Valley of the Dragons (UK title: Prehistoric Valley) is a black and white 1961 science fiction film loosely based on Jules Verne's Off on a Comet and heavily dependent on stock footage from the movies One Million B.C., Cat-Women of the Moon and Rodan.
Plot
Two men preparing for duel in 1881 Algiers, American Michael Denning and Frenchman Hector Servadac, are swept from the face of the Earth by a passing comet and find themselves on another world with cavemen and prehistoric animals.
