Women of the Prehistoric Planet is a 1966 independently made American science fiction/action film written and directed by Arthur C. Pierce, with Wendell Corey receiving the top billing among the cast.

One of the ships in the fleet is hijacked by a few of its Centaurian passengers and crash-lands on a prehistoric planet in the "Solaris" system.

Race relations are the film's overarching theme, although its approach to the subject has been typically criticized in retrospect.

Even the "progressive" notion of Tang being the mixed-race son of a "white" and a Centaurian, is undermined by his apparent comfort at being a cave man.

[4] Writing for AllMovie, critic Bruce Eder described the film as a "camp classic" that features "laughable special effects", "obviously rushed performances", and an "awkward interjection of some lunkhead humor".

[6] Other reviewers have assessed the film as a "bomb" and described it as "Typical bad sci-fi ... with horrid special effects".

The film's MST3K version was broadcast as episode #104 and was released by Rhino Home Video as part of their DVD "Collection, Volume 9" box set; it was accompanied by a short introduction by actress Irene Tsu (Linda).
