    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Based on the first novel in the bookseries Earth's Children by author Jean M. Auel.
    • Goofs
      With the film's setting taking place somewhere in prehistoric Europe, realistically, it would've been more appropriate for The Clan's little hunting party to have gone after steppe bison, since there was a literal abundance of them roaming all around the European region during this time period, instead of the musk oxen that were featured inhabiting the woodland area.
    • Quotes
      • Brun: You want to be a leader, Broud, but a man who hits his people can never lead the Clan.
    • Alternate versions
      UK cinema and video versions were cut by the BBFC with minor edits to the rape scene. The 2004 Optimum release is fully uncut.
    • Connections
      Featured in At the Movies: The Clan of the Cave Bear/The Delta Force/Wildcats/F/X (1986)
    • Soundtracks
      Heroine
      Written by Michael Brook
