This film has cavemen fighting dinosaurs. As most people (not counting perhaps very young children) know, the first humans didn't appear until more than a hundred million years after the dinosaurs died out. Why isn't this listed on the goofs page for this film?
shareWell, as Ray Harryhausen himself has stated, ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. is a fantasy movie; they were not going for scientific accuracy. Heck, you even have some dinosaurs in this film that lived in different eras (the bronto and the triceratops), and of course, there have never been iguanas as big as the one featured here!
shareThe OP needs to look up the meaning of the word 'goof.'
Any aspect of this, or any other film that was rendered intentionally by the film makers is not a goof.
By his definition, any fantasy element in any film or other work of art could be considered for inclusion:
Superman flying without a machine? Goof!
Rambo taking on various armies single-handedly & winning? Goof!
What, Aliens, vs Predators? Goof, goof, goof!
Get the picture?
There's only one unintentional mistake in this thread & it has nothing to do with films...
Hear hear.

They couldn't take their eyes off of Raquel Welch in that bikini-like thing long enough to find any!
shareBecause the whole film is ONE BIG GOOF! :)

Really ? The Dinos went belly up at the end of the Cretaceous - 65 MYA.
You need to do some catching up there buddy.
Maybe it's actually set in the future, where human beings have been reduced to cavemen after nuclear war and genetically-engineered dinosaurs have broken out of their enclosures and are now on the loose.
:0)
It's fantasy.
Set in a parallel or alternative dimension/universe.
Period.
There's also the small scientific point that dinosaurs and homo-sapiens never coexisted. Missed each other by about 50 million years.
shareI thought the biggest GOOF was the clean shaven legs of the Cavewomen. Modern women in Europe don't even have legs that clean.
shareThe only goofs I can think of are Raquel Welsh's character's shoes appearing and disappearing in one scene. And when the triceratops moves away there's a moment where you can hear it roaring but its mouth is closed.
If films have to be historically correct, then maybe this film is set in an alternative universe where the dinosaurs didn't die out but were just reduced in numbers by meteors/disease/whatever, allowing human beings to evolve alongside them.
I don't where you guys are looking but there is a 'Goofs' Listing.
Unless it was put up very, very recently.
This film has cavemen fighting dinosaursYou're right of course, petekrug17. There's nothing in the movie to suggest that it's a 'fantasy' or a 'parallel universe' as these others suggested.
