I saw this film when I was a child and I don't remember the name of it.
I only remember that it was set in the Prehistoric Age and a man was fighting with a huge crab. A Science fiction film
Thanks

Giok -
I think the name escapes me.

I did a search and Amazon hasn't got it.

But I do like the title............

Would it be, "Mysterious Island?"

The one about the escapees from a American Civil War prison camp whose balloon crashes on the island. They battle a giant crab and end up tipping it into a fumarole, which cooks it. Giant crab feast follows. A real treat for this Maryland boy.

From the story (book?) by Jules Verne.

The giant baby chick was just silly, though.

It's more likely to be "Attack of the Crab Monsters" (1957) which was directed by Roger Corman and starred Richard Garland and Ed Nelson among others. However there is also "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth" (1970) which has several giant crabs attacking cave people on a beach before a tidal wave arrives.

If that's the size of his crabs, how large are his underpants?

Fiolar, he talks about knocking the crab into a hot springs and feasting on it. I think I recall that in Mysterious Island.

Mick, I was the one talking about the feast, not the original poster.

Thanks, Jeff. I think that Fiolar might be right on this, now that I reread the original post.

Having the crabs is far more frightening. I think it must be Mysterious Island. I've seen it on tv recently..

Nothing can equal the terror of Night Of The Lupus, though

Mysterious Island.

It sounds like a Ray Harryhausen project.

Sounds like there is more than one film with giant crabs!

There's a film I'd like the name of. (Is that a separate thread?)

If not, all I remember is a couple tied to chairs in a jail and a snake (snakes) being let into the jailroom. Black and white, before 1957.

If anyone can help, I'd be grateful (and of course, amazed)

It was entitled, "Adam and Eve: the other part of the story." XXXX rated.
