Yes rather hypocritical as the fight is clearly staged for the film yet it passed uncut for the 101 Films Blu-ray/dvd release.The footage was also used in either Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea (Series) or Land Of The Giants.As it's Irwin Allen it could've been recycled in both !.I have the passable German dvd of One Million B.C (1940) "Tumak - Der Herr des Urwalds" & that also has quite a bit of lizard cruelty.
