Ta: [re-appearing from behind a rock and pointing at the 'mud'] Doo-doo!
[Ta giggles, and the Misfits all stop and turn, staring at Ta]
Atouk: [Angrily] Ca-ca.
Nook: [looking with disgust at his fingers and then right into the camera] Shit.
[the Misfits all grab Ta and throw him into the doo-doo]

Ringo Starr stars

Ex-Beatle Starr joins a jock and some real actors in this zany stone age romp. I suppose the ringed one will never be a top actor but I always enjoy his films. This stuff was so goofy it kept me in stitches the whole time. Solid fun with loads of laughs.
