To be fair, that was the work of Tic Tic, and seriously…you don’t mess with the Tic Tic, 'cause he’s the bomb.
Until, of course, the plot requires him to not be the bomb.
I haven’t seen the flick yet, but I’m really sure most (non-proboscideans-ophile) movie viewers would find that gate fine. OTOH, I’ll also note that LOTR::ROTK got this detail right, but I’m not sure if I would have noticed if they hadn’t.
I’m also not sure why the spoiler is a spoiler, but I guess excess courtesy is better than the reverse. 
Quite true. However, both species (and many other megafauna) were extinct long before the emergence of the first (known) civilization capable of building a pyramid.
Yah, I’ve listened to a ton of people complain about unexpected spoilers, to the extent that I really think some people would prefer not to know anything at all about a movie, going in. So I thought I’d err on the side of caution.
And until, of course, the plot requires him to turn his back on a freshly dead adversary without making sure said adversary was, in fact, completely dead…
The mammoth hunt scene looked to me, as it flashed past, like the entire hunting party was sneaking up into the midst of the herd, through not-very-tall grass. Maybe that was just a failure of editing to tell the story coherently…
Makes sense to me. But I would think most movie goers would have been expecting mammoths. Then again, maybe there are there folks going to this movie blind, thinking it’s a Johnny Hart animated feature. 
Say what you will about this flick, it apparently topped the box office this past weekend. I think it’s on its way to being a MEBMEV (Most Enjoyable Bad Movie EVer), in a league with Plan Nine and Robot Monster.
The review in the Boston Globe is hilarious:
This reminds me a lot of the movie “Quest for Fire”. That movie had sabertooth tigers, cavemen, primitive tribes, and I think it had mammouths too. It also showed the invention of the missionary position. IMDB didn’t mention what year it was set in.
Pyramids, Mammoths, and the New Testament?
I liked that film. I don’t remember the saber toothed cats, but it did have Mammoths. It had Neanderthals, Modern Humans and some other type of Human that might have been Homo erectus or something along those lines. It wasn’t so much that the missionary position was invented, but that Rae Dawn Chong’s character didn’t like the idea of doing it doggy stile with the Neanderthal guy. She was supposed to be a modern human, and I guess we were supposed to believe that Neanderthals didn’t use the missionary position.
I first read this as smokin’ “Pot”. Shows you where MY head is!
OK, I really want to see this movie. Sounds like the best movie for laughing at and at the same time enjoying the ride since Zardoz.
I liked Quest for Fire, too.
This movie makes Quest for Fire look like Cries and Whispers.
P.S. This movie is better than Zardoz, no kidding. It’s not laugh-out-loud silly, though; it just makes you go, “…what?” every so often. And you sit there wondering…
[spoiler]…who’s paying for all this construction? There’s gotta be, like, an economy somewhere, but nothing’s in evidence.
Also, except for the Love Interest and a couple of Second Teen Leads (both male), women and children are conspicuous by their absence. This is a Guy Flick.[/spoiler]
Perhaps I dozed for a bit, but when the warriors were traveling across the country following the Bad Guys[sup]TM[/sup], did they actually go from snow covered mountains immediately into a tropical rainforest?
ISTR that one can actually do this at Mt. Kilimanjaro.
I had the same experience. I dozed off during the interminable trekking scenes and the next thing I knew they were out of the tundra and into a lush, tropical rainforest, then a few steps later they were in a desert. I think there was a mountain in there someplace too.
Actually, there is evidence of dwarf mammoths on Wrangel Island being alive during the same period as the pyramids

Yes; but then, they weren’t “megafauna”. 
They pretty much do this in Aguirre, The Wrath of God, too. That thought actually popped into my head while the scene was rolling.
ETA: Although, if one is going to be unutterably tedious and insist on fitting this puppy into the adult world’s matrix of, like, actual history and geography, they do go directly from the Himalayas to Sub-Saharan Africa, which is a pretty neat trick.
Well, I’m sure that plate tectonics played into the geography somehow. 
I reckon its about pre Clovis Atlantis myself just after the gods from space had left the Earth.
