 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Teenage Caveman is a 1958 Science Fiction film directed by Roger Corman.Robert Vaughn stars as a 26-year-old teenage caveman with styled hair who seeks to discover what is in the uncharted jungles beyond his tribe's campsite. It is against the Word (and the Word is the Law), but he breaks it anyway. Soon he discovers a strange creature that kills with its touch. We later learn that this is not a prehistoric tale, but a post-apocalyptic tale, and the strange creature is a 500-plus year old irradiated scientist in a radiation suit.For the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version, please go to the episode recap page.Not to be confused with Larry Clark's MUCH darker 2002 film of the same title, or with Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels.

 Control Freak: The Black-Bearded One. As pointed out by The Symbol Maker's Son, he holds the ambition of being a tribal leader (whether starting his own clan or taking over this one), and he spends much time going around policing everyone else.

 After the End: Though we don't learn this until scientist starts his post-mortem narration. Whether it's our past or our future is left ambiguous; the survivor suspects there have been several cycles of humanity destroying itself and rebuilding, and the "radiation suit" looks nothing like our culture's technology. Apocalypse How: Class 2, Nuke 'em flavor.

 As The Fair-Haired Maiden stares off into the distance where The Symbol Maker's Son has roamed off to, The Black-Bearded One again steps in and questions it. The girl's mother-in-law sarcastically asks if there's a law against it, basically telling him to mind his own damn business.

 Ain't No Rule: When The Black-Bearded One protests The Symbol Maker's Son making a sleeping barrow outside of the caves for him and The Fair-Haired Maiden, the Elder basically shrugs and says "There's no law that says he can't." As The Fair-Haired Maiden stares off into the distance where The Symbol Maker's Son has roamed off to, The Black-Bearded One again steps in and questions it. The girl's mother-in-law sarcastically asks if there's a law against it, basically telling him to mind his own damn business.
