Maître Ray harryausen émule du grand willis Obrien.
As innacurate as this "Pteranodon" is, I gotta give them props for realistically showing that a Pteranodon wasn`t strong enough to carry a human away. Also couldn't they have found better sound effects for this thing than a chocking pig?
@@spicymemes2489 Were you dropped on your head as a child, Mr. "Dinosaurs are giant, sluggish, cold-blooded lizard monsters that are all prehistoric reptiles"?
What's with Harryhausen's Pteranodon's having bat-like wings instead of actual Pteranodon wings? I mean no offense to him but the bat wings on his Pteranodons look very inaccurate considering that their wings weren't shaped like that in real life.
If there were a Pterosaur called Pterosaurus, it wouldn't look like that. For starters, it's freaking enormous. The wingspan looks like maybe 12 meters. The beak looks like a meter and a half. Even the largest Pterosaurs weren't THAT enormous. Then, we have the wings. Those slightly resemble bat wings, but look nothing like Pterosaur wings. Pterosaur wings are entirely built around the arm and the pinkie. All other fingers are not used to control the wings. Then, we have the feet. Those are basically eagle claws. Pterosaur feet had short toes, were padded on the bottom, and were plantigrade, meaning the walked on their souls, not on their balls of their feet or their toes. Try grabbing a dog and lifting it with your feet and you'll see why this is unrealistic. They couldn't have grabbed anything, let alone a person. In reality, it would probably just land, stab them, and then eat them, or maybe fly off with them in its jaw. It's beak is too small for its body, as is its crest. In reality, most large, beaked pterosaurs had huge beaks, about 1/4th of their own wingspan in length. Giant flying animals cannot just hover in mid-air like helicopters. Repeat, CANNOT. It's wings would literally fall off and it would consume so much power that it would boil itself alive. This is why vultures circle, instead of just hovering over their potential meal. Giant pterosaurs had proportionally short wings. Medium-large pterosaurs never got to even half those dimensions. The head and neck is clearly based around Pteranodon, which had a wingspan of 7 meters, not 12, or whatever that is, and weighed less than a human adult. Also, the wing membranes connected all the way to the heal, and on both sides of the arm, thanks to the Pteroid bone.
FFS it's a movie, back in the 60's they just entertained, nobody cared how accurate it was, Ray also said later in an interview he added bats wigs to it because they just looked more dramatic, I'd hate to be a millennial, you can't enjoy anything other than booze and fucking.
Your wrong actually. Pterodactyls and Pteranodons grew just as big, if not bigger than the one shown in this film. Second, all pterosaurs had sharp talons to catch prey and scaly wings that resemble that of bat wings. The beak matches every pterodactyl fossil in known history so this is actually a very accurate pterodactyl.
@@spicymemes2489 Aren't you that idiot who thinks pterodactyls are dinosaurs that evolved into bats, Brontosaurus lived in swamps and is the real name for Apatosaurus, footprint fossils formed from hard ground instead of mud and sand, birds are all poultry and did not evolve from dinosaurs, raptors have gecko-like scales instead of feathers, T. rex is top-heavy because of its massive head, and dinosaurs are giant lizard monsters that dragged their tails because that somehow balances their bodies?
That prehistoric reptile lived in same time with dinosaurs called Pteranodon not Pterosaurus. If I spelled Pteronodon wrong then someone tell me correct spelling.
Ladondorf C.A. - Stop Motion Films I know that already. Tyrannosaurus Rex name means King of the Tyrant Lizards it was Tyrannosaur which is one of the group of Theropods. Tyrannosaurus one of the biggest Theropods. Tyrannosaurus Rex the biggest Tyrannosaur 12 - 14 m (40 - 46 ft) long and weight was 6 - 7 tonnes the second biggest it's Tarbosaurus 12 m (40 ft) long and weight is 5 tonne. Their is 6 Tyrannosaurs.
Billy Yoder Pterosaurus ain't kind dinosaur. I fault they was dinosaurs ones but that was when I was kid just bit know about dinosaurs and know only couple of dinosaurs so far.
(THE VALLEY OF GWANGI) Se podria decir que este film dirigido por Jim O'Connolly es un Wéstern fantástico gracias a los espectaculares efectos de RAY HARRYHOUSEN (stop motion)
The pterosaurs in this film were erroneously given bat's wings (you can see the two long fingers supporting each wing membrane). They were also wrong in One million years BC (perhaps they used the same model?) The wings of bats, birds and pterosaurs are very different and often used to illustrate the concept of convergent evolution. Interestingly, even when Willis O'Brien animated pterosaurs for King Kong back in the 1930s they had the correct kind of wings.
I know that, Professor Science. Jeez, you must be one of those guys who have an urgency to point all the scientific mistakes in movies, like the fact Godzilla is not a real dinosaur. My point is, I don't like to see mesozoic reptiles dying in fictional movies with stop motion SFX. Is that right for you, Mr. Smarty Pants?
@@TheDevilHydraProdsXXII do you hear a sound of meat being ripped? So the cowboy bites and rippes a piece of meat of the pteranodon so how kills with 2 bites we need 208 lol?
Some fun facts: I believe Valley was loosely based on a 1950s unused idea. VALLEY OF THE MIST was another Willis O'Brien project that put humanity in contact with dinosaurs . This time , a boy hunts down a giant lizard in a hidden valley . He intends to trade it for his prized bull , which has been sold by his father . Originally titled Emilio and Guloso , then El Toro Estrella ( The Star Bull ) , screenwriter William " Bill " Lasky created a new screenplay from O'Brien's treatment and gave it a new title : Valley of the Mist . Bill hoped to get his father , the legendary Jesse L. Lasky , founder of Paramount Pictures , to green - light the picture . The film was to have been shot in Mexico , in full Technicolor . However , no studio would agree to finance a movie that involved so much special effects animation after the perceived overspend on Mighty Joe Young . This was a film that Ray would undoubtedly have worked on had it gone ahead.
This thin , almost risible tale , is but a mounting for Ray Harryhausen's celebrated special effects The lassoing of the terrified monster took Harryhausen 5 months to film , blending the live action shots of the riders to the stop - motion footage of the roped Gwangi and is one of his most successful animation effects . The humans are an exceedingly dull lot , losing out to the latex creations in the acting honours !
Nee. Een pteranodon heeft een soort hanenkam zoals die in dit filmpje terwijl de pterodactylus er geen heeft en ook veel kleiner is. De pteranodon is een van de grootste pterosauries hij is verslagen door the ornithocheirus en de quetzalcoatlus
Oh come on now. A pterodactyl wasn't so clumsy on land that once it landed it wouldn't be able to hop around. By the way, did those pterodactyl's have talons like eagles? If so, they would have pierced the kids shoulders.
Sharks aren't dinosaurs you know! as far as I know, the descendant of dinosaurs are modern day birds (Raptor or Ostrich mimic dinosaur types), but Megalodon is a prehistoric Shark, not a dinosaur!

Yeah never seen anything like it.
There is a short story where a sheriff and his pose has to defend a small texan town from a tripod from the war of the worlds.
How my parents describe the struggle of walking to school back then
I imagined the cowboys riding on the pterosaur, and then say “YEEEEEEE-HHHHHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!”.
When I was a kid I thought it was real
To modern people, its Red Dead Redemption + Jurassic Park lol
More like Red dead + King Kong, if you know the plot

John Molloy first of all, it's a beautiful creature. second, no kids would ever get scared from a dinosaur movie
Dalibor Jovanovic this is a really old movie can’t compare to today
Harryhausen knew that a pterosaur had the long plain wings, he opted for bat ones on his as it just looked cooler.
The pterodactyl in this film was very accurate and realistic, any paleontologist would agree
@@spicymemes2489 Were you dropped on your head as a child, Mr. "Dinosaurs are giant, sluggish, cold-blooded lizard monsters that are all prehistoric reptiles"?
The animation is amazing anyway
he just snatched that boy up like a happy meal.

I think the bat wings are because accurate pterosaur wings are more difficult to animate the extra finger rod helps
Probably because harryhausen thought they looked cooler

Is it just me, or does that pteranodon sound just like a cliffracer?
Pterodactyl Thoughts:
1:23 "I'll just be taking this."
1:50 "Man,*PANT* You're Kinda heavy...
1:57 "Fuck Fuck Fuck FUCK"
2:10 "Please help. Please?"
2:18: "sweet than-OH FUCK"
2:40 "What're you doing?"
2:57 "STAHP"
that is pteranodon
I wish it were real!
This is the true story of Wyatt Earp.
This is a true story.
The effects where good for the time, so shuddup!
gracias x compartir esta pelicula es una joya me podrian dar el nombre es que no me acuerdo. cuando la vi tenia como 10 años. GRACIAS!!

+Kenan Yalcinoglu Pteranodon was a type of Pterosaur, like how T. Rex was a type of Dinosaur, or how Humans are a type of primate.

Why'd you say that thing about the theropods? I'm talking about the word Pterosaur.
Hey bro that's your right that is the right name for this dinosaur
Billy Yoder Pterosaurus ain't kind dinosaur. I fault they was dinosaurs ones but that was when I was kid just bit know about dinosaurs and know only couple of dinosaurs so far.
Ok that is 100% bullshit, a pterosaurus isn't that weak.
Actually it was genious.

o carlos é foda!
actually pteranodon and pterodactylus are different species of pterosaur
that wasn't a dinosaur
I'll go with knuckles and Amy tails with me too
Sonic to go with ray and mighty
They have to be careful
I guess only few cowboys made it to be motorcyclists.
Pteranodons don't eat humans. They eat sea creatures.
Quetzalcoatlus, on the other hand...
pterosaurs eat humans
The cowboy killed it with his only hands? Is he like Hercules? Impossible.
He also has good leverage with the beak and frill at the back, he cork screwed it, actually just screwed it. LOL.
Severus Jake he twisted its neck
@@TheDevilHydraProdsXXII do you hear a sound of meat being ripped? So the cowboy bites and rippes a piece of meat of the pteranodon so how kills with 2 bites we need 208 lol?
Well i looked and Saw it
Lol how cowboy kills a pteranodon biting? It?

Nice going dudes you just killed the last pterodactyl, you could have captured and sold it and made a fortune.
whats the name of the movie it saunds interesting end why is youtube puting that into my recommended
The movie is The Valley of Gwangi
Cryptozoology novel about two boys who find something strange on a beach one night see video book trailer
i just see one of the cowboy broke the pterosaur's neck and the pterosaurus dies

you can find that about talons on the tv show lost tapes episode: Thunderbird
Rayarena Actually, It's a Pteranodon, I'm a dinosaur expert, when I see it's crest, I know exactly what kind of pterosaur it is!!!
Christopher Jordan well do you know a little bit about the dinosaur shark Megalodon?
Sharks aren't dinosaurs you know! as far as I know, the descendant of dinosaurs are modern day birds (Raptor or Ostrich mimic dinosaur types), but Megalodon is a prehistoric Shark, not a dinosaur!
Christopher Jordan hmph well you don't to be a smart mouth, you know I just asking.
Pteranodon!? anyone!?
But still, good comment.
If only...
where did it come from?
