Prehistoric Women (1967)

aka Slave Girls (a heavily cut UK vers.)

Rather than let the sets and costumes from their successful One Million Years B.C. (1966) film go to waste, HAMMER hastily made a follow-up. It has a campy kind of cave-girl charm, but the only truly memorable aspects are leading lady Martine Beswick and, better still, the eldest of the male slaves.
The male protagonist (Michael Latimer) would've earned my sympathies if he hadn't been introduced as a man who aids shit-bag big game hunters.
The story is even more ridiculous when written down than it seems onscreen, so I'll say only that it's about a tribe of dark-haired women who make slaves out of fair-haired women, all of whom are living under the shadow of a white rhino legend, and unlike OMY BC it has English language dialogue.
