One reason why this movie great:

At the centre of the Earth, Doug McClure, a wench and Peter Cushing are edging along a perilous ledge, a whole two feet above the studio floor. They are escaping from the lair of the evil slave folk who speak in reverb. Suddenly, down below, appears a frog monster!

FROG MONSTER: RARRRRRRRRRRARARARRARAGH!!!!
PETER CUSHING: Oh dear!

The frog monster breathes fire!

PETER CUSHING: Oh my! Oh dear oh dear!
FROG MONSTER: RARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGHHH!!!!

Peter Cushing pulls out a bow and arrow, seemingly from his ass. He fires arrows at the frog monster!

FROG MONSTER: RAAAAAAAAAAAAARRARARARRAGH!

The frog monster explodes!

PETER CUSHING: Oh my!

I have a soft spot for classic B-movies that are unintentionally funny.

You can't go wrong with Peter Cushing using an umbrella to fend off an attack by a slow-moving bird dinosaur monster which goes "RAAAAAAAAAAARRGH!" a lot. -Ralph

Doug McClure starred in many dodgy movies and all of them are appriciated these days for various reasons. They fall under the catagory of 'so bad they're good'.

A list of his films can be found here:
