The film was shot from December 1991 to February 1992.
Dave and Robyn make up, and the three boys lead the entire prom in an impromptu caveman-like dance.Īfter the prom, some of the students attend Dave's house for a pool party, where Dave and Robyn kiss. As Dave and Stoney go after Matt and his friends, another earthquake happens.Īt the prom, Matt's plan to uncover the "freak" backfires as the information instead makes Link even more popular. Matt breaks into Dave's bedroom and steals photographic evidence that Link is a caveman. On prom night, Link is a hit at the party with Robyn as his date, while Dave stays in for the evening. Stoney and Dave console Link that he is not without friends in this time, causing the trio to make a pact, but Dave tries to abandon Link, and a fight between Dave and Stoney causes Link to come running back and separate the friends. Matt's anger and frustration leads to a fight with Link at a skating rink and increases due to Robyn's growing attraction towards Link.ĭuring a school field trip to a natural history museum, Link gets upset realizing that the cavepeople he knew are all dead. Soon, Stoney's bizarre attitude apparently is having an effect on Link's actions and speech, which causes a rift between Dave and Stoney. They manage to fool Dave's parents ( Mariette Hartley and Richard Masur) and sister (Ellen Blain) into thinking he is actually an Estonian exchange student sent to live with them, and enroll him in school, where Link's bizarre behavior and supreme athletic skills shoot Dave and Stoney to popularity by association, allowing Dave to get closer to Robyn, causing Matt's anger and frustration. After bathing him and trimming him to look like an average teenager while getting him some new clothes, Dave names him "Link" as in the missing link. At first, the caveman panics at the sight of them and the sound of a telephone, but Stoney quickly calms him by using the flame of a lighter to mesmerize him. Investigating a beeping smoke alarm, they discover the caveman in Dave's bedroom, attempting to start a fire by rotating a stick in the center of a pile of kindling.
When the boys return home, they find hand paint covering the walls and the house in disarray. The caveman then encounters a garbage truck, which he misinterprets as a mammoth from his time, and a television, which he discovers upon entering the living room. They leave the ice block unattended in the garage and space heaters left on cause the ice to melt, releasing the caveman. One day as Dave is digging a pool in his backyard, he comes across a chunk of ice that has the body of a man in it following an earthquake. Her boyfriend, Matt Wilson ( Michael DeLuise), is a stereotypical jock and school bully, who is constantly responsible for making both Dave and Stoney the objects of ridicule by humiliating them in various ways, usually directly due to Dave's affections toward Robyn. Dave is in love with Robyn Sweeney ( Megan Ward), a sweet and attractive girl who had been his best friend during grade school, and until she reached adolescence, had been rejected by Dave on several occasions. He, along with his best friend Stoney ( Pauly Shore), strives to attain popularity in high school, but comes off more like a reject or an outcast. This segues into a present-day Los Angeles earthquake that awakens average teenager Dave Morgan ( Sean Astin). An earthquake causes a cave-in that buries the two of them. During the first ice age, a caveman ( Brendan Fraser) attempts to make fire with his cavewoman partner ( Sandra Hess).
