Rover Dangerfield: [after attacking one of the wolves] That one's for the three little pigs!

Rover Dangerfield: All night I'd sit up and beg, she told me I was too old to beg!

[about playing fetch]::Rover Dangerfield: He throws a stick, you run and get it, you bring it back and he throws it again! I don't get it! I mean, what's the point?::Raffles: Because it makes them happy and it gives them lots of exercise::Rover Dangerfield: If they want exercise, let them run and get it.::Raffles: So what should I do?::Rover Dangerfield: It's very simple. You do nothing.

Rover Dangerfield: Where's Flappy?::Queenie: Carmine fired him. He couldn't remember the routines.::Rover Dangerfield: Oh, I saw that coming. Flappy was dumb. Yeah, he used to walk backwards and wag his head. I mean dumb! Carmine taught him to sit, he forgot how to stand! And when Carmine paper-trained him, that was something. He went right on the paper. The only trouble is, Carmine was reading it!

[after "I'll Never do it on a Christmas Tree" he knocks on the front door, door opens,]::Rover Dangerfield: Hey folks! I'll never dampen your holidays! [door slams shut]::Rover Dangerfield: No respect. No respect at all.

Eddie: Boy, that Count's really got class.::Rover Dangerfield: I guess that's my trouble, no class. I looked up my family tree, two dogs were using it!

Quotes:

Rowdy: In all my travels I never seen anything like that two-ton lizard. If we could just get him back alive.::Tuck: Yeah, the only thing I want to get back alive is me.

Tia Zorina: He who takes from Gwangi the evil one is cursed.::Carlos: Only by an old woman's tongue.::Tia Zorina: I tell you, if he does not go back to the forbidden vally we shall all suffer a terrible fate. My eyes are blind but I can still see the signs.::Carlos: Keep your superstitions to yourself, old woman.::Tia Zorina: Fool! One day he will learn to obey the law of Gwangi, or like his brother he will perish!

Professor Bromley: Eohippus, if you are one, what are you doing here over 50 million years after you should be extinct. Could be a freak of nature, of course.::Tuck: Is there any way you can tell?::Professor Bromley: By checking its origin. If I could prove that this is the genuine article I should undoubtedly receive a knighthood, Mr Kirby, for the greatest scientific discover of the age.::Tuck: The greatest scientific discovery of the age? T.J. doesn't know what she's got herself.

Professor Bromley: I'm prepared to pay a guide handsomely.::Tia Zorina: To lead to you the forbidden valley? No, not for all the gold in the world.::Tuck: What's this forbidden valley?::Tia Zorina: From there came the little horse and until he is returned a great evil will fall upon us.::Professor Bromley: Rubbish!::Tia Zorina: I tell you, unless the little horse is returned we shall all suffer the curse of hell.::Professor Bromley: Superstitious clap-trap! There's nothing hocus-pocus about that little horse. Don't you realise, we've discovered a living specimen of the Eohippus.::Tuck: What, you mean that thing really is an Eohippus?::Professor Bromley: Of course!...well, naturally we'd have to prove it by scientific research.

Professor Bromley: Don't you see...we must follow the gypsy trail to the forbidden valley because where there is one Eohippus there must be others. At least two, the sire and the mare, possibly more. Just think what you and Miss Breckenridge could do with a dozen Eohippi?

Professor Bromley: This circle of mountains, jagged peaks, steep cliffs, could be the perfect barrier against man and the elements.::Tuck: No wonder they call it the forbidden valley.::Professor Bromley: Yes, it might be the answer to many things. We shall soon see, Mr Kirby.

Lope: What kind of bird is it, professor?::Professor Bromley: Oh, no bird...a giant pterydactyl...a flying reptile. It's been extinct for over 50 million years.::T.J.: Then what is it doing here?::Professor Bromley: Precisely...what is it doing here?

Professor Bromley: I can't go now!::Tuck: Professor, there's a big lizard back there and he's heading this way. Now get aboard!

Tia Zorina: It is as I foretold. Gwangi has killed Carlos just as he killed his brother, Miguel.::Tuck: Well, how d'ya know that?::Tia Zorina: In a dream I saw it...the great jaws snapping, the riderless horse. He was doomed and so will you be doomed ALL OF YOU unless the evil one is set free!::Professor Bromley: Balderedash, my good woman, balderdash! He's no more evil than an alligator. The only thing evil about him are his jaws. Spells? He can cast no spells.

Professor Bromley: In the name of world science I beg you...I implore you to think again.::Tuck: Later, professor, we've got a show to put on.::Professor Bromley: A show! A show! But it's disgraceful to think of putting this fabulous creature on display in a cheap circus.::T.J.: We can do what we like with Gwangi. He's our property.::Professor Bromley: He belongs to us all, to mankind, to scientific research.::Tuck: Easy, professor.::T.J.: You can do your research in the time we give you. You can follow us on our world tour.::Professor: You must be mad...raving mad. World tour? We'll see what The Royal Society has to say about this.

Gene and his pal Smiley (Smiley Burnette') smash the renegades and finally establish their own stage line, and Gene and which every version of "Champion' (Champion(II)' he was riding at the moment exit after 18 years of genre-changing B-westerns. And leaving with the question of why was a name not seen before on a B-western, Ruth Woodman, credited with the story and screenplay?

Plot: Gene Autry (Himself) and Frog Millhouse (Smiley Burnette) encounter Caroline Stanhope (June Storey) who has come to town with her father, Colonel Stanhope (Eddy Waller), to enter her horse in the rodeo, hoping to clear enough money to clear the mortgage on their home back in Carolina. She ignores Gene's advice that the horse is too temperamental for the rodeo noise and commotion, and the horse sprains an ankle. The Colonel, taken by a couple of crooks, loses a thousand dollars in wagers and refuses to turn over his only asset, the horse, in lieu of the cash. Gene, wishing to help, offers Stanhope a thousand dollars for the horse but Caroline thinking Gene is in with the crooks, loads the horse in a trailer and heads back for Carolina. Gene, thinking the Stanhopes are in a scheme to beat him out of his money, takes Frog and follows them. There, they discover the Stanhopes are honest people, who, along with their neighbors are hard-pressed by poverty and a threatened foreclosure of their land and estates by the county's only solvent landowner, Henry Wheeler (Hardie Albright). Wheeler is behind a scheme to get their lands as these timberlands, once thought worthless, are now valuable because of a new lumber-treating process. Gene talks the landowners into holding their property and cutting and selling the timber themselves. Wheeler blocks this by holding up the timberjacks so that the owners will be unable to meet their contract terms. Gene sends for his rodeo band cowboy friends to (between songs) help cut the timber.
