The Stoned Age Arrives In January

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost two years since we interviewed Adam Rifkin about his film Homo Erectus. Unfortunately, the caveman comedy never got a wide release, but there is hope for it on DVD - this is the kind of movie that smacks of becoming a cult favorite. Don’t look for it under the old name though. When the picture was picked up by National Lampoons, it received a title change - National Lampoon’s Stoned Age, which hits DVD on January 20th.

My first reaction to the title was that it sounds a lot more sophomoric than the cultural commentary Rifkin told me about during our interview. Then again, Homo Erectus wasn’t exactly a title that said “high class satire,” so if National Lampoons thinks this is a good title change, so be it - it’s not like they’ve been wrong before.

National Lampoon’s Stoned Age stars writer/director Rifkin as well as an eclectic cast that includes Heroes’ Ali Larter, Gary Busey, David Carridine, and porn celeb Ron Jeremy, in a story about “an upwardly mobile caveman who tries to singlehandedly forge another link in the evolutionary chain - but finds his tribe is more interested in partying than progress.” The trailer gave me the idea of a combination Woody Allen meets Porkies thing going on, although we all know how trailers can be.

Two different versions of the DVD will be available - the R-Rated cut of the movie as well as an “Outrageous Unrated” extended edition. Take a look at the bonus material you can expect to find on the disc, including a commentary from Rifkin, and a blooper reel, below.
