DINOSAURUS!
Dir. Irvin S. Yeaworth Jr., 1960
USA, 85 min.
In English
In his 1960 review of DINOSAURUS!, Howard Thompson of the New York Times wrote "If ever there was a tired, synthetic, plodding sample of movie junk, it's this 'epic' about two prehistoric animals hauled from an underwater deep-freeze by some island engineers".
Howard Thompson was always a hack and the Times has always been, and continues to be, garbage.
On a mysterious island in the Carribbean, a team of scientists discovers two dinosaurs and a caveman held in suspended animation for 70 million years. While the caveman and the Brontosaurus befriend the locals, the T-Rex, or TYRANT LIZARD KING!, does not. Crammed with underwater photography, stop-motion animation, puppets and lovely St. Croix exteriors, it's a film made for dinosaur kids ready to blow their allowances on a rock-em sock-em matinee. Written with THE BLOB star Steve McQueen in mind as the star, the role of Ward Ramsey instead went to newcomer Bart Thompson, who's ready to show these overgrown lizards what for! Our tribute to the great Jack Harris (who both produced and wrote the original story) is well served by DINOSAURUS! Goofs, stunts, derring-do and dinosaur fights: THAT is what cinema is truly about.
