Following the enormous success of One Million Years B.C. in 1965, Hammer embarked on a series of prehistoric adventures over the next five years, concluding with Creatures the World Forgot. Directed by Don Chaffey previously responsible for One Million Years B.C., not to mention the Ray Harryhausen classic Jason and the Argonauts  the film swapped dinosaurs for more adult content, starred former Miss Norway and ex-Bond girl Julie Ege (On Her Majestys Secret Service), and earned itself an X certificate in the process. Even today, it still rates an 18 from the BBFC!
